Thank you! It is really helpful. I think I will use this as a resource for inspiring English teachers in the former USSR for excellence! I appreciate your work.
I think Dan Meyer’s Math Class Needs a Makeover (http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover.html) is a strong piece about much more than math.
Great post! You might add Dave Eggers “Once Apon a School” talk.

I also think the Seth Godin TED talks are great.
