Community colleges and our collective future | Heather Wylie | TEDxRedding 

Heather was my professor at Shasta College! Such an amazing human, always striing to meet me where I was and I was so many places. I had a connection with her, I will always remember the support and care she had for me. Thanks Heather

I used to think they were beneath me. Now have worked for one for 10 years. These kids have real goals and want to learn.

Love it Heather! Your stories about Christina and Mike and their childhoods are so common among our students. When we offer them the opportunity to connect and build personal relationships we build resiliency tools for them that allow them to succeed at our college and in life. I just loved the TALK! Thank you for walking this talk!

Love the video, specially the message to the teachers "connect with students not just educate them".

This was a RIDICULOUS take on education. Sounds like a bad teacher that discovered how to teach on the job. On point about community colleges.
