Teaching character -- the other half of the picture | Andrew Sokatch | TEDxManhattanBeach
Вставка

- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Character Lab Research Director Andrew Sokatch has a sobering yet attainable message regarding the education of today's youth. While test scores and the reading, writing, math, science behind them are important, we are not properly and wholly educating our children if we aren't alsoteaching character. Andrew argues character can and should be taught in schools, noting grit, persistence, self-control, courage, and humor, are all critical life skills for successful employment, marriages, and citizenship.
Having taught elementary, middle school, college, and graduate school students, and spending over a decade leading teacher quality research at Teach For America and The New Teacher Project, Andrew Sokatch is currently being humbled and inspired daily as a parent of two young children.
All of which is to say he has spent a lot time thinking about what it means to be an effective educator, and has become singularly dissatisfied by the narrow current conversation over teacher quality. In his desire to broaden and deepen the definition of what it means to provide high quality education for all children, Andrew has recently joined the new nonprofit, Character Lab, as the founding director of research.
The “Game Changer” Andrew most admires is Robert Moses (the civil rights icon, not the destroyer of NYC), because he had a singular vision and plan and the courage to make it happen. In a field of giants he is one of the (mostly) unacknowledged truly great ones. Also, Joey Ramone.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Dear Andrew Sokatch,
I hope you'll read this: Thanks a lot for your talk! It's exactly what I needed in this moment and you were exactly saying the things I just recognized in my life ..school is all going well but taking a single subject in college is pretty hard and makes me feeling dumb or not good enough so I was already thinking about giving up and try it later again.
Now not anymore, it is an amazing talk!
Greetings from Germany :)
Hi Andrew
Four years later and your Ted Talk is very relevant today as character building is imperative for all children and schools are not always able to bridge that gap.

Parents should be the teacher of character, morals, and values. Not a teacher who may have values not aligned with the family.
“Character” is a set of values that transcend social, economic, educational, and cultural values. They are typically agreed upon globally as a skill set that people need to be successful. Perseverance, integrity, kindness, and belief in oneself are not just things that should be taught at home.
Kids need reassurance and reinforcement constantly - both at home and at school.
I honestly never thought anyone could be opposed to schools reinforcing these qualities in children.

You made the same mistake those-who-you-complain-about made. You say that "the other half of the picture" needs to be taught. But, what both sides omit is the "why". You use a "why" to sell this at the end, as an after thought. But the main intro should be about "You can lead a student to class, but you can't make him thirsty to learn.". You failed in that, the same way the teachers of the "first half of the picture" did. Why learn something you don't value?
Very true but change is impossible
Why? As Mr. Sokatch has said, there is already lots of evidence that these character strengths can be taught through easy interventions. Look at the research on teaching perseverance of Angela Duckworth and Carol Dweck (on changing students' mindsets)
+Ramy Ragab Hassan Why do you say so?
