“Teachers wanted to teach this way but their hands are tied”
Exactly the situation I am in.
We really need a revolution in education.

From someone that is passioned about many topics and wants to learn the best way to aproach new students (I hope to become a professor), this is exactly what I needed to listen to. Incredible speech.

[pierrelalonde]

Good video, she has experience and great recommendations. How to teach the better way and not to folllow the curriculum step by step. Have the right approach with students will go a long way. Mind you I have met students who were simply not interested. I am a French tutor.

This is one of the best Ted lecture I've heard. Thank you from Israel

A wonderful teacher, kind and respectful, and your words are very beautiful. May God bless you. If they used this method with us in schools, we would be good and we love studying. In my country, a failed study, and a teacher beats the child and also scolds him with bad words. He leaves school. The child is the reason for this method. Until Jed thinks about the reason for the aggressive style with a teacher and his student, and he has pressure from his family, his teacher, and the child’s teacher. What should he do?

Great and valuable information, Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you Ma'am. I am currently teach as student-teacher. In my experience, students raise their hand nonstop if the question or activity is all about expressing themselves. for example: describe yourself in oneword, what song describe your feelings at this moment. if you going to learned musical instrument what instrument would you select?

Someone start a new campaign: Freitag for State Superintendent of Schools! Federal for that matter! (if we want such positions...)

[carlenedean]

I’ve railed for many years— since my son was in grade school— about the constant testing and what people call “teaching to the test.” I firmly believe that the rigid standards may be a serious detriment to creative learning and ruin spontaneous teachable moments
