#30 After Columbine: How to Create a Culture of Connection in Schools with Darrell Scott

Today's episode features Darrell Scott, an ardent activist whose daughter Rachel was the first victim of the Columbine Massacre in 1999. Darrell talks about coping with immense loss, the powerful movement that was sparked by Rachel's diaries, and how educators and parents can create a culture of connection in their schools and communities. In light of the recent suicides of Parkland students and one victim's parent from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, we know this is a particularly sensitive conversation -- one that we hope invites all of us to consider what we can do to increase compassion and eradicate violence of any kind.
