Director of Content & Consumer Relationships Crayola Speaking up on the behalf of children—helping government policy-makers, business leaders, news media, parents and educators understand children’s abilities and interests—has been Cheri Sterman’s career. She is an experienced child advocate and “kid expert” who helps others understand play, learning, child development and childhood trends. Cheri taught child development at the University of Cincinnati and Sinclair College in Ohio. She served as member of the White House Committee for Children and Youth, the Ohio Commission for Children and Families, the Pennsylvania Commission for Children, Conference Chairperson for Children’s Defense Fund, Director of Governor Celeste’s Children’s Programs, and child development speaker at National Governor’s Association. Twenty years ago Cheri joined Crayola as the Director of Child Development, where today she supervises the Crayola Editorial-Content Group and the Consumer Contact Center. She’s authored Crayola publications entitled, How Children Learn, How to Raise a Creative Child, Imagination Quotient—The Other IQ® and The Power of Creativity, helping adults understand children’s potential. She holds BAs in Child Development and Education from University of Cincinnati, and an MA in Early Childhood from UC. Yet, she credits her three kids with teaching her most of what she knows about kids and parenting. |
