Every kid needs a champion - An Outstanding teacher - Rita Pierson (for adults and children)

Kids don't learn from people they don't like...

https://www.ted.com/talks/rita_pierson_every_kid_needs_a_champion#t-131949

"You were chosen to be in my class.

I was chosen to be your teacher.

You know why?

Because I'm the best teacher and you're the best students...That's why they put us all together.

Really?

Yes... So that we could show everybody else how to do it!

(...) Just remember: " - I am somebody! I was somebody when I came in..I'd be a better somebody when I leave"

Teaching and learning should bring joy.

We are educators. We were born to make a difference. "

Rita Pierson " Ideas worth spreading"
