Proven steps to a better classroom | Tatiana Lingos-Webb | TEDxYouth@BeaconStreet

What if someone told you that all it takes to teach kids a whole host of crucial life skills is a little...ballroom dancing? Tatiana Lingos-Webb has spent years getting 10-year-olds to tango with their classmates, and her work reinforces the growing consensus that social and emotional intelligence plays a major role in children's academic outcomes and life success. She argues that if you want to change a school, engage a classroom, and turn out gritty, socially mature, high-achieving students, you should spend some time "teaching to the steps" instead of just "teaching to the test".

Tatiana Lingos-Webb is the founder of Dancing Classrooms New England, a social and emotional learning program for 5th graders that brings mandatory lessons in ballroom dance to public school classrooms.
