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.
Lee Lee-I just now finally got to watch this 11 years later. LOL. I remember when you were getting ready to do this while at WRHS. I am so glad our paths have passed in this journey of life. I admire your passion of teaching GF. Hugs to you, Patti OK Keep thriving! The kids need you!❤️❤️❤️
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.
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'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.
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!
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 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow!...She is a POWERFUL POWERHOUSE of Positive Energy!...Love Love Love her and I appreciate the Great Wisdom that she just shared!...Peace Love and "LIGHT"!...
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.
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!!
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 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?
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!!
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!

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.

Best teacher ever. So grateful to have her in my daughter's life.
