If we want change, we have to be change. Young generations are bombarded with information, schools must give them the tools to understand this information and learn how to use it to solve the problems they will face. The school plays a very important role, teachers families and all the operators of the school must share the goal to which you aim, the mission and the vision must be shared

Never forget the power of 'One Good Adult' on the young people that we teach.

In our school we worked through an 18 month process to establish our schools vision, and to sum it up in 4 key words - Courtesy, Loyalty, Learning and Responsibility. These became our core values and our guiding vision. The key to its success was the inclusive process that we followed and allowed all voices to be heard.

This quote summarizes my teaching style. I see myself as more than a teacher of English. I constantly use my classes to teach values to my students, to make them think critically, to learn to understand and read the world around them. I believe they can make a difference in the world if only they believe in themselves, "if only [ they]'re brave enough to be it" as Amanda Gorman so well put it.

We are challenged to a new paradigm: the ethics of care (of oneself, of the other, of the planet).
Rui Marques, Ubuntu Leaders Academy.
I recently had the opportunity to listen to Rui Marques, finding this ethic of caring for ourselves, others and the planet extremely relevant. This global vision reflects what our action should be, in line with the Ubuntu philosophy: I am for you!

“Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity”.

(The Schuman Declaration, 9th May 1950)
I think that solidarity, tolerance, empathy and European spirit are essential for education.

"I'm not
with you more than a little older comrade. I know things that
you don't know, the same way you know things I don't know or already
forgot it. I'm here to teach some and learn others. Not teaching: talking about them.
Here and on the patio and on the street and on the steam and on the train and in the garden and wherever we
lets find. I didn't finish without noticing that 'the class is ours'. that everyone fits
the right to speak, as long as you speak one at a time and don't cut the word
with her” (Sebastião da Gama, O Diário, pp. 32-33).

Sebastião da Gama was a Portuguese poet and writer who was also famous as a pedagogue in the book he wrote about the daily life of
his classes and which he titled “Diário”, published in 1962. Its reading can still be useful today
to teachers, particularly in these times when the pedagogical relationship is not easy. Its pedagogy (on the positive side) focuses on the student,
in respect and love for him, looking for his happiness.

Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
I so love this quote by M. Montessori as it verbalises so gently, what the goal of education is – to inspire to be a lifelong learner.

Becoming aware of what really matters  ( the priorities) among the schools leaders ( all those that lead a school group not only the proncipal) is a synonym of discussing visions that merge into one and after setting the goal (s) of that school vision, you need to think of strategies, ways of achieving that goal, partly imposed by those school learders in thir teams but also being open to discussing the possibilies, the best ways available to make the "dream" come true and the ways to assess from time to time that vision's project.

I could quote Malala Yousafzai or remember Anne Sullivan behind Hellen Keller but my picture is about a  worry of today's reality: it seems that only results matter but the way to get them...
