In this #coachbetter episode, we have a very special guest, Firoozeh Dumas, author of two New York Times Bestsellers that you may have in your classroom or school right now, including “Funny in Farsi”! Kim was honored to be a keynote speaker with Firoozeh for the ECIS Leadership conference (Educational Collaborative for International Schools) this past spring, and because of that connection they started chatting about the ways that we can bring creativity and joy into the classroom through literature. In this episode, Firoozeh shares the ways that educators can use humor in literature to provoke conversation, engagement & enthusiasm about writing and reading. For educators who are ready to embrace their own creativity & to inspire creativity in their students, this episode provides lots of ideas and strategies to bring to your classroom this year!
