Parent-Teacher Conference: Conversations on parenting teens and adolescents.

The value of the creative arts in education: thoughts on mentorship, socio-emotional learning loss, and helping teens find their voices and take responsibility for their lives


Listen Later

Theatre arts educator Dr. Jim DeVivo stops by for a wide-ranging discussion about the value of the creative arts in education, mentorship, encouraging creativity, helping kids find their voices, dealing with pandemic-era, social-emotional learning loss, and an article in The New York Times that says theatre kids run the world.

During this podcast, we discuss ways that the creative arts help children develop as individuals and enhance their ability to more fully be themselves in every context and in every place.

Show notes:

Grown-Up Theater Kids Run the World: A Supreme Court justice. The governor of New Jersey. Senator Ted Cruz. A prominent MSNBC host. Practically half the tech world. What’s behind this moment of thespian power?
