Dr. Howard Stevenson Visits May 1
We are incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Howard Stevenson coming to Cathedral School tomorrow evening to present on the topic of racial literacy -- the skill set required to navigate race and talk to our children about race. Don't miss this Thought Leader's presentation.
To borrow from his TED bio, "Dr. Howard C. Stevenson's work involves developing culturally relevant, in-the-moment, strength-based measures and therapeutic interventions that teach emotional and racial literacy to families and youth."
