    As the one who taught this class. I am a science teacher. What some seemed to miss is that I didn't only teach science. I also taught English and Grade 10 Christian Ethics. This was done in our Grade 10 Christian Ethics class. It had nothing to do with Science.

    Amazing story! Feeling very emotional after watching this video. I think I have learnt from you to trust students and make them as visible as the teacher. Thank you so much for sharing!

    In all of the classes I took in college were never taught by leading teachers in America except one. He started out his career as a janitor. The second person who encouraged me had been a high school dropout. The third person had founded one of the top schools in the world. It was because of those people that I developed what became the top program in CA in what I taught.

    Wow, what an amazing talk. I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. My school is in many respects curriculum based, this is because in my country there are many teachers that aren't very qualified. But I've found that the teachers make the biggest difference.

    What an amazing teacher and a group of amazing kids! It shows also that sometimes with exposition something which seems impossible to happen can actually do if it has a good cause, globalisation can bring about even bigger exposition with huge results.

    I believe that teachers should not stop learning and searching for a change. when the teacher changed her point view about teaching, she gives the students a chance to learn better and make a differance.

    Interesting concept.So much of this presentation resonated with me. Given the state of our educational system, beginning with pre-school and ending with PhD programs, it is worth trying a different model.
