@@glennwatson3313 While you won't list "felt happy in third grade" on your resume, the emotions and experiences from that time play a pivotal role in shaping the person you become. They influence your ability to learn, develop essential skills, and succeed in both personal and professional realms. Therefore, paying attention to how students feel at every stage of their education is crucial for their long-term success.
@@glennwatson3313 I agree that learning is not all about what kids 'feel' like doing however, research is now telling us that learning is not just cognition. Emotions are inherently linked to and influence cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive function, decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving and regulation, all of which play a key role in learning.
@@movewithheart The sort of emotions you are referring to come from a variety of sources, not just the teacher. Of course this is also true about the subject matter. A student can get facts and understandings from a variety of sources like books, RUclips and each other. I have been a student and I have been a teacher. As a student, if I had to chose between a teacher who knew the material and a teacher who cared about me the choice would be easy. Of course it would be great to have teachers who are both caring and knowledgeable. Some teachers do have both qualities in abundance, but that is rare. My larger point is that the search for caring teachers is displacing the search for expertise in subject matter. I have a masters in history but for much of my career I have been asked to teach subjects like economics, government, debate and recently geography. My level of caring has not changed but it takes a lot of time and work to learn these new subjects well enough to teach them at a high level. Without that work all the caring in the world won't really help my students.
@@teachwithyourheart I agree that how students feel is important. But what students learn is more important, especially from the perspective of teachers who job it is too teach. The amount of time teachers have with students is finite. Spending more time on feelings means less time on knowledge acquisition. We can't have everything. While the wealthy and middle class might get away with letting their kid's teachers spend more time on feelings this is not true for students living in poverty. In order to grow out of poverty these students need smarter teachers far more than they need caring teachers. Of course it goes without saying it would be nice to have both but like I said, we can't have everything.
I really appreciate this TED Talk. I have had several students over my teaching career tell me that I am like a mother, or at least an older sister/aunt, to them. I find that it is so important to show them that you love each of them and care about their academic success, yes, but more importantly, their personal success. This was a great video!
Excellent talk! Now, here's some food for thought - as a teacher, have you noticed how lack of sleep affects your students? But how about your sleep? Quality sleep is what gives us teachers that energy that helps us to multiply that transformational power of education.
Wonderful TED talk and very sound advice! I worked 37 years as a National Laboratory Scientist measuring Nuclear Weapons and developing novel ionizing radiation detectors for hospitals, medical cancer therapy, and National Security. After retirement I was dissatisfied staying at home doing nothing, and a Science job became available at a Christian high school and I decided to give it a try. The first year was terrifying and quite HORRIBLE!! By the second year I started catching on to what it took to become a good teacher! By the third year I began feeling good about my lesson plans and delivering a good classroom experience. By the 4th year I started loveing the students and the families that sent them to me, and I began to make it a goal to invest all I had in uplifting each and every student as best as I could. Every student, even the challenging ones, help to mold you as a teacher and you work against each other improveing each student as they improve you! Its a beautiful process and bring your passion for your subject to the classroom and your love of learnimg and your students will love learning with you!
What kind of teacher? A kind teacher. Love is the answer. What is the question? Education Revolution? Focus on the single most important lesson in life? Learn unconditional love for all life? A simple method: Sing *HU* daily. Search how and why to sing *HU* .
In my pathetic state they are making it easier to be a teacher. Those who are experts in their field (but have no teaching background) are trying to become teachers. Nowadays all they essentially need to do is take a content test. This is of major concern to me because many of them will have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Those people I have noticed don't last long in education for just that reason......they'd never been around kids and may have thought teaching would be easier than whatever they were doing. I am a Chemistry teacher and will be teaching AP Chemistry in the future. Believe me, I intend to do everything I possibly can to make sure those who take the class earn college credit. However, if they were to forget everything after high school, but still saw me as I caring person who works well with kids, or stayed in touch with me because we formed such a great bond, I guess that means more to me.
Does being a teacher limit you from exercising full potential? Does it limit your dreams to a classroom or lecture hall? How can I stop being reluctant about this career?
@@nicolec1598 I have been teaching for almost thirty years. Believe me when I say that SOME teachers are experts but its not because of the specialized training. The truth his the quality of teachers has been going down for years. ACT scores for teachers are the lowest among the professions. The teaching profession rarely gets the best women anymore due to increased opportunities for women in the economy. Education rarely ever got the best men. All you have to do to become a teacher is get a four year degree and a teacher certification. The certification is a joke. The degree might or might not be useful. But no matter what, the teacher is going to learn how to teach on the job. It will take years to be good. Expert level might never come. If we want better teachers we will have to provide them with free quality education after they are hired.
A teacher who can't love his students and inspire in them a love for learning is nothing more than a robot dishing out facts. The teachers who loved me and showed me compassion are the ones who left an imprint in my being. The ones you prefer.....I cannot even remember their names 30+ years later. Some experts they were!!!!

A quote this reminds me of is: “Your children may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel”
The problem is you can't get a job based on how you felt in third grade.

The explanation from "Gregory Chahrozian" about the pivotal role a teacher can play in a student's life was truly impressive.
Your teaching style is truly one of a kind!
I appreciate your passion for teaching, it shows!

I don't really want to assign teachers the job of teaching love or revolution.
Why u don't promote love ?

Your teaching style is so effective!
Highly appreciated
You have a knack for teaching!
I really like the this video. Very inspirational.
I cried listening to this
Me too
You have such a great teaching style!
This was incredible. Thank you so much for this sir.
I loved this very inspirational video!
I liked the advice to the student in the end🥹
Yes this is so true. So many people do teaching bcz they think they know something. But it's not actually no the case
Does being a teacher limit you from exercising full potential? Does it limit your dreams to a classroom or lecture hall? How can I stop being reluctant about this career?
It’s by realizing it’s not about you
Brillant.. nothing less
Let's always do alot of good ❤️
Well said and presented
❤❤❤❤
🙏
An engagement
I think I would rather have a teacher who was an expert in his field rather than a teacher who loves me.
And as a child? what would you choose?
@@pontuslidberg9434 As a parent I would rather have a teacher who was an expert. We don't let kids run the school so what they want is irrelevant.
@@glennwatson3313All teachers are experts. They go through specialized training to become teachers.
