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.

Mr. Clarke Think-Aloud #1 | Innovative Roles, FOMO & Stories From the Trenches
Hello friends, I am trying out a new segment of the podcast here where I do a solo episode to share some thoughts, tips I have learned, stories from school and my new gig, and share some nerdy stuff eventually as well. On this episode I discuss what I am learning in my new Academic Support Teacher role, what I have been doing in the role so far and what I am aiming for it to become, the story of finding the first mouse in my house, the weirdness of being someone's neighbor, an embarrassing bank story, how being a beginner again is much more difficult than I anticipated, my awesome new nicknames, some new content ideas I have for the podcast, FOMO from my old school, finding new questions for education, and, a new segment called "Ideas That Don't Suck" where I share a cool idea about Community Circles for student mental health which I learned from an awesome teacher at my new school. Hope you enjoy!
