"Here are five of the ‘classic’ TED talks we think every teacher should watch and share with students, or better yet, watch together in class and engage students in constructive discussion around their themes. The speakers are leading thinkers in their fields and the themes covered include motivation (Dan Pink), leadership (Simon Sinek), grit ( Angela Duckworth), education death valley (Sir Ken Robinson), and belief in students potential (Rita Pierson). "

After years of testing out various talks in the classroom, I finally found a few that always go over well with my high school students. Of course, it has a lot to do with the talks being funny. Who doesn’t like to laugh? But there’s also a deeper meaning and positive message with each that resonates with the students. There is no particular order to this list. They each are awesome in their own right.

Feel like you can’t recover from a major setback? Let these talks remind you that this is not the end -- there is much more left to your story.
