As Lisa Sanetti is quick to point out, most people can vividly recall their favorite teachers growing up. In her talk, Sanetti discusses the crisis of teacher stress which she believes is a problem whose affect won't be limited to the teacher and the students. She further explains why we need to pay more attention to this issue and outlines the possible implications of it.
