It's used in some classroom exercises, it's used as practice by some acting students.It was used in gifted ed in High School when I was in it as a way of displaying knowledge in a non-academician mode by discussing it in character.It's also been used a lot in both DARE and the district's anti-bullying curriculum in the Anchorage School District.'Many a social studies teacher has used improv to get students thinking as the people studied.I don't generally enjoy doing improv, and while I can do the improv style of play, I find it offputting.  Most especially since improv mode often turns longwinded; I'd rather just get the précis and assign a roll, thank-you.</blockquote>
