I’ll Be There for You: 8 Lessons Teachers Can learn from FRIENDS.

January 13, 2026
EXPO: IMMERSIVE THEATER: BOOTH #2245
Classroom Leaders
Could your teaching life BE any more relatable? In this laugh-and-learn session, we’ll channel our inner Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey, and Rachel to uncover 8 timeless lessons from the iconic sitcom each with a classroom twist. From “PIVOT!” moments in lesson planning to “How you doin’?” relationship-building, and even turning those inevitable Smelly Cat days into creative wins. You’ll leave with practical strategies, pop culture pep, and the reminder that, just like the FRIENDS, you are not teaching alone.
