TED TALKS LIVE: The Education Revolution

Why is teaching grit and character so important? What will schools and education look like in the future? The Education Revolution will examine some of the latest innovations and thinking in education with some of the brightest minds in the country. We’ll examine how we can control our ability to learn, the education gap, restorative justice for youth, the effects of hunger on kids, bullying, mentoring and just how we keep kids on track to build a better future. The evening will include TED Talks, short films, storytelling, music and performance.

Co-hosted by Sara Ramirez, Tony Award-winning singer, songwriter and actress, and featuring talks from:

Sam Kass, former White House chef, NBC senior food analyst and MIT Media Lab Fellow
Sal Khan, educator & social entrepreneur
Julie Lythcott-Haims, academic and best-selling author of How to Raise an Adult
Andrew Mangino, CEO and co-founder of The Future Project
Victor Rios, sociology professor and author of Punished: Policing the Lives of Black & Latino Boys
Dena Simmons, educator at The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence
