In 1966 Lavie joined the staff of Hamidrasha Art Teachers College in Ramat Hasharon, known as "Hamidrasha School of Art." Around this educational institution a group of Lavie's students, such as Michal Na'aman, Yehudit Levin, etc., grew up and began teaching there.
A great many academic areas at Hamidrasha were subordinated to this pedagogic approach.
