1. be original. 2. renounce teaching, embrace learning. 3. get to the eye level of students, understand chapter from student perspective. 4. help students make mistakes. 5. reinvent the wheel.

One of the best TED talk. Do not take them on a bus ride, let them ride a bicycle. Well said.

[@johnmichaelmanabat553]

I am 21 y.old and as a neophyte junior high school teacher, this spectacular speech helps me a lot to improve my teaching skills.

[@coldplayer9403]

13:06 right before we started one of the lectures, my professor said, “let’s make mistakes.” I’ll never forget it!

[@mansapande]

I wish all the teachers in the world understood this mantra!

thanks for this video. Now I am 17 y.o and a teacher . I have been working since I was 16. I am young enough but at the same time I have responsibility for my students ranging from 15 tom 43 . Pray for me. I hope i will be successful ever.

[@georginabravo4508]

The way to become a better teacher is to always be a student. You always should be learning something new, so it will be easy for you to put yourself in your student’s shoes. A new language, read music, play an instrument, learn to knit, or paint, etc.

[@voldyx]

Wow! Absolutely Brilliant!! The world needs more teachers like him. If he can inspire so much in a single ted talk, imagine what teachers like him can accomplish during a semester.

[@yakinilua]

Thanks, I'm a student of language. I wanna start "teaching" in a classroom soon. This video helped me to understand better how become a great teacher.

[@techgamershaven7231]

[@divya4192]

thanks so much

[@akshubhau5249]

Thanks Bro🙏

[@shelvijobinvarghese2292]

Great

[@kashemvai5025]

YES, that was my question for years, "WHY AM I LEARNIGN THIS?" In every class that I took in college, teachers would walk in, do some maths on board, walk out and we were supposed to write them down on papers, but never told why I needed to learn this thing. I hate traditional teaching method in classroom, it never taught me anything. Honestly, duing my entire undergrad, I learnt almost 95% things from internet and youtube alone, my professors were very unhelpful in making me learn things. And, also I hate "teachers" who were never supposed to be teachers. I know countless people, who became a teacher after their "PhD" only because they were struggling to get a job after they graduated, they were never meant to teach.

[@DR.-NABIL]

Next September i'll meet my first class as a philosophy professor. Thank you TEDx. thank you Mr.Mariappan Jawaharlal.

[@sallywhyte8233]

This was an inspiring and incredible talk. For someone about to teach abroad for the first time this really helped me feel more confidence in teaching and connecting with the students. Thank you Mariappan !

[@BrickMuffin]

Thank you for your teachings and guidance during my time as an undergraduate Dr. Jawa. The world needs more professors like you.

[@lakshmisridurga6826]

What I learned from this speech is "What do u think " it's wonderful it's applicable in real life also for ur own childern in life situvations making the questioned one to think about their questions makes them to become more intelligent and own problem solver.

[@maggiedunbar5947]

As a retired teacher I found your ideas excellent

[@imranpathan-hu6zu]

This man deserves Nobel prize 🏆

[@RebelPrapti]

You are definitely one of the favourite teacher of nearly all students whom you have taught ever... And now you are mine too

[@GenomicsLab]

it is like teaching for the teachers. Real teachers like this video

[@ArvindAmin]

Excellent talk! So simple, yet very powerful learning for teachers. I was expecting teaching 'Why'. Perhaps, that was implicit in the talk. There should be a Nobel prize for teachers. He should get one!

[@bencyber8595]

Arvind Amin yes , a noble price winner , what is teaching , it consists of 10 vol , each volume may be around 700 pages , tnx

[@sweetapple1479]

Tomorow is my first day teaching at school, so thank you for this video. It's great! 💓

[@balajic3823]

WONDERFUL Lecture! Almost all the school teachers in India should watch this video!!

[@ulukbekzhumaliev2588]

Not only in India, but also in Kyrgyzstan.

[@amgreacts6533]

I'm really happy to see teachers are gonna apply these effective ways to help their students in learning 😍

[@shabnamafroz4184]

I am going to apply these ideas in my teaching...

[@beanhwak]

I fully agree with you. You are very clear with the message if you can explain in simple terms then you teach well. So many skills have to be applied with great commitment in a lesson and this is only possible with a deep understanding of subject matter.

[@ganeshvinayagam9021]

I am, as a teacher, appreciate. Whatever you said is true. The final one “ What do you think “ is real good technic👌

[@tthtlc]

Not in school anymore, even my boss (in corporate world) is also telling me don't reinvent the wheel. When he don't understand anything, it is easy for him to say that. And then when you worked hard and finally reinvented the wheel, he will say your work is not appreciated, many others have done it before.

[@shwetakushwaha3624]

I also became a teacher..... Your lecture very helpful for me Thanks a lot.. God bless you 👍👍

[@sachinrajbhar1640]

really seen such SAMAJH🤯🤯 of Teaching ... Hats off to tedx and Jawaharlal Sir !!!

[@renukaprathaban8272]

My teacher has been very practical down to earth and makes even difficult topics easy

[@ashavarma5584]

Brilliant! Outstanding! Thank you sir, for that eyeopener. Thoroughly enjoyed your talk! You have put it so simply and so clearly. As a teacher trainer at university, this is just what I try to teach my trainees of English. Teaching is not equal to learning. One of the first questions we ask is, 'So you taught the lesson, but did they learn???' Moreover, we need a facilitator in class, not a lecturer.

[@manideep1081]

Really you are excellent sirThe way u r talking and explaining the things are awesom initially i felt like nothing But after 4 minutes i was realised indeed what you are... and how be simple and best teacher

[@Cloudicles]

You're an amazing speaker and I loved this. Thank you. I would love to see you in action teaching

[@aparnasakarkar7562]

you are great sir real guru according to our ancient mythology .a fountain of knowledge which never dries

[@mayankrajprajapat8542]

UNEXPECTED ...WOW. he is realy an OUTSTANDING Professor .

[@lebaldevampire6273]

This guy is funny. This is why he is a good teacher. Students are always comfortable with a funny teacher and they learn easily.

[@poonguzhalip8644]

Not every time They should have the knowledge and we should be thankful to them They should not partiality Then there are many things other than this

[@jaasu828]

I don't think so

[@julifinau3253]

Waw ini luar biasa , trimaksih profesor pembicaraan anda sangat membantu saya dalam berkuliah untuk mengambil jurusan guru , saya jadi paham siapa itu guru dan bagaimana belajar yang menyenangkan sekali lagi terimakasih profesor❤❤

[@fatima8769]

Spectacular teacher. I wish i can spend a sem in his course. Good teachers are God

[@rabiaakbar2128]

MASHALLah very nice techniques ,every teacher should adopt ,honestly

[@tthtlc]

My nuclear physics teacher, and so many other physics teacher in NUS (Singapore) is horribly sucks. Till today I still keep his notes, and every time I opened the notes, I just cannot stop feeling my wasted youth by all the physics teacher. One outstanding one is TTChia and he motivates us through his charisma.

[@vinods4155]

Truly fantastic lecture. should be heard and inculcated by every teacher. and it should be compulsory

Thank you! Awesome, very much enlightening. Warm regards from SM Gemilang, Indonesia.

[@poornimasunkara5395]

Very insightful Dr. Jawa. I teach young students and I am looking at ways to apply your insights. Although I align with most of your concepts to teaching, I havent exactly known a specific method to implement it. I now get the confidence that I am on the right track and with your reassurance am going to explore and adopt them in my classes. Thanks. Like to know more from you. wish I could connect with you somewhere online.

[@outstandingprofessor1506]

Good observation. Techniques are great but you need an overall strategy (pedagogical). I didn't discuss that in this talk.

[@rashikumar2776]

Pure gold, can't agree more, Sir!

[@snehad2405]

When I heard this speech I felt like the anonymous reader of Disney films

Many do but lack of appreciation and respect from students and parents demoralizes them and if some us taught because of pay we would be in other careers believe me
