In this episode of The Chronicles of Mister, I get to chop it up with Principal Michelle Thomas.

Principal Thomas has been in the education field for 39 years, starting out as a secretary and then going back to school to get her teaching credentials. She began as a first-grade teacher, a tough grade to teach in Texas because children there don't have to go to pre-k or kindergarten, meaning they often come in with no knowledge of basic concepts. However, Principal Thomas found joy in watching her students grow and learn throughout the year.

Principal Thomas emphasizes the importance of structure, love, and support for her students, especially since her school is a Title 1 school. She believes that her students need someone to show them that they can do hard things and that they are cared for, which is often lacking.

Principal Thomas has stayed in education for so long because of her love for her students and the knowledge that she is making a positive impact on their lives.

This was a great conversation that I hope you are able to glean a few gems from.

Hey There Everyone,

I'm so pleased to have had this conversation with Dr. McCray who is the Director of Leadership Development for Henry County Schools. Dr. McCray shared several gems and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about this conversation.  .

Please welcome the one, the only, Ms. Kaya Arnoux back to the pod!! Kaya is a former colleague of mine who has transitioned from teaching middle school kiddos to highschool kiddos. Like others in her situation she explains how this transition isn’t better or worse, just different.

In this convo we get into the nitty gritty of the age-old debate: Is the current education system properly equipping our high school students to live the adult lives they want to live??! Or are we funneling them into the big ole “everyone must go to college” machine to make our numbers look good?

Why don’t we properly prepare those students who know EXACTLY what they want to do, and that they DO NOT want to go to college/university? Do they get proper guidance into certificate programs or training to be taken while in high school?

We also get into how minorities need to be able to decide for themselves whether or not they are safe (mentally and physically) in PWI spaces, or if they need to remove themselves. One option isn’t better than the other, and we need to give people autonomy to make their own life choices.

Hey there everyone,

Really appreciated the gems dropped during this conversation with dance teacher JAI WILLIAMS.

Dance is dope and more movement needs to be incorporated into the classroom.

Hey There Everyone,

As this season of the podcast and this academic year comes to an end I wanted to say Thanks to each of you the listeners and Thanks to the guests who I was able to chop it up with this season.

As the summer starts and we recharge I have an ask of you, could you fill out this Google Form that should take no more than at most 3 minutes, it would help me out enormously as I prepare for season 3.

Thanks so much for tuning in.

Hey There Everyone,

In this week's episode of the podcast I get to chop it up with Dr. Rebecca Good, National Vice Provost of Teacher Preparation at Relay GSE. Get ready for some profound insights into the world of education. 

My perspective, as one of the 1.3% black male educators, on the significance of authentic teaching, cultural understanding, and empowering students helps me be the best educator I can be. 

By prioritizing authenticity, transparency, and nurturing student potential, teachers can create an environment where students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

As educators, let's strive to be authentic, transparent, and supportive mentors for our kiddos. By fostering genuine connections, we can empower our kiddos to unlock their full potential and become lifelong learners and leaders.
