President of National Urban Alliance Speaks at TEDx
"It was an honor to be invited to speak and to share the idea that I've dedicated my life to—ensuring that children reach their potential. We all have the ability to step outside the labels we are given and exceed every meager expectation that is set for us," said Dr. Cooper.
Many lessons Dr. Cooper relayed in his speech about motivating students and the role of the brain in teaching and learning stem from his work at NUA. NUA's mission is to substantiate an irrefutable belief in the capacity of all public school children to achieve high intellectual performances. NUA's focus is raising teacher and administrator quality through professional development that incorporates research from cognitive neuroscience on learning, teaching and leading. NUA partners with school districts to help them build their capacity to advocate community-wide responsibility for realizing the learning potential of their students.
Launched in 2009, TEDx is a program of locally organized events that bring the community together to share a TED-like experience. Some of the best talks from TEDx events have gone on to be featured on TED.com and garnered millions of views from audiences across the globe.
