Dr. Valerie Parker is an educator, administrator, parent and wife, and serves as the Education Committee Chair for the Howard County Branch of the NAACP. She’s a self-proclaimed “fierce advocate for black boys everywhere,” and her research focuses on teacher perception of behavior that leads to student misconstruction. Dr. Parker firmly believes that changes in our perception can help address much larger, systemic issues: particularly the school to prison pipeline.
Essential Takeaways:
• Changes in perception can positively address and affect systemic problems.
• Self-regulation and building relationships with black youth isn’t optional, it’s crucial.

See, Guide, Trust
In this episode, Dr. Bailey is joined by Chazz “Mr. Chazz” Lewis, a former Montessori teacher turned educational specialist with a fast-growing presence on social media. Mr. Chazz applies his brand of charisma, humor and insight to important topics in both education and parenting. His philosophy closely align with Conscious Discipline, which led to Mr. Chazz attending and presenting a keynote at a 2021 Conscious Discipline Institute.
Dr. Bailey and Mr. Chazz discuss their similar viewpoints on parenting and education, including Mr. Chazz’s vision to help adults “See, Guide, and Trust” children. Mr. Chazz also shares the inspiration behind his work, including a truly impactful educator in his life. Plus, he offers inspirational takeaways like, “Don’t be a perfectionist; be an ‘improvenist.’”
Essential Takeaways
• Mr. Chazz’s career in education began as a Montessori teacher. As his skills grew, other teachers began asking him for suggestions, ideas, and advice. He realized that he could make an even greater impact by supporting teachers, so he became an educational specialist.
• During the pandemic, Mr. Chazz saw the challenges families and parents were facing, so he turned to social media to offer his support. Today, he has more than 150,000 followers on multiple platforms.
• Mr. Chazz describes his vision for the world in three words: “See, Guide, and Trust.” He wants to empower adults to truly see children, more effectively guide them, and trust that children are doing the best they can with the skills they have in the moment.
• “Don’t be a perfectionist; be an ‘improvenist’,” is Mr. Chazz’s most important piece of advice. Perfectionism often becomes the anchor of our progress. Focus instead on improving each day, living authentically, and embracing mistakes as opportunities to learn. When we become improvenists, we teach children the same mindset through modeling and direct interactions.
