Season | Episode
Endlessly creative, Betsy Potash is a teacher like no other who is moulding the next generation of creative teachers.
You probably remember your favourite teacher. If that’s the case, chances are they’re the one who gave you creative freedom and let you express yourself. It could’ve been art, stories, songs; whatever it took to get you feeling inspired, they did it.
For many, that teacher will have been our next guest, Betsy Potash. American, but now based in Budapest, Betsy’s approach to teaching is utterly, unstoppably creative, and she’s given a generation of teachers amazing ideas through her website and podcast, Spark Creativity. The section where Betsy tells us how exactly she got into content creation is utterly staggering.
Betsy Potash has taught English at every high school grade level – regular, honours and I.B. Now, she channels her experience and love for education into making the way easier for creative teachers. Betsy runs a blog, podcast and curriculum membership, The Lighthouse, and stirs up creative social media from her home in Bratislava, where she lives with her husband, two kiddos, and little cat, Phoenix.
She can be found with her laptop in a Slovak coffee shop, rollerblading (yes, it's still a sport!), or spending time in Budapest or Prague with her family.
