I chose The Ted Talk, "The Danger of a Single Story".  This heavily resonated with me throughout her speech.  I think as teachers we hear single stories all the time.  We hear how one teacher had difficulty with a particular student and then we form an opinion on that student without even knowing them or giving them a chance.  I have been guilty of this myself a times during my career.  I think the biggest takeaway is making sure that you form your own opinion by doing your own research.  Don't gauge your thoughts or opinions on what you've read or heard.
