Leonard: "If you had one word that would describe not just you, but your purpose in life as far as you understand it right now…and you had to get it tattooed on you…what would that word be and why?" Elisia: "Grace. Why? You have to give yourself grace. I tend to be hard on myself, and have to remind myself to give myself grace. I'm learning as I go.” Join The Black Scholars Podcast and Elisia Wright (@thatswright) as we discuss how the pandemic has impacted K-12 education. Ms. Wright is a skilled elementary school teacher living in Miami, Florida. She's a Florida A&M University graduate.   The Black Scholars Podcast has a new Instagram page (@theblackscholarspodcast).

"Have some compassion for yourself...do what you enjoy...do what you have to do, but make some time to do what you enjoy..." — Dr. Kanesha L. Moore For the first time on the show, we have an educator and a scholar who isn't in the K-12 “hamster wheel.” Dr. Kanesha L. Moore, from Memphis, Tennessee, is a psychologist at a large public university in Texas. The Spelman College alumna has been teaching since 2012. We discuss how we have been impacted by Covid-19, the importance of mental health, self-care, etc. More importantly, we discuss how college students and professors have been impacted by the global pandemic and how we educators can bounce back despite the pandemic.   The Black Scholars Podcast has a new Instagram page (@theblackscholarspodcast).

America to Me is a Starz docu-series. There are approximately 10 episodes that highlight Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb outside of Chicago. This episode is the final installment of the series. On episode 10, "America Will Be” of the America to Me series, I only focus on two issues: the importance of effective school leadership and why educators should only focus on what we can control. I've enjoyed watching and analyzing this documentary and look forward to future work from these filmmakers. I'll keep an attentive eye on the progress of Oak Park and River Forest High School and that community. After all, I am a product of the Midwest.   ————————————————— Join the show by leaving a voicemail message about the podcast or any of the content discussed on the podcast.

America to Me is a Starz docu-series. There are approximately 10 episodes that highlight Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb outside of Chicago. This episode is the ninth installment of the series. On episode 9, "The Invisible T-Shirt” of the America to Me series, I relate my experience attending small colleges in predominately-White towns to Kendale's college visit. I also analyze Tiara's academic struggles and a potential solution. Terrence goes to court with his mother regarding guardianship, and Ms. Stovall's Woven program is met with resistance from administration, again. Lastly, I discuss the question, "Why aren't there more Black and Brown educators?" It's not an easy answer.   The next series will focus on my book, Becoming an Effective Black Educator, available via paperback or e-Book. I'm excited to discuss this content in details as it directly relates to our current conundrums in education and within our own careers. I want everyone to be successful, and I plan on giving away a few copies during this series. ————————————————— Join the show by leaving a voicemail message about the podcast or any of the content discussed on the podcast.

Continuing the How the Pandemic Impacts K-12 Education series, I am joined by the lovely Stacey Malone, a 5th Grade Science and Social Studies teacher who may be transitioning to teach and coach at the high school level next school year.

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. ————————————————— Shop Black Scholars Clothing™ with promo code SCHOLARS for 20 percent off.

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.  ————————————————— Shop Black Scholars Clothing™ with promo code SCHOLARS for 20 percent off.

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.  ————————————————— Shop Black Scholars Clothing™ with promo code SCHOLARS for 20 percent off.
