I can't stop crying after watching this. I've been a teacher for 11 years in a tough school. This is what I hope for the children I taught there. No question... it is so so hard. It takes a mental toll that can't be quantified but if this is difference it makes....!
I have never seen this before, what an inspiring talk, still as relevant now as it will be in future years. Well done for being human and shouting out for the teachers that cared and recognised you.
This is one of the most extraordinary Ted talks I’ve ever watched for the simple reason that her unrehearsed joy and sincerity shines throughout... I’ve never seen that in any Ted talk before. Passion yes, but not this level of uncomplicated joy. It’s literally living proof of the transformative effect of her teachers’ - or any ordinary hero’s- care and concern. Also, we’ve all sat on the couch and wondered how the apprentice contestants reliably stuff up simple tasks, I guess the real heroes are the apprentice editors who make it look much easier than it really is for TV haha
Jaz thank you for inspiring so many of us staff at our school this week, because so many feel like failures and end up leaving, but we needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏾
How could people just NOT like this Ted talk..? Anyway.. Been an educator since January this year and it is just an amazing job.. having the opportunity to make a change in the lives of those young people.. Thank you for reminding that we should keep believing in change and keep fighting to help them get along their difficulties
You are incredible! Thank you so so much for speaking during the Summer Institute at Teach First. I can never explain how deeply your story touched me, my words just aren't enough, but when it's tough I will remember this!
This is a video I planned to use in conjunction with teaching the hero's journey with The Odyssey... didn't expect it to hit this 6th year teacher (in the midst of a VERY difficult school year) right in the feels.
Awesome Jaz. Great work, super inspiring. We want to create something like this for teachers in the North of Nigeria to make them realise how amazing they are. Hope to see you at the JP conference this year so we can chat more about this. Big love and respect to you. Gary and Naomi X
I found that quite emotional. I always wanted to be one to make a difference, and I have been lucky enough to have those chances in life. The little things do matter :)
Oh. My. Goodness. How beautiful. Your story. Your soul. Your truth. Thank you. I cannot wait to have you join me on The Healing Place Podcast. Just beautiful.
That's really empowering Jaz, thank you for sharing! Who is the man on stage with you at the end? His appearance seemed to be a surprise to you; is it someone from your story?

'Go be a hero' - an incredible talk by Jaz. She uplifts me with her energy and vision. I'll watch this again when I'm next in the negative zone.

Jaz - such a powerful talk - amazing to hear teachers making that difference - and that we all can and so many do
