I mean, dart really is just the start. Its just the 1st Planetary Defense test mission. It was spectacular, and its accomplished and well figure out how effective it was. Thats really what were going to learn in the next weeks to come. All right, we hit this asteroid now. How effective was that at deflecting it . And what would that mean for using it . The kremlin has admitted it made mistakes, and its mobilize ation of hundreds of thousands of reserve in the fight in the ukraine. Military call up sparked anger, protest and russia.

Yet around the globe schools and institutions at breaking point systems a deemed to be no longer fit a path, rethinking what school of home and how they was identifying the skill and knowledge needed and the 20th century. Now, a new way of rebel education is sweeping, the wild rebel educated, a radically changed the way people land, challenging the old and buck with creating opportunities which will affect individual and the entire community. Oh. Being out on the water with a no to post go like this is a pretty great experience that i love being out here. This is a friday period 3 and look were on that ra victoria. Adopt that in itself. Makes this school a great place to be and i think it was so inspires us. Is this go to do things in different and unique ways . Were not bounded by what you would expect, which is a great thing when i 1st came to the u. K. One thing that didnt strike me was the amount to which the system for education focuses on exam outcomes as a lot of punishment associated with doing badly. And then that same, its often led to really conservative approaches in the classroom in schools. This is a risk averse process. I think theres much more that we should be doing in classrooms then simply getting ready for again with sit down right is not please. Theres not voice. I told you yesterday that we were going to do gonna continue to learn about a movement in america the minute and so and actually does that. They have is starting in london to cool black lloyds. Mom, when people come to the streets in large numbers thats normally called protest, ok, and interesting thing about protest is protests and symbols. Ok. Who can tell me what a symbol is . Yes, a good. So actually what you see directly can often be different to what you think of right. This is my 1st year as a qualified teacher. So this is all ive ever done. And i think it would be difficult for me now to return to, i mean, for lack of a better term, mainstream education. The good thing about the autonomy here is the fact that you can, i can push a certain things. I can push the issue of representation, theyre giving a frame. What to do that is a picture of who a number here is the most famous person that is beyond say, right . I want you to do is own it. I want you to tell your partner. I dont want you to ask them, why do you think beyonce has put all of these names . All behind the talk to the person next to go on the national curriculum. It says that teachers are allowed to teach pretty much anything they want according to the official document that the government and we have autonomy to do that its. Its just the case that often has the departments dont put systems in place in which teachers can choose their own text. What does Treyvon Martins name stand for in all of the list of these other names . I hope that the kids feel that english is for them. English is, is about learning about the world. Its about critiquing things and society. And its about how you can stand up to injustice. And thats why hope the kids feel, and thats why i became an english teacher. And thats why i try and implement on a, on a day to day basis with this is the time when you get to choose who your english teacher is for the next 2 years. We have a state of beliefs and the English Department here about you. The 1st thing we believe is that you can be trusted, that you are the perfect person to decide where and how and with whom you learn. You decide how hard the program of learning that you think is suitable for you should be. You decide the topic. You decide the style of learning, and then you get on and succeed. We do not want to break you into groups who we think will achieve and groups who we think once that is none of our business. At the end of it all, you will all set the same g, c, a c. Examinations and you will all have the same chance of succeeding. But the path you will follow to get there will be very different. Id like to invite to come forward. Mr. Veronica, whos a new teacher as well as teaching english, ive always taught trauma media alongside that. Id like to bring in those different aspects to my teaching. Were going to be looking at perspectives, different peoples perspective, my tax, and my course are all about pre to and what freedom is, what freedom me. Im interested in the opinions that you bring to these texts because thats what makes it interesting. If you like exploring social issues with like talking about what we might call big issues such as race, unopposed, poverty, gender. Then perhaps my post will be for you to be a lot of times the aerial view, and youll be expected to and your view. Quite often, these texts that i have selected are hard work. And youre gonna have to be willing to do some hard work if you want to be in this course. I want you to develop the skill with which you speak. I want to be confident speak for in class. I want you to route the range that youre reading that your understanding so much grades up and hopefully through understanding more your enjoyment so much bright stuff. I think mr. Brian, i would teach him. He seems like hes not down to our level, but he can understand, understand, it makes you feel like a group does. It makes you have your own choice, your independence. To be honest, i really dont know who to pick because theyre all very good with all the individual ideas and everything weve invited to to have a conversation with us about the way that we work in the English Department. We need to know exactly what it is that you want to see from new teachers and what we can offer you next year. It would not be better if it was a 2 way street, whereas the t and could also shoot. We dont think its our position to choose to students. One of the things that has been proven in research thats going to make the most difference to learning. As the teacher. We feel like its appropriate for you to have a choice on that with every teacher has blog for each class. So you can look at the work that rubens being provided with. And each student has a blog. So you can look at your sons work where you can look at the work fail, the students in that class. If youre interested in seeing what others are doing. You can also go on to that same site and find all the information about all the possible badges he could ever want to achieve any concerns or own problems with the idea of us publishing all of this material. I think thats very out there. Maybe that im older, i hate him that you need to detect them. Yeah, lucky was vulnerable. So yes, we think as a school and as educators, its our job to also inform them about how to be online. And by providing them with a publishing mechanism that is under our control they, we can then monitor, right, the choices theyre making, and b and b with them and their online world. Were concerned a its important for us if we ever are invited to do the things to go together because what we do, it doesnt just come from one person. Its actually about all of us. Its the students and the teachers for sharing our experiences of what weve created together. The thing is a conference for teachers. So the only people there except for you will all be too because we do things so unusually, very interesting to see how that actually works in a school. And one. And one of the things we agreed was that its actually more real if the students talk about your point of view, then we just say students really like it. Talk about what you want to talk about reading because thats what the people were there for. Each of you that might be a different thing, im not sure. But harry, because you engaged massively with achievement on your own badges and things like that. Yeah. It might be that youre in a position to talk about that also. Yeah. English class. Yeah. It isnt, even though we use our base of skills, i love music to do more harsh things about what were doing right now. If you dont normally get to have that conversation, normally youll go into a classroom in another school and they will tell you what your program has done, debate. And thats what you do with a book along some people from my team in order to validates and verify some of the things were saying, im going to talk to you about a whole new system of working that encourages teachers and students to take responsibility for themselves our school, so not linear, ordinary school year. Economic deal was on the firms and then upload it to your blog and then your teachers can see it. Usually an inspection, i hate to read a book. I have read a book with the early school. I know that she has its own english teacher, and i think that in all way it will towards you and not it makes you so young a bit. Now if it makes you more that like yourself, a thing goes up. I think i picked miss obrien the cause i saw his course and i feel like it too late to it cause i live in the, in a see, youll have to believe me when i say this, i havent said to for you and say those things right. And so 140 and says, i think that mr. Brian course is good for me because its about in a city and we talk about social issues. Well, i mean, i think that if i was in, when i was in school, i would have liked to have said that about my teacher. And i feel like the fact that we study right as of color. And we can read about those, right as a call and he can see himself in those books is very important because if we dont, we often talk about diversity in schools, right . But if, if we dont have diversity in terms of the things that we study in english, how will we have a, have diverse english teacher . We really didnt like during, but wed love to hear what you had to say about their online websites where everything when i 1st saw the students for him i, i saw its not going to be quite sick or smooth or something. Im going to get, im going to really get anything else, but i was so you knew about, you know, it was so genuine and that it got me to thinking about how possibly i could mimic my own school that came across that they hadnt received as students in cells forward and it gave me a feeling of genuine not that made it easier for me to take that and see that it worked. I think i wouldnt have any problem having students choose my classes. I can specifically think of 2 or 3 members of my department with students wouldnt pick it. And i worry as well that those members of staff would be affected by the fact that they went picked. We get a very favorable response to her ideas when we share them with people. And at the same time, they generally say one universal thing and that is, we love this, but we could never do this. We say, why not . I wanted to take away that was a good school and what we do in the English Department as a whole is, is excellent. With this has not been easy within a state school institution, people dislike change, they risk averse. And within the sco i have had to battle with people in order to get them to agree for us to go ahead with these programs and process, they challenge the very fundamental nature of household were giving students parents. Choice is terrifying for a lot of people in education, youve recorded yourselves speaking and youve transcribed those conversations. So i want to do now is start to identify as many as possible of these modifications to standard english that youve made in your conversations. Right. A dealing with, since we have such high stakes accountability in this country, if you are going to do something that is different from the norm, school leaders, were always going to find it quite, quite threatening, particularly when the school leaves us, though accountable for the course of your Work Experience initially of christies performance when being observed final stud inspector, it was for a negative. Im not as conference for the bill if you guys are not stuck in spencer coming into your room and they will make just me and those judgements can affect your career. Inspect the came and looked at my teaching and defined my practice as inadequate. I guess there is in the sense that a good listeners listen where students are the thing behind discs they are quiet and they are studiously engaged in some kind of individual inquiry. My view is that they, they learn a lot in collaboration with each other. What other key people might call chaos, i would often just call active engagement over the years, as the results that we have achieved, have come through the system and revealed that the inspectors are much more amenable to the work we do. To the extent that the most recent visit from ultimate, they gave us a very good rating. We had to prove ourselves before we would be taken seriously. Do think that if youre going to create change in the way that we have a system like 1st you have to have courage to be willing to fail or to be seen to fail by others is on. Its not just external agencies that we have to convince, of course weve also got to convince other persons within school, not all questions with me. They dont necessarily feel that the smoke is working in english. Its not a model that Everyone Wants to adopt because it is a lot of work and it is a very different way of working on the way that many teachers who can teach for a long time used it. I think youve got something of a choice about what you do today the way that youve been planning for the whole day. The badge is planning your method. Im getting ready to actually do your experiments. Today. I am about to take over his head of sites and an s, and ive been learning a lot of time working with the English Department on the ideas that theyve had. I have already started to try that an intention and i have to results were really fantastic. The evidence that i get at teasley troy and proof of their falls. Yeah, exactly. Youve made it refutable because youve cited your sources they. I certainly enjoyed it and theyve requested that it has rules again. So this year with all of your 7. 89 and tense, thats 11 to about the age of 15. Going to be choosing a science teachers next year with were ready. Every teacher in my department teaches differently. We each have different approaches and different classroom philosophies from today. You have been given the chance to make a decision that is incredibly important to your success. The kids have been through this before. Theyve done it so many times. They know exactly whats working backlog and my team are the people that are standing there for the 1st time selling themselves, which is something thats not really asked of you very much in teaching where used to being the ones that are very much in control in our re weighed, youre more than an independent worker, you will be back in my classroom. I really want to make it that we talk about these issues that are going on in the world right now that we bring in a little more relevant. There is no room for you to be prepared to were taught. My team in the Science Department are, are almost entirely no more than half of my department has never taught it before. The turnover is stuck in sites departments in the u. K. At the moment is generally quite high. And the reason for that is theres a real shortage of science teachers. There. Students that were there this morning, the have only seen a few teachers come and go at this stage. And a couple of them had said, you know, whats the point in choosing your teacher if theyre going to be leaving soon anyway, it, sometimes they actually that they have come to believe that that we might disappear on them and not be around to see the, the cost with i will cut this morning quite petrified, actually, i mean the same feeling as many of the people in the country and other shit is my age and were not sure what were going to get. I mean, this piece of paper with less, it controls our lives with. Its pretty exciting to be able to say that the results from the c is English Program at g, c, a c of the best way or the head. The students that we teach fit into some of the categories nationally that are regarded as some of the least likely to achieve. We have students who come from back, crowns or poverty. We have students who come from backgrounds of our, with their parents or migrant students that come from difficult circumstances. And given that thats the case, and yet they come into the school and through their time here succeed at a level that is comparable and better than many other students with much greater privilege in the country is something we well it, its what gets us up in the morning i dont very well pass english, have to be an english teacher and language, and ill be studying the next year. Ive highly, highly recommended. So bryan is one of the best teachers ive ever had. Is the one who pulled for enough. I was failing english and he was the one who brought me to to see when they feed their personality and their own horse into their lessons. Thats when the lesson comes very uncle and a in literature and i, b, and language. Each student is able to. So go on their own part of what discovery and exploration of the language or the text that were studying our students to develop their own. I do. Thats probably why theyre so good in the list that has done fantastically well in english. And im really, really proud of him. He got a and to be an english and not any that hes also got a slight handle with dyslexia. The fact that its got such amazing results. Theres a credit, english to really great thing about this as well. Is he spends time with that as a child named wow, the of the when i go back here and there have been many examples over the years where ive felt frustrated because i dont think for the schools supported me in the way that id like it just typical for someone whos trying to do something differently. I thank but at the same time in the, in what weve got to show for what we have done speaks for itself. Ah ah, combining art and technology to challenge soviet era methodologies through making, creating and performing, turning a generation of children into the trailblazers of tomorrow. After school armenia, part of the rebel education series on al jazeera.
