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.

#066 - Dr. Ken Brien | Teacher Status Games and How to Avoid Them
Ken Brien is currently a Professor at the University of New Brunswick with a focus on Educational Leadership, Parental Involvement in Education, and Educational Governance. On the episode, Ken and I discuss Administrative Theory and what that actually means, the crossover between business and educational leadership, the importance of accurately defining your clientele, the unwritten status games in education and how to navigate it, how to know you are ready for Graduate school and what professors look for in applications, the financial incentives (or lack thereof) for educational leaders, how to teach behaviour, cyberbullying in schools and how to handle it, and, much more! Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show.
