  • Episode 54 / Compensation and Salary

    Hi there everyone, today’s episode is with Principal Sanon.

    In this episode we talk about compensation, salary and how to negotiate. This is a dope conversation that frankly I wish I had heard when I first started teaching. Knowing your worth is one thing but knowing HOW to advocate for yourself is another. I normally would break this conversation into at least 2 parts however I’ve received feedback that as the year comes to an end and conversation regarding contracts that this is a conversation that some of y'all are going to want uninterrupted. So here it is.

    As always THANK YOU for the support I greatly appreciate it. I also appreciate those of you who have left a review of even a few words on apple podcasts. If you haven’t I would like to take this moment and ask this of you now, please head over and drop a few nice words because it helps get this podcast out. With that being said, thanks for tuning in to this episode of The Chronicles of Mister.

  • Episode 53 / Niki Reid

    Hey there everyone and welcome to another episode of the chronicles of mister. In this episode I chop it up once again with Principal Niki Reid. I love Niki's energy and it’s always a joy. In this episode we talk about several things but the idea and belief that “every child is 1 positive adult away” from being on a path towards their greatest potential is one that resonated deeply with me. I’d venture to say that we’ve all had not so great teachers , however I’d venture to guess that we’ve had at least one adult who saw or recognized potential in us. All kiddos need an adult in their corner who sees what is unseen to the child and lights a sparks that leads to that achievement down the road.

    Are you a spark? Could you be?

    This conversation is a great one and this pod is part 3 of 3.


    Niki has a book that you can get off of Amazon -->  it's entitled Now We Write Book

  • Episode 50 / Jonah Craggett (Part 3)

    Hi everyone and welcome to the Chronicles of Mister. Today’s podcast is with Jonah Craggett. I had the honor of working with Jonah at a charter school in New Haven Connecticut where we were the only Black male teachers in the middle school. We were hired due to a cohort of kiddos who were labeled as “too much” for the other middle school teachers.

    However, what myself and Mr. Craggett came to see was that that group of kiddos just needed to be validated and seen, which is what we did. We were able to liberate the “too much” kids with love as the great Maya Angelou eloquently put it. In this conversation. Mr. Craggett and I talk about validation, authenticity and unlearning certain practices.

    This conversation is a good one and this pod is part 3 of 3.

    Here at the Chronicles of Mister we appreciate feedback and we would love to hear what you think of the conversations we've had.

    What would you like to hear more of?

    What are topics that should be further discussed?

  • Episode 45 / Marcus G. Flye
    Hey there everyone,
    This week’s guest is not only an actor, producer, director, and writer… but he’s also a high school math teacher! Mr. Marcus G Flye. He also comes from a very interesting background - like his father worked on the first space shuttle, nbd. 
    In this interview we touch on so many amazing topics: showing your students real world application, using shock and awe to engage them, and remembering the power we hold as educators - we’re one person that can make a lasting impression on many for good or evil, so we need to remember to be the educators we needed. The educators or students deserve. 
    And as always, we remember to think about and do the things that bring us joy. So hit play and I hope you guys enjoy.
