Description
We hope you will join us as we learn about the impact of summer learning in Springfield and why it matters. We will examine how the pandemic exacerbated existing learning gaps nationally and within District 186 as seen in the Illinois Report Card scores. Finally, we will examine a case study of the Camp Compass program and seek solutions from the community as to how we can improve the education of all our children going forward. Our panelists are: Molly Berendt, founder and chief executive officer of Compass for Kids; Jennifer Gill, the Superintendent of Springfield Public School District 186; and Terrance Jordan, Director of School Leadership & Family and Community Engagement of Springfield Public School District 186. Free coffee/networking at 7:30 a.m., program begins at 8.
