Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE a good TED Talk. As an instructional coach and school administrator, I used them regularly in my Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to inspire and spark dialogue. In fact, one of my goals in life is to present a TED Talk!
I came across this particular TED Talk this morning, as I was doing research for some professional development content I’m creating. The presenter is Dr. Meredith Fox, a long-time public educator and current deputy superintendent in New York State. The personal experience she brings to her talk is both inspiring and eye-opening, making it a must-see for educators. Do yourself a favor and take 15 minutes out of your day to watch it here.
After you watch it, I hope you’ll ask yourself, “Have I created a space where my students can unload their backpack?”
