Teaching Like Ted Lasso

Education EN ↓ 43 episodes

We watched the first two seasons of Ted Lasso , the Emmy Award Winning AppleTV+ series, and thought, "This has a lot of great lessons for educators." So, we're creating 10 episodes addressing major themes from the show that might support teachers in improving their professional practice. Each episode will include teaching and learning examples from the show, from the research, and from practice. We ask that you become part of the Ted Ed community and share your ideas on Twitter at #TeachingLikeTedLasso. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
