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.

Steph McFarland is a Secondary Humanities & CTS Teacher who has been in the profession for eighteen years. On this episode, Steph and I discuss our religious upbringing and rapture fear (if you know, you know), how my friends used to pay me to swear, sitting with your first year teacher self, how you can get lost in the busyness of a big school, yearbook creation struggles, being the biggest personality in the room if you teach junior high, feeling zero shame in the creation of my staff speaker speech, junior high versus senior high humour, balancing skibidi with legitimate results, not needing to start the year as a ‘huge betch’ and simplifying the rules for your classroom, having a student teacher for the first time, how phones are the new pacifier, filling your social bucket, our favorite classes, teaching virtually, her infamous marking injury, and. much more! Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show!
