To Think Hexagonally (with Betsy Potash) [S2 E46]

We are so thrilled today to bring you an interview today that brings together two worlds: Brave New Teaching and Spark Creativity!

Today we interview Betsy Potash: teacher, creator, mom, entrepreneur, influencer, and straight-up amazing human. Betsy specifically shares with all of us a new strategy to take into your classrooms TODAY: Hexagonal Thinking.

Check out the strategy here on Betsy’s Insta:

A close up example of using hexagonal thinking with All American Boys!

We love everything about this strategy and about connecting with Betsy. If you’re looking for ways to step up the creativity in your classroom and add another layer of professional development to your social media / self-designed journey toward becoming a stronger teacher, we couldn’t recommend Betsy’s work highly enough. Make sure you stop by Betsy’s Facebook group of over 17.000 teachers: Creative High School English.

We LOVE these templates she built to print and use dry erase markers on — so smart! Betsy’s work has also been featured on We Are Teachers and The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast with a really in depth walk through in using the strategy. Didn’t we tell you Betsy was incredible?!

As promised in the episode, we have a free download for you to use and get started with this strategy right away! We hope you enjoyed the episode. Be sure to give us a rating over on iTunes and a follow for Betsy over on Instagram!
