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.

On this episode, Mandy and I discuss wholeheartedly supporting rewards for kids, the symptoms of ADHD in undiagnosed adults, the importance of tiered interventions, visual schedules and reinforcement systems for children with ADHD, the disconnect between teachers and parents over creating consistency at home and in the classroom and how to handle the awkward conversations, replacement behaviours, how parenting is fundamentally calibrating your own response to your child’s behaviour, analyzing validation-seeking behaviour in your kids, and, much more. Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the show!
