I LOVE TED Talks. About six years ago, I posted my list of favorites for teachers on my blog, and it has been shared thousands of times. I decided it was time to update things, as the educational landscape has changed so much since then. Guess what? Even with all the changes, three of my Top 5 have withheld the test of time. 

Get ready to be inspired and invigorated!

Top 5 TED Talks for Teachers 2024 updated:

1. Rita Pierson - "Every Kid Needs a Champion"
   • A heartfelt reminder of the importance of building positive relationships with students. This TED Talk inspired one of the most beloved prompts in my Positive Mindset Habits for Teachers Journal.

2. Sal Khan - "How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education"
