How to fix education’s biggest crisis | Michael O'Keeffe | TEDxJohn Paul College Youth
The world is running out of teachers, and the impact is already being felt in classrooms everywhere. In this thought-provoking talk, Michael O’Keeffe explores why fewer people are choosing teaching, why so many great educators are leaving, and what we can do to change that. Through personal stories and real-world examples, he challenges us to rethink how we value teachers and reimagine education as a profession people actively want to pursue. Because if we don’t fix this now, who will teach the students of tomorrow? Michael is an educator, leader, and advocate for the future of teaching. With a dedication to Catholic education, he has held multiple leadership roles, including his current position as Deputy Principal, where he works to shape learning and teaching for the next generation. With a background in drama and theatre education, he has directed and produced countless school musicals, bringing creativity into the classroom. A passionate musical theatre fan, sports enthusiast, and lifelong learner, Michael is always looking for ways to inspire both students and teachers, ensuring education evolves to meet the needs of the future.

- 11:16How to turn cities into conservation hubs | Dustin Partridge | TEDxFordhamUniversityWhen people think of cities, they rarely picture green landscapes, rich habitats, or thriving biodiversity. But what if that perception changed? By shifting how we view cities and their role in wildlife conservation, we can build a future in which healthy habitats are woven into the fabric of urban life, benefiting people and birds while connecting landscapes and cultures across the hemisphere. Dustin Partridge, Ph.D., the director of conservation and science at NYC Bird Alliance, is a pioneering scientist in urban green space conservation research in North America.His work, focused on wildlife conservation in New York City, has driven cities to reconsider the ecological value of small green spaces. Partridge’s published research has reshaped the national conversation on the role of cities in conservation, leading to significant policy changes in New York City. These include the passage of Local Laws 92 and 94, which mandate green roof and solar installations on new buildings, and the Green Roof Tax Abatement, which offers substantial financial incentives for green roof installations in high-need areas. An adjunct professor at Columbia University and a sought-after speaker in media and public forums, Partridge is a scientist whose approach to conservation is based on using science to drive solutions that benefit both wildlife and people.
