"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all" -Aristole

After 40y of teaching and a lifelong love for Steinbeck it is here that I come across his quotes on teaching. Very touching. Thank you.

A crisp and sparkling talk. As an educator she holds seas of inspiration and emotions to link with students to guide and nurture the next generation as how to spend life in education and be productive member of society always. Thanks.

I'm not a teacher but after watching this video...I salute you teachers all around the world.

She truly is an inspiration and I'm so glad to have her as my teacher. She is brilliant, kind, absolutely strong, and has a wonderful sense of humor. Mrs. Lee is such a role model, and I hope that when I grow up, I can be just a little like her.

I'm 21 years old so I'm still called a trainee teacher and to be honest I was depressed that I'm gonna spend the rest of my life teaching. but after watching this energetic woman, damn I wanna be like her when I'm that old.

Outstanding testimony! Great teachers know that so much of teaching comes down to relationships. Students will always learn more from teachers with which they can identify personally and who are passionate about their subject matter. I love Lisa's (re)definition of the "common core," because she's right, education reforms will come and go, but great relationships will, and always have, fostered great learning.

I am fortunate to have come across this video. You revive my faith in humankind, the human spirit and the true role of a teacher. More power to you!

Hi Ms. Lee, I'm from the Philippines, and I'm a teacher in the making. I just want to thank you for that wonderful speech. You inspired me a lot to become a great teacher in the future. One year to go and I'm real teacher. Thank You. Thank You.!!:)

I just saw this! I'm so glad you're going to be a REAL teacher! Relationships will always be the foundation of education, regardless of where you are from. Enjoy every minute - it goes by so quickly!!! However, I still love it as much as I did Day 1. Good luck!

Great speech! He summarized the characteristics of an excellent teacher.

What a passionate teacher & what an enthusiastic audience! We most of the time don't see these together.

I'm glad you do as well! Other things will come and go; relationships will always be what matters.

oh my this is sooo true. i need to take this back to my classroom

I love this philosophy! This is why I became a virtual teacher -- the "heart," coupled with the "one-on-one" instruction, totally FULFILLS me! Any current or prospective online tutors out there?

I am sure your speech will help students or those who just finished be encouraged. They need to be valued, respected, and accepted and seen as who they are!!

This is excellent and I will use in a new teacher workshop as well as with my undergrad students who are interning in classrooms this semester! Thank you for this!!

I loved her spirit and enthusiasm!! I wish I had a similar teacher.

Great talk and inspirational! Well done TED again! I am going for PGCE course in Sept! Part time so 2 years but I cannot wait to become a teacher!

Hi Lisa, I'm 23 years old, and I am on my on-the-job teacher training year at the moment in a school in South London. I absolutely love the kids, but often feel swamped with data, paperwork and deadlines (both from school and for my teachers qualification) that at times when I find myself drowning I wonder if I made the right decision. Thanks for reminding me why I picked such an important job, and I know it will get easier with time and experience. Jenna

I'm about to start my senior year as an elementary education major, this is an amazing video. I couldn't see myself doing anything else.

I really enjoy watching these videos. they are inspiring and informative.

As a substitute teacher I don't get to have the daily impact that leads to deeper connections, but still hope that they get a little something extra from me when I'm there.

Te amo con todo mi corazón!!! BRAVO!!!!

I love teaching and u made me love it more ♥️ thank u

She's amazing!

This video was assigned to our class as a resource as we learned teacher persona. I absolutely loved this video and now I can’t get the song out of my head… G, double O, D, JOB … Good job… good job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Superb video. Thank you so much lisa lee mam for sharing.

can't wait to teach

Mike J >>> Me too. She was so real and honest. Created respect listening too. The beginning of the speech gave me a false impression though.

Outstanding👍🏻

the way i cried listening to this while making curry

Inspires all

Educative video

Does anyone know where I can find the transcript for this speech? I'm on my school's speech team and want to memorize and perform this piece for competition. It's such a powerful and witty speech, and I would love to present it next year at a tournament. Thanks!

that's right kids

Haha she's so funny. Love her

Good job

Does she have more videos?

👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕

You have to have "ganas" not my first time watching, but great talk

teaching is not teaching that's learning

very good mommy

i know her in real life

First !!!!

Flip off the projector 😂😂😂

I'm glad I never listened to my teachers, I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I ruin my life and ruin any chance of having a career.

That standup comedian knows awful lot about teaching.
