Here at The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast, discover you're not alone as a creative English teacher. You're part of a vast community welcoming students to their next escape room, rolling out contemporary poetry and reading aloud on First Chapter Fridays, engaging kids with social media projects and real-world ELA units. As your host (hi, I'm Betsy), I'm here to help you ENJOY your days at school and feel inspired by all the creative ways to teach both contemporary works and the classics your school may be pushing. I taught ELA at the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade levels both in the United States and overseas for almost a decade, and I didn't always get support for my creativity. Now I'm here to make sure YOU get the creative support you deserve, and it brings me so much joy. Welcome to The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast, a podcast for English teachers in search of creative teaching strategies!

Happy Birthday, Betsy! I absolutely love all of the teaching ideas you so generously share on your podcast/blog. The guests you invite to interview also share some very inspiring ideas. I wish I had more time to implement more of them. I’ve shared a link to The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast with all of my ELA friends. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into helping us teach our students to become better readers and writers.
