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.

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.

Why do excellent classroom teachers feel pressured to obtain an administrator's position? Is it simply the money? Is it the perception of power? What drives good educators out of the classroom? Joined by the very intelligent Chelsie Griffin, a Ph.D. student and 5th grade teacher in Louisiana, we discuss the value of Black educators remaining in the classroom and why excellent educators should avoid the pressure to leave the classroom.

Think about it. Why don't we talk about the importance of race in education? Why are a majority of our Black students taught by educators who either don't look like them or can't truly relate to them? There's a special trust between Black educators and Black students. Our schools deserve consistency. Our schools deserve Black voices and Black representation. Joined by the intelligent and beautiful Sonia B. Scott, a Math teacher in New Orleans, we discuss why Black educators matter more now than ever before.

Classroom management is perhaps one of the most difficult things to master yet with a few simple steps it can be drastically improved. In order for our kids to geniunely learn and grow, the classroom has to be managed well from rules, produces, dismissal, transitions, etc. Also, it's about the culture. What kind of culture is conveyed when visitors enter your classroom? Is it student-centered? Is it a dictatorship? On this episode, the nomadic yet brilliant William Visher of Visher Ink discusses the importance of classroom management, shares applicable anectdotes from his classroom to our ears, and advocates for a better relationship between Black colleagues. This episode is jampacked with valuable, raw, and honest information that all Black scholars can relate to.
