In episode 153 of Relate, we speak with Rose Burnett Bonczek and Mike Flanagan, who both just co-authored the book All The Classroom's A Stage. We talk about the value of applying theater skills to the classroom as a means to engage deeper with students, how theater skills are human skills, why we must collaborate to build more meaningful relationships, and why teachers must prioritize self-care. For any of you teachers tuning in, this is the episode for you!
