Every Child Needs a Champion
Ted Talk by the late, great Rita Pierson
James Comer: "No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship."
Kids don't learn from people they don't like.
Human connection is key.
Teacher: "You were chosen to be in my class!"
Student: "You made me feel like I was somebody."
Teaching and learning should bring joy.
Every child deserves an adult who will never give up on them.
This job is tough but we can do it. We're educators and we were born to make a difference.
