Rita Pierson, a teacher for 40 years, once heard a colleague say, “They don’t pay me to like the kids.” Her response: “Kids don’t learn from people they don’t like.'” This TED Talk is a rousing call to educators to believe in their students; to actually connect with them on a real, human, personal level. Connection: the most important and valuable component of any successful communication.
