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.

#058 - Sobhi Hamed | Handling Confrontation with Students
Sobhi Hamed is currently a Vice Principal and has been in the profession for close to a decade. On this episode, we start deep going into how he has grown in his relationship with his children, how he has negotiated professional development with spending time with family, giving up extra-curriculars in pursuing higher positions, the beauty of watching your kids experiencing new things, email addiction, teacher side-hustles, tense conflicts with students, being a relationship building legend, putting yourself in position to lead, noticing when students try to distract you, the difference between a classroom and a learning environment, the value in having more first days as a High School Teacher, getting promoted within your own school and handling the new dynamic, struggling with having an older EA in your classroom and not knowing how to develop the relationship, and, much more!
