Today, we proudly present Part 1 of our conversation with Aleta Margolis, the Founder and President of Center for Inspired Teaching, a non-profit that helps teachers redesign their roles in the classroom and transform the learning experience through improvisation-based professional development.
Center for Inspired Teaching has spent 3 decades investing in teachers as agents of change. Instead of merely delivering a curriculum, teachers who embrace the Inspired approach to education are instigators of thought, fueling their students curiosity and innate desire to learn.
Aleta is a former elementary and middle school teacher for court-involved youth and a professor of education at American University. She is the creator of the award-winning Hooray for Monday article series and teaching tool and is an Ashoka Fellow committed to investing in teachers.
