What the Past Can Teach Us with Rachel Lissy [IEP 162]

We’re excited to get to speak with Rachel Lissy, an educational consultant for the podcast series, “Nice White Parents”! Listen in to hear the inside scoop on how the podcast came about, the role she played in it, and what her own research and experience reveal about the intersection of integration and the discipline gap. Show Highlights: Rachel details her background and how she became interested and involved in integration. The “discipline gap” is disproportionate racialized discipline, which are ways in which students of color are suspended and expelled at higher rates. Rachel works for Ramapo for Children, an organization that started in 1922. Rachel shares how she hopes to see education in schools going forward. Integration and inclusion is hard work for everyone, as Rachel explains. How we learn from the past gives us hope that we will have the tools to build a more integrated and inclusive future.
