The Sneaker Principal Podcast LIVE #52... A weekly episodic podcast talking about education and culture. Tonight I will touch a bit on the short selling and the short squeeze Gamestop stock and why this only further proves the disenfranchisement  of Black and Brown communities from financial markets due to a lack of financial education in schools.

In this 50th episode of The Principal Podcast, I present to you a conversation with David C. Banks, the President/CEO of The Eagle Academy Foundation, He was the Founding Principal of The Eagle Academy for Young Men, the first school in a network of innovative all-boys public schools in New York City. The mission of The Eagle Academy for Young Men is to respond to what David Banks calls the crisis impacting primarily Black and Brown boys in New York City. He is quoted as saying, "With the low graduation rate, so many of these young men get in trouble, wind up populating the criminal justice system and we wanted to show, through our work, that it didn't have to be that way," Eagle Academies high school graduation rate is 87% versus the 59% national average for young men of color and 98% of their scholars were accepted to college.  

Join me in this opportunity to dialogue and learn from a man that is impacting the lives of so many young men and leaders in both New York City and across America.

How will our children be educated moving forward in the wake of Black Lives Matter, Trump's Attack on America and the unmasking of the institutional racism has been our reality for as long as we have existed. In this episode of The Sneaker Principal Podcast I will be discussing the possible paths that may be taken to move forward deconstructing and rebuilding culturally inclusive education for all children and all of society.

There is so much talk about how learning pods are creating a greater divide in inequity, but I see an opportunity to for the closing of the achievement gap. This is a live and recorded conversation on how alternative educational models, such as learning pods, also called pandemic pods, micro-schools or nano-schools (learning communities of typically three to 10 students) can enhance black and brown students’ learning and performance to not only bridge but close the achievement gap.

(This was streamed  live on December 5, 2020)

As a school leader I have struggled with managing my stress through this pandemic. Beyond my primary responsibility to my wife and children, I am on a 24 hour alert for school community as well. There has been so much loss and even more close calls. This compounded with the continuous daily uncertainties and working to provide the best possible product of an education to every single child in our school, it is getting often to catch a breath.

 In this episode of The Sneaker Principal Podcast, I ask you to join me as I am guided through mindfulness practices with Dave Beal, Program Director and  Head National Trainer for Brain Power Wellness. The goal of this experience provide you with tools to aid in achieving a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment. This needed in these high stress times.

Originally aired on Saturday, November 28, 2020 - A conversation with return guest, Marko Majic. We explore how education is transforming as we engage in remote learning during the COVID19 pandemic. What will schools look like in the near future? What will be the transformation teachers as they learn how to navigate instruction as they now directly compete for the attention of our children? Are teachers becoming content creators and social media influencers?
