On Wednesday, March 13, SXU’s Orland Park Campus will be holding the sixth annual Support and Technical Assistance Regionally Network (STAR NET) Region VI conference.
STAR NET is an organization funded by a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education that specializes in providing resources such as training and consultation to those who deal with young children.
Next week’s conference is no different. Entitled “Early Childhood Today: Achieving Standards That Support Children,” the intended attendees are teachers, caregivers, parents or anyone who would deal with young children in a professional manner.
The conference will consist of a day full of workshops with the highlight being a lecture by Kathey Chvostal Smith, a child development specialist, entitled “Nobody Told Me About the Parents…”
For those who wish to attend, preregistration is required along with a nonrefundable fee of $35. The conference will last from check-in at 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Lunch is included in the registration fee and childcare will not be provided.
