About Madeline
I am a…
Educator/Teacher
Bio
I have taught high school social studies for 17 years and am excited to be a part of our first TEDx event!
I'm passionate about
Working with young people; treating all living things with love, equity and dignity; social justice and expressing our civic voice.
An idea worth spreading
Our perceived distinctions between us and other living creatures are manufactured - emotions? family connections? nurturing and caring? subconscious? Yep, they've got all of those.
Areas of expertise
Bruce Springsteen, Mindfulness and wellness for young people, Social Justice, Student leadership, US History, World History
The TED story
I have been TED-adjacent for awhile and look forward to becoming more involved in the TED community. I have had family members and friends who attended or helped organize TED events as well as TEDx events. I have my favorite TED talks, have used TED talks in the classroom and may one day get to a TED global event myself.
Things you might not know
Nah, I brag about everything I can do with any level of capability.
