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.

#067 - Stacey Houston | The Disturbing Depth of the Canadian Housing Crisis
Stacey Houston is currently the Director of Housing at Civida in Edmonton, Alberta. On the episode, Stacey and I discuss the housing crisis in Canada, what the barriers are for access to housing in Canada, how their organization calculates prioritization for residents, how she has a degree in housing and how uncommon this stream actually is, the struggle of assigning housing to individuals, the thousands of requests they receive for housing just in Edmonton alone, why it takes so long for housing developments to get shovels in the ground, the temporary timeline given to those in social assistance housing and how they create their plans for self-sufficiency, how insanely long their wait list is for homeless and underhoused individuals, how interest rates price organizations out of developing housing, and, much more! Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show.
