Know Your Worth

“I know what my passion is. I know where I need to be.” Assistant Principal, Social Science/History Teacher [email protected] "Teaching and school can be something a bit different than what we are used to seeing." In this enlightening podcast episode, we had the pleasure of conversing with Mr. Kendal Davis, an Assistant Principal with a background in Social Science/History. Kendal's journey began in a small Louisiana town where he endured a K-12 experience marked by challenges, including years without math or English teachers. However, these hurdles only fueled his determination to pursue knowledge and make a difference. His educational path led him through two HBCUs, following initial studies at a PWI. His perspective on education was forever changed by a Black history professor who ignited his passion and inspired him to choose a career in teaching.  "Know your worth." Kendal's wisdom extends beyond the classroom, emphasizing the vital importance of both curriculum and parental dynamics in education. He highlights the current disconnect where students often experience forced assimilation instead of being encouraged to embrace the rich diversity of American culture. Kendal Davis is not just an educator; he is a visionary who is able to bring joy and impact to the experience for his students. He offers insightful advice to educators on day one and has even launched his own tutoring business, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to transforming the world of learning. Kendal is open to collaborating with anyone interested in discussing education, reflecting his deep dedication to improving education for all. Join us in this enlightening episode as Mr. Kendal Davis shares his remarkable journey, creative approach to engagement (#shoutout to the intramural program!), and his unyielding dedication to making a positive impact in education.
