Welcome to TEDxValenciaHighSchool - BELIEVE!

Why “BELIEVE”?

Because, WE BELIEVE!

At Valencia High School, we believe learners are individuals who bring a
unique set of needs and abilities to the classroom and that they should be
encouraged to become responsible for their own learning, especially as they mature.
We believe that a teacher’s primary role is that of a facilitator of learning, creating
opportunities for learning which improve the chances of student success. We believe
that the learning process is multifaceted, unique to each student, yet containing
unifying threads of purpose in addressing the student as a whole person. We believe
the curriculum is a set of criteria designed, as much as possible, to meet the needs
of students and should be offered to them in as compelling a manner as possible.We
believe that the learning environment is a shared, public place that must be
welcoming, safe, and the responsibility of those who share it. We believe it is important
to recognize and embrace the diversity that arises from the milieu as it provides a
myriad of opportunities to enhance student learning and growth. Finally, we believe if we
are to be good facilitators of the learning of others, we must embrace opportunities to
expand our own learning on an ongoing, life-long basis. This includes allowing ourselves
time to be critically reflective, along with the time and space to grow to be what we believe we can become.

The speakers you are going to hear from are high school students who used the word “BELIEVE” as a thematic jumping-off point for creating a TEDx Talk. You will hear talks that range from twins to (spoiler!) the medicinal qualities of cow dung, crafted by speakers who have worked tirelessly to create an experience for you to BELIEVE!
