Book Talk: Revisiting Classic Books Through a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Lens Monday, October 19, 7:00 PM-8:00 PM
Join Head of School, John Bracker, and Dr. Camille Rich for an interactive discussion about revisiting classic books through a DEI lens. Occasionally, classic children books may have content and messages about race, religion, culture, gender equality and identity, and other topics that may be troubling or antiquated when viewed through a DEI lens today. This session provides parents and families with the tools to: talk about potentially difficult issues raised in books, teach children to identify and interrupt discriminatory messages when they encounter them, and help families grow closer by showing that family is a supportive and open space where children can deepen their understanding about the world around them.
