71: Bringing Creativity to Learning with Batsheva Frankel

Batsheva Frankel worked in the film industry for many years but decided to leave it for a more meaningful career in education. Using her creativity, she taught in various school settings, and is now an educational consultant. Batsheva teaches professional development workshops and courses through New Lens Ed. She has a Masters of Arts in Teaching from The American Jewish University and a Bachelor’s Degree in drama from NYU which prepared her for creating a podcast called Overthrowing Education (available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google and other platforms). More recently, Batsheva has partnered with Dr. Sandra Lilienthal and Sari Kopitnikoff (you may listen to each of their interviews featured in previous episodes of our podcast) to create Dor L’Dor Delivery, a Jewish innovative approach to professional development and adult learning.
