What People Are Saying
“Dr. Coughlan’s analyses of segregation in our elementary schools, racially disparate academic tracking and residential segregation played an invaluable role in reaching a settlement to resolve the federal civil rights lawsuit the Black Parents Workshop, Inc. filed against the South Orange-Maplewood (NJ) School District. His understanding of the core issues of education equity combined with his analytical skills provided our organization with a powerful weapon to demand redress for the mistreatment of Black students in the district. Dr. Coughlan’s work underscores the importance of data in fighting injustice and the power behind numbers when they can be substantiated by objective inquiry.”
—Walter Fields, Founder of Black Parents Workshop
“Over the course of the past year and a half, Danielle Mastrogiovanni has practically become a household name here at Newsela. As a company, topics around equity and access, Culturally Relevant Teaching, and moving the needle in innovation are discussed on a regular basis. The incredible work she is doing is often surfaced as an exemplar in these conversations. Bravo to this important work she is spearheading! I am so grateful for her dedication in redefining education—building cultural competence and social awareness while helping kids become life-long learners.”
— Chris Mezzatesta, Chief Customer Officer at Newsela
“Under Nadine’s leadership, initiatives such as Courageous Voices and the Education Empowerment Alliance has transformed my understanding of equity and anti-racism work in schools. These initiatives gave me an analysis and framework for understanding historic racism and oppression in schooling systems, alongside applicable tools to work for equity and anti-racism. Importantly, under Nadine’s leadership, I was always called to implicate myself—especially as a white educator—in these systems, and engage in self-transformative work around my own socialization as an educator and member of society. Nadine has created spaces for learning, growth, and accountability in organizing for the types of schools and education our young people deserve.”
