EPISODE FIFTY

AGENT AVIVA LEVIN (IMPROV)

RECORDING FROM THE COMPASSIONATE EDUCATORS SHOW

 Your lesson, should you choose to accept it, is to engage and motivate your students through improv.  The special agent assigned to help you with this task is French and Social Studies teacher, as well as podcast mission coordinator, Aviva Levin.

This interview was originally recorded for The Compassionate Educators Show. This week Marie, host of Compassionate Educators, is doing something similar, as she’s airing Aviva’s interview of her as one of her own episodes.

In this episode, Marie and Aviva discuss:

1️⃣ Aviva’s journey to finding improv and creating a place for it in her French and Social Studies classes

2️⃣ How improv allows students to engage with the subject matter, self-differentiate, be their own representative resources, and practice a growth mindset

3️⃣ Being willing to hand over control to students’ imaginations
