An Inspiration

 
    The one thing that I love about teaching is the constant learning I do as I interact with my students.  I learn from their explorations and their interests.  By listening to them and watching how they learn, I learn to be a better teacher.  As teachers, we need to spend more time listening to our students and allow them to lead, it just might take us to unexpected places.  I came across this TED talk by 13 year old Logan LaPlante.  This is a remarkable talk by a remarkable young man who has been allowed to have his own voice in the world, and we as educators need to take a moment to listen.   I would love to know what you think about his thoughts on education.  Do you, as an educator, intentionally teach your students how to be happy?.  TED talk by Logan LaPlante
