Mr. Clarke After Dark
Welcome to the “Mr. Clarke After Dark” podcast with host Lucas Clarke, an educator determined to move away from recycled professional development and engage in more nuanced, personable, and relevant conversations for learning.
Each week, Mr. Clarke unpacks the inner workings of the classroom and learns out loud with educators, politicians, comedians, and other field experts of all shapes, sizes, and burnout levels. Whether they have been in the trenches of their profession for five months or fifty years, we are here to share everything from classroom hacks, our worst mistakes, and the occasional profound musing (from the guests). From conversations about race with Daryl Davis, education reform with Jennifer Gonzalez, global educational development with professors from the World Bank, to stories about students farting in class, there will always be something you can take away from the show, for better or worse.
So, come on over and join the dark side ... unless you’re scared.

Advice for Changing Cities as a Veteran Teacher | Episode #44 - Faith McPeek
Faith McPeek (@mcpeekteaches) is an elementary teacher based out of Illinois. On this episode, Faith and I discuss how adults are actually the most difficult part of teaching, how the teacher legacy continues after parents, kids vaping, the importance of student-centred learning, weirdness of standardization in elementary schools, how kids do not know how to athletically engage their body, the trials of moving across the country to teach and the guilt of leaving your school, especially your teacher besties, the onset of kids playing fortnite, how we would use pictochat on DS back in the day, and, much more. Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show!
