The desegregation plans in place in the St. Louis region have created a distinct system of separate and unequal schools that remains deeply entrenched in the status quo.  As a school leader, she felt the limits of this system and recognized that it was going to require a different kind of advocacy to make the impact she desired.  Dr. Racette is currently serving as a fellow at the Illinois State Board of Education where she works in the Center for Teaching and Learning.  She is involved in a multitude of projects there including the Diverse Learner Ready Teacher initiative, the reauthorization of the state Perkins plan, the Equity Advisory Work Group, and supporting the Early Childhood Education Division in writing the FY20 ECE Block Grants.  esj_podcast_-_dr_racette.mp3File Size:  35457 kbFile Type:   mp3Download File
