Timothy Stafford practices what he preaches. He was my teacher in high school over 20 years ago, and his passion and creativity inspired and helped shape me into the person I am today, a lifelong lover of knowledge and learning.
This is terrific! Dr. Stafford brilliantly underscores the transformative power of self-directed learning in shaping the future of education. His approach make a compelling case for fostering autonomy and personal engagement in lifelong learning journeys.
So timely. I’m helping my daughter homeschool her ninth grade son using Dr. Tim Stafford’s message as our inspiration. We are seeing a positive response in his attitude and assignments.
Great job Dr. Stafford. I’ve been in education 17 years and haven’t it heard of heutagogy! This was very valuable information and I can tell you as an educator who was worked with students from PK 3 to seniors in High school (17/18), Heutagogy is a real thing and students’ intrinsic motivation is sparked through self discovery. Thank you.
His TEDx talk proves he is an excellent educator: he uses very simple language and examples to make people understand an abstract and complicated concept 👍
Timely and inspirational message for educators at all levels! You are a true leader in higher education, and I am proud to be a colleague at St. Thomas University!
Excellent perspective on teaching and learning, Dr. Stafford! It’s so important to make sure teaching and learning is developmental for students of any age and for any content area! I have loved teaching at any travel and content area from second grade to middle school math! Making sure any content area is fun and interesting is the very best! You do that, too!😎😎😎
I totally agree. This is your old SCPA fellow Alumni Wade Hawkins. I've been working in Education also and just started working as a home school teacher. Arizona has a really great program now where they let the parents use part of their child's education funds that would have gone to the public schools. I'm so freed up to respond to the kids interest that way. The whole plan is great for everyone because teachers can get paid better and the kids can get better education more efficiently and have more time for things they really love. With this new flexible form of education I believe we can be on the brink of a big change for civilization.
Thanks Dr Stafford. You've shared a deeply thoughtful and consumable product that inspires me to learn as an indulgence, and helps me to convey that attitude to my kids and to my colleagues. It's so relevant now, when the biggest resource at our fingertips is information about almost anything.
Unbelievable application to any person who regularly communicates to a crowd of any size and how to make the information they are teaching compelling and connected to their audience. Every teacher and public communicator should hear and apply what Dr. Stafford is teaching. It will greatly enhance the effectiveness of your communication and the capacity of your audience to apply what you are teaching. It is brilliant and life changing. I have already started moving the fulcrum.
Really great perspective on learning. It reflects my own journey as well, where I didn’t “learn” how to learn until much later in my educational journey at the masters level. I echo these methods with my own team in. Professional environment because of Tim’s insight.
Dr.Stafford, still as inspiring as you were 33 years ago when I had the pleasure of being taught music by you! And you're absolutely right, I've learned more in the past two years of traveling the world about history, politics, geography, world religion, and world music than I ever would have in a classroom.
Thank you Lisa and I was only ever as good as my students were engaged and so good for you that you have continued to be a lifelong learner and inspiration yourself!
I'm proud to call Dr. Timothy Stafford my Professor and Advisor! His dedication to education and passion for integrating technology into learning are truly inspiring. I will always cherish our meeting; He spoke encouraging words and confirmed that I was in my purpose. Watching this TED Talk keeps me motivated and striving to share my expertise like Dr. Timothy one day! Keep spreading your wisdom, Professor!👏👏👏👏

Dr Stafford was the best band teacher I ever had.
Inspiring delivery! I am so proud to be able to learn from Dr. Stafford. "The value cannot be put on us; it has to come from within us."
This is terrific! Dr. Stafford brilliantly underscores the transformative power of self-directed learning in shaping the future of education. His approach make a compelling case for fostering autonomy and personal engagement in lifelong learning journeys.
I wish the educational system would require each teacher to master this amazing concept. Awesome job, Dr. Tim!

A very thoughtful and easily understood explanation about the most important years of a human's life. When we learn how to learn.
