003 Representin’ Queens Part II




Tea With Teachers Podcast  /  Conversation  /  Identity  /  Life Experiences show

Summary: In Part 2 of Episode 3, I continue my conversation with Marielys Garcia, Dean of Culture at the charter school I work at.  We begin with her perspective on comments made by now Attorney General Jeff Sessions when he singled out Dominican immigrants on the senate floor. Then we dive into her role as Dean as we explore the challenges of using suspension as policy, how she deals with her own implicit biases as a woman of color in her position and the power of de-escalation as a tool for conflict resolution.
