The Teacher's Role

This video is taken from one of Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talks Education speeches (filmed in April 2013) entitled How to escape education's death valley. The clip (view part 06:20 to 09:45) focuses on learner curiosity, the second of his three key principles crucial for the human mind to flourish.
