Episode 18—A Nontraditional Model to Teaching Excellence with Candous Brown

I first discovered Candous Brown, a 11-year-veteran, via Facebook. She was featured on the Chalkbeat Tennessee, an educational news publication. After reading the feature, I immediately reached out to Candous via Facebook, and I am glad that I did. Here are a few takeaways from this interview: 1) Candous is an effective educator, because she thinks outside of the box. 2) Candous is a graduate of Christian Brothers University (I was just accepted into Christian Brothers’s Educational Leadership program), so we are fellow Buccaneers. 3) Candous, similar to myself, did not begin her teaching career through a traditional TEP. 4) Candous is a reflective educator—a key to instructional effectiveness.

Episode 9—Individualized Learning with Ebony Eggleston

The current, stereotypical paradigm of sitting students in rows and lecturing them to death will not work. It's time, regardless of what worked for you in the past, that we change things. If education is about the kids, then our teaching practices should reflect that. Don't go into the new school year with the same tired pedagogy and best practices. Listen as Ebony Eggleston, a high school science teacher, joins the show to share her individualized learning strategies that increase student achievement.

Episode 8—Teaching at the School from Hell with Stacie McClaim

Imagine going to work every single day and hating it. Imagine going into a school building everyday where kids steal from adults and record fights. Imagine teaching at a school where there is little to no control over the student population. That's what Stacie McClam shares with the Black Scholars community on episode 8. This episode is certainly one of the most entertaining ones. Enjoy.
