Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.04,0:02:06.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the storytelling is so compelling.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.03,0:02:09.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right now there's a person who can tell an audience

Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.14,0:02:17.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So people will then say,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.38,0:02:34.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The reality is, the folks I described

Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.49,0:02:46.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The folks who know the skills about how to teach
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.87,0:02:48.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and engage an audience
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.19,0:02:51.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't even know what teacher certification means.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.74,0:03:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that to me is sad.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.47,0:03:03.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's sad because the people who I described,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.47,0:03:06.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they were very disinterested in the learning process,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.24,0:03:08.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to be effective teachers,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.10,0:03:09.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they have no models.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.45,0:03:11.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to paraphrase Mark Twain.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.19,0:03:13.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mark Twain says that proper preparation,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.72,0:03:15.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or teaching,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.12,0:03:18.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is so powerful that it can turn bad morals to good,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.74,0:03:21.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it can turn awful practices into powerful ones,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.41,0:03:23.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it can change men and transform them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.99,0:03:26.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into angels.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.60,0:03:28.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The folks who I described earlier
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.90,0:03:30.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,got proper preparation in teaching,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.89,0:03:32.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not in any college or university,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.97,0:03:36.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but by virtue of just being in the\Nsame spaces of those who engage.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.97,0:03:39.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Guess where those places are?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.21,0:03:41.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Barber shops,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.28,0:03:44.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rap concerts, and most importantly,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.46,0:03:46.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the black church.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.11,0:03:49.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I've been framing this idea\Ncalled Pentecostal pedagogy.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.03,0:03:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who here has been to a black church?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.34,0:03:53.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We got a couple of hands.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.65,0:03:55.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You go to a black church,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.01,0:03:56.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their preacher starts off
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.62,0:03:59.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he realizes that he has to engage the audience,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.51,0:04:01.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so he starts off with this sort of wordplay
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.36,0:04:03.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the beginning oftentimes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.04,0:04:04.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then he takes a pause,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.86,0:04:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he says, "Oh my gosh, they're\Nnot quite paying attention."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.04,0:04:08.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he says, "Can I get an amen?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.64,0:04:09.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Audience: Amen.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.63,0:04:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris Emdin: So I can I get an amen?\NAudience: Amen.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.92,0:04:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,CE: And all of a sudden, everybody's reawoken.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.26,0:04:17.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That preacher bangs on the pulpit for attention.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.32,0:04:19.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He drops his voice at a very, very low volume
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.98,0:04:21.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when he wants people to key into him,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.85,0:04:24.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and those things are the skills that we need
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.11,0:04:26.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the most engaging teachers.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.18,0:04:27.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So why does teacher education
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.62,0:04:29.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only give you theory and theory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.69,0:04:31.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and tell you about standards and tell you about
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.93,0:04:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of these things that have nothing to do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.87,0:04:37.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the basic skills, that magic that you need
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.19,0:04:40.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to engage an audience, to engage a student?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.16,0:04:43.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I make the argument that\Nwe reframe teacher education,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.18,0:04:45.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we could focus on content, and that's fine,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.96,0:04:48.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we could focus on theories, and that's fine,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.27,0:04:49.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but content and theories
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.84,0:04:52.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the absence of the magic
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.44,0:04:55.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of teaching and learning means nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.35,0:04:58.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now people oftentimes say,\N"Well, magic is just magic."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.11,0:04:59.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are teachers who,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.49,0:05:01.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,despite all their challenges, who have those skills,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.95,0:05:04.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get into those schools and are \Nable to engage an audience,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.68,0:05:05.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the administrator walks by and says,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.97,0:05:08.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Wow, he's so good, I wish all\Nmy teachers could be that good."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.90,0:05:10.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when they try to describe what that is,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.94,0:05:13.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they just say, "He has that magic."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.17,0:05:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm here to tell you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.43,0:05:16.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that magic can be taught.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.89,0:05:19.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Magic can be taught.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.24,0:05:22.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Magic can be taught.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.05,0:05:23.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, how do you teach it?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.58,0:05:25.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You teach it by allowing people
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.25,0:05:26.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go into those spaces
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.66,0:05:28.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where the magic is happening.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.26,0:05:30.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you want to be an aspiring\Nteacher in urban education,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.99,0:05:33.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've got to leave the confines of that university
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.27,0:05:35.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and go into the hood.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.03,0:05:37.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You've got to go in there and\Nhang out at the barbershop,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.52,0:05:39.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you've got to view those folks
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.98,0:05:41.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that have the power to engage
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.78,0:05:43.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just take notes on what they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.56,0:05:46.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At our teacher education classes at my university,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.56,0:05:48.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've started a project where every single student
