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.

Discussion about this podcast

Creativists in Dialogue
Creativists in Dialogue Podcast
Welcome to Creativists in Dialogue, a podcast embracing the creative life, with your hosts Elizabeth Bruce and Michael Oliver. In this weekly podcast, we interview people from all walks of life about the role that creativity plays in shaping who they are. We explore creativity at both the practical level, and the process level.
We also, on occasion, delve into the philosophical dimensions of creativity—that might have influenced a person’s life and work.
Importantly, not all the people we interview are “Artists”—though some are—but they all live their creativity every day in their fields of expertise, their relationships, and beyond.
In other words, we approach creativity as a vital force to a healthy life. Not only does it change the world but it changes who a person is and how they see themselves.
