The Teacher's Forum

Welcome to "The Teacher's Forum" hosted by David Harris, a veteran educator with 30 years of experience in private, public, and charter schools. This podcast is your platform to hear the voices of educators from the United States and around the world, with a special focus on educators of color, who are often overlooked in crucial education discussions today. Join us as we dive into important topics, and experiences of K-12 educators, and get a chance to hear from David’s former students, as they share their stories, insights, and experiences. Be sure to tune in and let's celebrate the dedication and excellence of educators together!

Michael Manson

Michael Manson is an acclaimed bassist, composer, producer, and educator. He’s the co-founder and Executive Director of the Musical Arts Institute in Chicago, a nonprofit providing high-quality music education to underserved youth. Michael has released multiple Billboard Top 10 jazz recordings and is also the CEO of Manson Music Productions. In full disclosure for our listeners, Michael is my first cousin — our mothers were sisters, and he and I grew up just a mile apart in Harvey, Illinois. I remember Michael’s musical talent stood out.
