The Farewell!
Mr. Sunshine was a collection of stories from my first year of education. In this episode, I share a few experiences to provide insight. I created this project and the voices to mimic thoughts and actions I had during my first year. Yes, Rodrick Johnson is Mr. Sunshine, and I am pleased to have had the opportunity to share a portion of my story in a perfectly imperfect manner. A new story is emerging, however. Follow me to my new podcast titled "My Life Ain't Perfect," where I will recount the story more deeply to foster a better understanding for you. Thank you for listening, and I hope that what I have shared resonated with you significantly.

I got your restorative practices!
At first, Mr. Sunshine thought restorative practices were just another PD buzzword—soft, fluffy, and not meant for real classrooms with absolute chaos. But when candy bribes failed and behavior charts fell flat, a hallway meltdown opened the door to something more profound. In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Mr. Sunshine takes us back to the origin story of how he went from skeptical to sold on restorative justice. From PD eye rolls to magical circle moments, “I Got Your Restorative Practices!” chronicles the journey of learning to lead with empathy, build community, and trade incentives for impact. Whether you're a veteran teacher, new to the classroom, or somewhere in between, this one’s for anyone who's ever had to throw the sticker chart out the window and meet students where they are.
