ED Talks
Teaching is powerful; our profession is noble. The daily work of teachers has the potential to change attitudes, change lives, and ultimately change the world. Yes, an extension of the mission of educators is to affect the lives of students. Children’s lives are touched through the connections made and relationships formed. This year’s ED Talks are again representative of educators from a cross-section of disciplines. These educators will speak from the heart amplifying the voices of teachers in our district by sharing stories that are purely personal yet common to the educator’s experience. ED Talks will again remind us why this is our profession of choice. Come listen to stories worth spreading.
