Secrets To A Happier Work Place

I love this Ted Talks on positive psychology. Shawn Achor is not only funny, but there is something about his style that is very approachable.

 My plan is to share with my faculty this year, but I also think it would be fun to share with high school students and then have a socratic seminar about it.

What do you think? Do you love it as much as me?

Success

What does it take to be successful? I love starting this discussion with my older students at the beginning of the school year or as we start our career discussion.
Here is a great Ted Talks video I use to get my students thinking:

Ted Talks About Bullying

If you have not incorporated Ted Ed into your lesson plans add it to your 2013-2014 bucket list now.
One of my 5th grade teachers shared this Ted Talks with me about bullying. I think it's very powerful.

The best part is there are wonderful discussion questions on the site, a quiz to make sure they were listening, and a dig deeper section which allows the students to explore on their own. I think this will be a great socratic seminar for next year.
