Teaching Like Ted Lasso

The Introduction

Season 1, Ep. 0

We watched the first two seasons of Ted Lasso, the Emmy Award Winning AppleTV+ series, and thought, "This has a lot of great lessons for educators." So, we're creating 10 episodes addressing major themes from the show that might support teachers in improving their professional practice. This introduction (Episode 0) provides a quick overview of our project. If you find it interesting, we ask that you become part of the Ted Ed community and share your ideas on Twitter at #TeachingLikeTedLasso.
