Lybroan James holds a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics/economics from UCLA and a master’s degree in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a teacher for 15 years, James saw inequities in educational opportunities that ignited his passion to support the most underserved, disenfranchised group in public schools—young students of color. James designs and presents curricula and trains teachers on how to instruct students of color effectively in both face-to-face and online environments. As a futurist, James has been studying the future of education and learning for more than 25 years and has been a certified online instructor since 2001.
His company, Stemulate Solutions, addresses common core state standards (with an emphasis on STEM) and issues of equity, cultural competence, and student engagement. James helps teachers engage in rigorous math instruction through professional development, workshops, and seminars, with a focus on preparation for 21st-century skills. His methodology uses music, humor, generative AI, and storytelling to communicate abstract concepts and problem-solving skills.
