Silence is a Statement: Understanding Race in High School

There is no denying that today’s high schoolers are faced with more sophisticated issues around race than ever before. Unfortunately, not everyone in a high school community has the lived experience or training to address this issue at the level that students need. This session is designed to help all of us understand the experience of race and apply deeper levels of awareness to new behaviors.

Guest: Allison Manswell, Chief Results Officer, Path Forward Consulting
