- The struggle is real - teaching and learning can be challenging from either perspective. How to use CRSSP strategies to make teaching and learning more engaging. Dedicating her adult life to inspiring her students with discovering their strengths and inspiring personal growth, not only as learners, but as people. Wholeheartedly believing learning can, and should be, both rigorous and fun. Michele started her educational career as a speech/language pathologist and 18 years teaching 3rd grade. For the past 16 years, she has been a well known and respected gifted/talented/enrichment specialist at the elementary school level, challenging students in grades K - 4. During the height of COVID, she spent one year back in the classroom, teaching 4th grade. Michele is involved with Odyssey of the Mind program. She has helped hundreds of students in grades K - 12 improve their creative problem solving skills. For several years, Michele also served as the Director for Camp Invention, a summertime STEM camp. Currently, Michele teaches watercolor painting classes, is an avid crafter, and is very active in her church community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Ms. Freitag taught my son in fourth grade - amazing! Changed the trajectory of his life!. Thank You for your continuous hard work.
Thank you Angel! I remember him very fondly! Please give him a hug for me!
This has to be one of the best TEDx I have ever listened to. As an educator my self I just loved it!
Thank you so much for your kind words, and for serving children as an educator!
Being someone who looks forward to teaching , the perfect video!! ❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it. I want to motivate those going into teaching and those who are already teaching but feeling discouraged. I also hope to inspire instructional leaders to allow teachers to teach this way - to make it rigorous, but also engaging and fun - for everyone - including the teachers! Best of luck to you Natasha!
“Teachers wanted to teach this way but their hands are tied”
Exactly the situation I am in.
We really need a revolution in education.
Agreed! Let's keep speaking out about how to make changes that serve our students well. Let's build momentum. I was grateful for this opportunity to speak out. Let's all speak out in whatever ways we can.
😅😅😅
we are so lucky to have Ms. Frietag teach our kids
Thank you Shannon!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I agree 100% and more people need to hear this message. ❤
Thank you. I am so grateful to have had this platform to share my message.
From someone that is passioned about many topics and wants to learn the best way to aproach new students (I hope to become a professor), this is exactly what I needed to listen to. Incredible speech.
Thank you so much! Best wishes in your educational journey.
Great and valuable information, Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you - I love the work I do with children.
A wonderful teacher, kind and respectful, and your words are very beautiful. May God bless you. If they used this method with us in schools, we would be good and we love studying. In my country, a failed study, and a teacher beats the child and also scolds him with bad words. He leaves school. The child is the reason for this method. Until Jed thinks about the reason for the aggressive style with a teacher and his student, and he has pressure from his family, his teacher, and the child’s teacher. What should he do?
Thank you for your kind words. I truly hope things change in your country. We all deserve respect. We all deserve to learn in the way that works for us. I am grateful to have this opportunity to speak for all students and teachers.
You have all the appreciation and respect
This is one of the best Ted lecture I've heard. Thank you from Israel
Thank you! I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for education.
Thank you Ma'am. I am currently teach as student-teacher. In my experience, students raise their hand nonstop if the question or activity is all about expressing themselves. for example: describe yourself in oneword, what song describe your feelings at this moment. if you going to learned musical instrument what instrument would you select?
I'm glad you enjoyed my talk. Your students are lucky to have a teacher who really cares about them.
@@Mfreitag62 I'm speechless. wooo
I’ve railed for many years- since my son was in grade school- about the constant testing and what people call “teaching to the test.” I firmly believe that the rigid standards may be a serious detriment to creative learning and ruin spontaneous teachable moments
Oh and I totally agree with her. Great talk!!
@@carlenedean8382 Thank you. You are right - we miss so many teachable moments because we are so worried about getting to the next standard or skill.
Someone start a new campaign: Freitag for State Superintendent of Schools! Federal for that matter! (if we want such positions...)
Thanks for the support. I thought about going into administration - but what I really love is working directly with the students. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share my thoughts with a wider audience through TED.
Thats why qmerica last
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but thank you for watching my TED talk. Best wishes.
