On November 20, 2018 at 4pm EST, the Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color is proud to announce its 2nd speaker of the academic year in our educational teleconference series, Conversations with Influential Thought Leaders. The goal of this series is to create, deepen and strengthen the capacity of educators and advocates dedicated to the affirmative development of boys and young men of color.
Conversations with Influential Thought Leaders is a powerful forum for learning and inquiry. In these one-hour teleconference calls, Ron Walker engages prominent leaders in an inquiry that is focused on COSEBOC’s 2019 theme: Boys & Young Men of Color: Ready to Learn, Honored to Serve, Destined to Lead. These conversations are followed by a Q&A inviting audience participation. These calls are currently free to all, but registration is required. A follow-up audio recording will be provided free for COSEBOC members.
