Our kids need Champions!
This clip is such a boomer cracker!!! I left the classroom at the end of 2011 and now I want to go back.
Many of our teachers leave the profession and move on...still in education but out of the classroom.
Our kids need Champions who care!!!

Love it. Teachers talking with passion about their teaching with humour and soul.
Can't beat it!

Great talk which i've shared with my schools and my daughter is sharing it with the Early childhood centres she works with. just love her passion, too when she was repositioning the kids' thinnking -
"I am somebody.
I was somebody when i came out.
I'll be a better somebody when I leave.
I am powerful and I am strong.
I deserve the education that I get here.
I have things to do, people to impress and places to go"
- and the kids said - YEAH!

Faafetai lava Moana, what an awesome TED video. Its all about RELATIONSHIPS and I believe that we need to get this right (for some teachers that is). Thank you for sharing. "We are born to make a difference as educators".

Talofa lava Eugene,
That was awesome and it was nice to see familiar faces and smiley faces of the young Pasifika girls. Thank you for the youtube clip.

Great post Moana. You can all the great design, but with out relationships, great relationships, learning has no legs or wheels.
