The conversation delves into the complexities and resistances faced in the education sector, emphasizing the need for external motivations to drive meaningful change. It touches upon the roles of parents, teachers, and policymakers in shaping the school environment. A practical example is provided through the experiences of Luca Gaggoli, a school director who successfully implemented transformative measures in his school. Additionally, the significance of community engagement and cost-effective strategies to improve student outcomes is highlighted. The dialogue underscores the challenges and opportunities present in the education system and advocates for collaborative efforts to bring about positive transformations.

there are adventures that make your way to travel
that bring you far away, but close to your passions
why not live with your family on "For Spagen"
give me the right one in Italy
for all your adventures
"Scopy for Spagen" "Tichrosti" "Rocky" and "Tygo"
give 99 euros to the month with 5,000 euros of advantage
give 4 and 99 "Tigge" 6 and 53

we come from the historical and formidable victories
of the World Cup of Palla Volo
from part of the national Palla Volo Femminile
and therefore we come from days when we talk about
other than the plays of Trisius and also the coach of that national
"Cuglio Velasco"
but I have to tell you that even if you were not playing
the world Cup of Propri, few days ago I was preparing
this point of Wilson
I would have, however, thought
"Avelasco" to one thing that has said "velasco"
at a certain point talking about Palla Volo
but talking about the reality of all of us
a speech that Velasco made for the first time many years ago
but then it was citato, ericityato, eiriraccontato
the speech of Velasco on the Alibi
he tells him about a squadron of Palla Volo
in which the coach says that he can't kick well
because the coach did not kick well in the ball
and maybe in the right way the kick was brutal
but the coach says "but I can do it"
the speech was terrible but if I did not do well in the ball
I could not kick well in the ball
so he turns around to kick the coach
who was no one to be able to turn around
because I can say that the coach is of the adversary
who has served too well and too strong
and the only thing that can say is that maybe
I was afraid of the light of a reflector in the stick
and then Velasco ironing on the culture of the Alibi
he says "we understood that to play well in our squadron
we need to call the electricians"
and this story is the same time paradoxical and very real
and it doesn't only look at the Palla Volo
but it also looks at every expression of professional and not only of people
the culture of the Alibi
the idea that we could do something more
but we can't do it
for causes that do not depend on us
and give us the culture of the Alibi
this story does not prevent the Alibi from being inexistent
that is, those elements do not exist
the high point was to have a broken heart
the disappointment was to have a broken heart
I make an example that does not look at the Palla Volo
and look at our journalists
to be, let's say, the most honest possible with you
our journalists, when we talk about the problems, the limits
of the scale, the quality of the information
what do we say?
which depends on the fact that due to the Internet, the people
are used to read free news if they don't pay more for the news
so our agents will not be more salty
that social media have now all more stupid
of, however, less due to focus
to have attention on things
that the school does not work
it is a school that does not teach people the value of the information
it is a school that produces adults
that will not know how much is useful to inform
that the colossus of the digital are made with real competition
to editors
the list could continue
and attention is true, it is not said at least one thing is false
and this is because the conclusion should be made to arrive
to have a information that works
you need to first of all abolish the Internet
return to the previous situation
then you need to change radically the world of the school
then you need to pretend to put out the game,
to put the legal, all the colossus of the digital
Google, Meta, Amazon, etc., only at that point
we could have an information of quality
this is the culture of the Alibis
this is the type of mechanism that in the Palace and in the Journalism
we should avoid
saying that instead
ok, this is the reality
in front of all this
what can we do to change the situation
to work better a school of Palace
a newspaper
or so
and we come to the topic of today's point
how much money does it take?
but I am sure that this story of the Alibis
has spoken
or to make it work better
the school
because even when you talk about school
the story is full of
funds that are not enough
the teachers are not enough
the janitors are conservators
disinterested
protect their children
even when their children should be educated
they are no longer free to educate anyone
it is the demographic crisis
the scholastic deletions that are inadequate
also here the list is endless
and all these things are not false
but again
so we are taught
the idea that a school better can be
so much after changing all these huge things
so let's say
but we are sure that we are sure that it should be like this
and therefore to be more precise
in front of a national team
that is what we know
in front of the laws that are those that we know
of funds that are those that we know
being in such a situation
there are things
that in schools
in single institutions
they can change
and they can change even immediately
the answer is yes
and that's what I will tell you
during this point
if you think that this story
does not interest you
because you don't frequent the schools
because you don't have children
you don't want to have them
because if you are in a state
where the school is out of your lives
here
stop
because
respectively
I would like to tell you
that you are wrong
it is not rhetoric
technically
change the school
you want to say
change the world
Hi, welcome back
and welcome back to this
new episode of Wilson
we are in one of the two moments
of the year in which
a little bit of a bridge
is spoken of school
one is this
because the school year is starting
and started
is to start the region
for the region
and then it is spoken of only in these cases
of the problems of the school
the taught precarious
the taught that they don't find
the horaries gangered
of the first days of school
the people that don't get activated
etc.
then the other
a very brief workshop
between us
you talk a little bit of school
and that of the end of the year
school
the summer of maturity
a very brief moment of attention
almost never released
where
then the thing ends
and if you notice
the next September
then I would like to try
at least for the moment
look at this podcast
obviously in our little
for the moment
look at Wilson
not losing the opportunity
of this
attention
to take advantage
so to talk about the school
was to tell you
not
all the reasons
for which the school
will never change
all the things
that I would have to change
to change the school
and all the things
bigger than us
to talk about
how in front of the situation
that there is
the school
can change
and
more than to talk to you
to make it
to tell
to a person
who has done it
and is doing it
it is a person who lives
the school from the inside
who will tell us
of course
his point of view
and his story
but it is a story
that the same thing is said to be exemplary. This person is a school director,
obviously, he was a teacher for 30 years from 2012, he is a school director, he is called Luca Gaggoli,
he is the school director of the company "Born Acorso da Montemagno di Quarrata" in the province of Pistoia,
and it is interesting, in my opinion, that this is also a province institute,
because if we don't fall into the mistake of thinking that they are only in Milan, in Rome,
in the big cities, they can be ambitious projects, no, a comprehensive institute,
so the school of childhood, the primary school, secondary school, for more years like me,
that time when it was called "Materna School", term, "Ubersesista",
the elementary school of a time, the middle school of a time,
is a school director who does not only support that the school can change and can also change immediately,
who has done it in his school, who has changed the school that drives us and now we will tell you how.
Professor Gaggoli, thank you for being here, thank you for accepting our invitation.
Thank you to you for having an opportunity to talk about school, that is, you need it.
Look, I started from the speech I did a great deal about the resistance to the change,
which seems to us to see the new external servers in the school world.
You, instead of the school, we see it a lot from the internal and it is part of the internal.
It is an profound impression, an optical illusion, if there is where the resistance,
from what is caused by the resistance to the change of the school?
I am the parents, I am the teachers, I am the school teachers, as you would see,
and only the politics.
So I think that the answer, obviously, touches various factors.
The school is often touched by reforms that come from high without any consultation
and this has already caused a principle resistance.
Often they are also interventional from the high and obligatory to the change of forced changes
without the fact that there is a real consensus.
That is, the teacher lives in a condition in which he feels like,
a figure that does not have social relief, that he would like and I think he should also have.
And therefore, it instills a little mechanism in which he tends to remain in the comfort zone
to do what we have always done without putting ourselves together in the change.
But there is also another reason for that.
And that is precisely what has been taken into account in the first half of the youth.
That is, there is no confrontation with the school, that rejection, that sensibility
that should be constituted as a slightly external motivation.
No, because in life, you cannot tell yourself only on the inner motivation
because that is not all the year and not all the year from other levels.
We would also like the support of a motivation that comes from the external.
That is, the youth, the students, the students who help the students to make a school of greater equality.
These are not there.
And therefore, there are few institutions that contribute spontaneously to the attitude of researchers,
researchers, who, instead of the school where it should be, has always been lived.
Sometimes they have occasions, for example, in our school,
a large occasion has been the pandemic.
We found ourselves in front of this idea, that is, what can we do when we are going to resume?
We are going to resume like now.
It is not an opportunity to put into play all those satisfaction that they have
and see to transform them into something else.
Obviously, I am from 2012, so a long journey has already been done.
But the 2020 has been a bit of a reduction.
That is, as they say, they all run calmly.
At that point, the school is closed, and given that vision that we have generated,
the great challenge, characterized by some strong ideas,
which are those on which we then started to work in a decisive way.
One, each student must have a piano of personalizing studies.
For each student, they need to explore a school life that holds it in the state of gratitude for the performance.
That is, it is always motivated.
Three, they measure the success of our tactical and educational training,
based on the eyes of the students that shine.
Four, the professional community of the teachers,
learns to accompany, to drive, to train,
really to transform the environment of learning.
I also ask them to tell us a little bit about what they are doing here at the beginning.
But we were talking about the parents, and then I made a bit of the lawyer of the devil.
Three, because we find ourselves in one of those few periods of the year in which we talk about a bit of school.
This is also one of the periods of the year in which the parents tell us more,
for example, even in our days.
The way they meet again in which they work at school.
Clearly, there are great differences between the region and the region.
They are from a single institute, a single institute.
But in the testimonies that we collect from parents, friends, from our lives,
we hear from the first days of school with the lessons that start at the 9th,
because they put in a lot of engineering difficulties,
that end at 11.5 and not only for the first, but for the insurance.
The insurance that does not start at the beginning of October,
which in general is from a school, and this means from a state
that seems to ignore the needs of the families,
and then the parents ask them to be motivated more often.
"Why do you do this?"
We say that from the top, from the center, from the region,
from the level of the single school that could organize itself better,
but they don't do it.
The beginning of the year is always an adventure.
Every year, let's say, let's see if the next year,
the school will manage to start with a bit of tranquility,
with the time to organize everything for good,
and this is currently lacking.
If you had to look at the past,
I would say that things are very improved.
Surely, compared to the time in which the school I was following
as a student, but also when I was following it as a teacher.
Today, apart from the primary school,
which has not been catastrophic of teaching,
that is, there are no laureates of science,
of training sufficient to cover necessary positions.
So apart from the primary school,
that every year comes on 15 September,
and we have to do the accounts with a certain number of teachers
who are obliged to do the oral reduction,
for the rest, I see that this year,
we will do an oral reduction
in the middle school of one hour a day,
the first week is enough.
So these needs are very reduced.
For me, it is a software,
also the oral reduction of the lessons.
Who are your interlocutors in this difficulty?
If there is something that can't be found in schools,
there is something that can't be found in schools.
That is, there is no need to look at the number of students,
nor the number of students.
So here we are talking about a mechanism
that should be done that will arrive in September,
with a complete and available organ.
All the years are starting before the restrictions,
because that's the way it is,
not to have indispensable data,
to calculate the needs.
However, despite the restrictions beginning before,
then it is often found in this situation at the beginning.
That is, we, in February, know what the organ is.
Then they then ask for the transfer,
and therefore it must be expected that everything will be finished,
the transfer of the teachers,
then the assignments of the teachers,
then the names of the role,
that we have arrived at August.
Then they begin to make the invocations of the subjects
from the provincial graduates
and arrive to these days.
In these days they are making the names
from the provincial graduates.
Finish the names from the provincial graduates,
you do a little bit of the point.
How many places are still able to cover?
And there they are open to the very difficult perspectives,
because at that point the school will find the staff,
between the graduates itself and the students,
and then the students of all the students.
And then again, through that other form,
prevists from the circle that I did not tell you,
because if not all of them individually,
they are really difficult to understand
who is not within this system.
Complicated by the teachers,
they require long time,
and it is finished that they arrive at the 15th of September.
And something else, some post votes.
This is one of the questions,
let's say, I describe this process
that seems to have the strength, let's say,
that is, the insurable work of the Crazia,
that is, first you do this, then you do this,
then you do this, then you do this.
And at the end, the problem remains,
which, as we call it, for the famous amateur,
on the intervention, is perfectly successful,
but the patient is dead.
I would obviously have to think about the process
for the whole, but this is one of those things
on which, of course, the school leaders,
have the school to be able to limit themselves
if they are not in need.
And this does not matter for me to do a step forward,
because in the history,
I found very interesting how to proceed
from what changes, or that does not change,
at the national level, at the national level,
of great legislative and normative movements,
bureaucratic approach, the single school
and the single leaders have of the army,
certainly not to worry about everything,
but to work better at school,
to irrigate a better service,
to be more useful.
And it would ask for this to tell us
some of these things.
I'm looking at another great question,
which reminds me, then every year,
which are the average average of the school,
having a school for every average,
always.
I did it.
Many other schools make it, of course,
but I have to tell you about your experience,
how to do, what to do,
how much it costs,
when things like this start.
With a precise answer,
you can do something.
No, I can do a lot of things.
Because, anyway, the autonomy of the single schools
can be put in the political context,
we know in the social context,
we have a bit enunciated and so on,
with a lot of things.
So, you can open the school in the community.
Obviously, you talk about it in this case,
especially in the secondary school,
because primary schools, normally,
at least in our territory,
are almost almost all at the same time.
So, they do eight hours a day.
In secondary school, you can open the community,
you can do it.
You have to do it.
How do you do it?
You work with the local department,
which, for the primary school,
is the community.
The community department.
What does it serve?
It serves to create the conditions
to remove the obstacles,
which is the field that leads us to the constitution.
It gives all students the opportunity
to develop their autonomy
and their responsibility,
to make them feel at home,
to make them protagonists.
I wonder how much it costs.
It doesn't cost anything.
That is, we didn't cost anything,
and as we did in a way,
it's absolutely irreplaceable.
So, I think it wouldn't cost anything for anyone,
because it doesn't cost anything.
Do you explain the trick?
Yes, the trick is this.
Each community has a location in balance
for the activities of educational and social activities.
There was the community around,
at the end of 2012,
there was always a purpose.
What happened?
The school was met with the community,
so I, with social services,
and all those sources
that the community used
for educational and social activities.
What do we say?
Let's explain what the activities are.
Social activities are those interventions
of school, educational,
educational,
revolting on those guys
of the most fragile families
that have difficulty
to manage the children.
So, all the communities
of resources to act these interventions.
At the end of 2012,
the community spent these soldiers
to follow about 20 students
of our territory.
It's enough that these resources
made the choice
to bring them inside the school.
That is,
not more of the services outside the school,
that were certainly more costous
and not only
also, socially,
they increased a stigma
in the confrontations of these guys.
Those are the groups of those
that go to the village
in that area.
We brought these resources
inside the school
and, so,
to the students
of social services,
with the same resources.
There are also students
of the school,
so,
the students,
simply,
from class studies.
The school,
we have been able to open
at the end of the 18th and 30th
every day,
without spending
anything,
simply using
the personal service.
Simply allowing
ecustods,
or scholastic workers
to make
a recupero,
esitivo delle ore
that made them
extraordinary
to go to the 18th and 30th.
And that is,
the school is open
to everyone,
not only the guys
and the families
more fragile.
Once it is opened,
it provides
services, courses,
activities,
all kinds.
This is the beauty,
that this has become
a new starting point
of the institute.
It has allowed,
just a different vision,
both the intervention
of social services,
both of those
that are
the intervention,
rather specifically
to allow
to set up
new activities
in this area,
to allow
a contamination,
from
what is the staff
that works
with students
the morning,
the teachers,
and the staff
that work in the village,
that is,
the educators
of the cooperative,
that has
made part
of this work
of the project.
It is not a person,
so the contractor,
the community,
to open the contract
to the cooperative,
to put them in the school,
and these people
do not work anymore,
otherwise,
it is a partner
of all this.
That is,
the work has been
built together
in a triangulation,
the community,
the cooperative,
the school.
To put them in order,
of a medium-sized activity,
at that point,
open to everyone.
Here, there are
activities
of recovery,
activity of potency,
laboratories
on communication,
and photography courses,
cinema,
computer,
theater.
And so,
precisely,
the school
is rampied
but it has become
a extraordinary
content,
because,
it was enough
to enter and agree that,
but, there were,
at any time,
about
150 students,
or even
200
of the media,
caught up in
some activities.
What is another
aspect to these
concrete changes,
I know that you have
done in your institute,
and that you have
told us.
The Aule,
which is one of the things
that you can remember,
that you have
spent a long time in a school,
so everyone,
there are all the
decisions of the case,
but, often,
the Italian schools,
and the various schools
that the Italian is a
little dissent.
And so, in the result,
the Aules are
of the broken,
sad,
insecure,
on the face
of the lighting,
of the acoustics,
they are not
the changes
that make me
angry here,
to live that experience.
You have
changed the Aules.
You tell us
how,
you have changed it,
and how it is,
we have changed it,
in two times,
let's say,
the first one was
to develop the idea
of the Aules
of the discipline.
That is, instead of having
the class of Aula,
where it goes,
second B,
there are the Aules
for the discipline.
So, Aules,
where it was to do Italian,
where it was to do history,
where it was to do mathematics,
arts,
technology, science, et cetera.
And there is a space
between one and the other,
without the fact
that the world
can be done.
The classes
are divided
with great advantages.
Great advantages.
The Aula
is prepared
in the most functional way,
so,
what you have to worry about
is also because
the students can
leave in the Aula
the materials,
the tools that serve them,
they do not travel with eight portions
to bring together
everything they need.
The guys
find a situation
much more stimulant.
It is expected
a bit of the passivity
of the students
that are there
in the banking,
to expect the students
of their success,
which is often the moment
where they do
small vandalism.
The students move,
the movement,
we know it,
but,
a bit of the research
and of course,
another positive
factor
is that they move
all the hours,
because then there are
blocks of hours,
so in a morning,
they move
two or three times
in the morning.
It induces
the behaviors
normally more
respectful
and then
they make it say,
that is,
they talk about
a school
of the first century,
which is, as an object,
autonomy
and responsibility.
But we
have to give
a bit of autonomy
and a bit of responsibility
to our students.
It is clear that
these guards
will never be reached.
The autonomy
and the responsibility
that we have given to students
has always been
simply
propagated.
Then,
the classes become
more beautiful,
yes,
something can be done,
some characteristics
that have been given before,
unfortunately,
are structural.
The most important
are two,
one is the acoustics,
in an environment
in which the element
that is used
is the voice,
which will have
the acoustics
well different
from those
from the second
is the acclimatization, right?
There is
in all public offices,
but no one
has asked the problem
to make it exist
even inside the schools.
So, these
difficulties are there,
but also here,
if the guards
were like
twelve years ago,
and those
that are today,
we have passed
from a coffee shop,
we are,
to a palace.
Here, let's say,
with a certain price.
What is the
"scolastic civil servant"
that forms
in his institution?
The "scolastic civil servant"
is something that exists
only for how many people
know about our institution.
This is also
born,
and this is an aspect
for me,
it is fundamental.
It is born thanks to the fact
that some students
are feeling
free
to manifest a desire.
Since the students,
as I said before,
we have
to do the students
with their mask
from students,
they will do
the minimum
indispensable
to be exposed
and not having a problem.
At the moment
we give them
the opportunity
to understand
that this school
is
their home,
where they prepare
their life,
where they must
live their life
fully.
What is the success?
It is a success
that one day,
two students,
from second to medium,
will tell me
that they were interested
in voice and activity
involuntary,
but that they cannot
do it yet
and they told me,
if they could
do a practice
of civil servant.
They wanted to dedicate
the free time
to the school.
Here, we have immediately
an exhibition.
After a few months,
we have participated
with this experiment,
founded,
on our view on
the second home
of Article 4
of the Constitution,
which is why,
they all have the duty
to evolve,
second,
the possibility
of the purpose,
an activity,
or a function
that competition,
material and spiritual
of society.
What is the success?
What is the success?
What is the success?
All students,
classes for classes,
will be released,
and will decide
an activity
that they want to do
to act
the mandatory
pre-visit
in our institute,
to do, at least,
six hours
extra-school
service
of the community.
They can be
at the school's service
or even
at the territory's service.
Six hours
for every year
school,
obligatory.
So, every class
will be released,
choose the type of
service they want to do,
and then,
in the course of the year,
they create a
whole program
to make everyone
active.
It is said that
2,700 hours
of civil service
that come
once in a year.
Of course,
students
have to be organized
groups,
they have to be
an adult,
so they have
a teacher,
the organization is
extremely complex.
However,
the result is
to see that
these guys
are open to
a fundamental dimension
that
to retain
the knowledge
of something
to serve,
and this is
the fundamental message.
We talked about
the activity
with the main
activity of the school.
Let's do a step
in that direction.
In the course,
I wanted to ask
if there is
a role
of students
even in that sense.
There are not only
subjects that receive
information
and are
receiving the activity
but
a form of
peer-education,
of frappare instructions,
if it can be
and if you have
something similar.
At some point, we have
realized that
within the school,
using those
spaces a bit dead, right?
from the corridor,
from the tree,
they were formed
during the morning,
groups of students,
in which
one student
made a choice
to other students.
Maybe, simply,
because the teacher
had asked
to do this, right?
So, I said,
look, go, go,
on this good thing, you will be able to explain it to you. So, it is also a way to respond.
And then, I decided to
structure it
to give it a form.
So, today,
there are
children in the school
who are able to do
all of them,
they have the availability,
an hour, two hours,
weeks, an hour,
and who needs,
who needs to have
the need.
Simply,
it is written.
And that day,
it is found,
it makes two students
in a predisposed position
inside the school,
and, together,
it makes an activity
of learning,
which we know very well,
it is important for the teacher,
but it is very important,
even for the teacher,
it is a form
of educational support
and efficiency,
easy to learn.
But, above all,
it helps the society,
creating new relationships
inside the school.
It is no longer
that school in which I,
my relationship
with my 20 classmates,
started to open
because, maybe,
I chose that tutor,
simply because,
it was the material
that I wanted to do,
but, I don't even know who
is, at the moment,
in which I go,
and I know it.
Within a school,
as I always say,
there is the whole world.
It is the last
period of human life,
in which,
what will happen
to Harvard,
and what will
need to be taken
a little bit to get
out of the diploma,
is not the same distance.
It makes the same things,
it can be
with banks of banks,
it ends
in the third half,
usually,
then, these strategies
are made,
you know,
if you will find it.
But, in the school,
there is the whole world,
and, if we don't understand
that there is this wealth,
that tends to be
valued,
I believe that,
let's lose
the great occasions,
and, above all,
let's make money
to our future.
Let's see,
Volkswagen T-Cross,
Tiroc and Taiko,
99 euros per month,
with 5,000 euros
of sales,
with a total of 49,000 tags,
6,503.
24 months,
a total of 5,300 euros,
20,000 km,
after two years,
it can be replaced,
replaced or sold
at 19,000 euros,
until 30 September,
2025.
Let's see
the signals,
which are, then,
actually, a piece,
completely secondary,
even compared to
the date activity.
Again,
it turns to the question
of the memory,
that the adults have
in their school,
as it was done today,
but here it is.
How should the school
be taught,
in 2025?
In what way,
if, when it is,
how should
the activity
act,
teach it a discipline?
Here,
we are there,
with a person in class,
who speaks of the people
who listen to it,
for an hour,
for two hours,
could you imagine,
did you imagine
something different?
Well,
I believe that,
there is no research
international,
which is not under the line,
that the fundamental role
for the improvement
of the school
is the quality
of the teachers.
This is,
of course,
what the school does,
is the one
that falls every day
there,
within the class.
That changes the life
of the people.
And so, in any way,
the world,
who, of us,
does not remember
the teachers
that, in any way,
for him,
was a significative person,
who,
who had the luck
more than one,
who had the luck
more than one,
but that one,
almost all
had.
If you don't do school,
if you don't build
a real professional
community of the teachers.
And this is
the biggest work
of all,
the most important,
because the biggest resource
that we have.
I always say
that,
the biggest obstacle
often is
to believe
to know
what I have to do.
I say
that,
in the other places of work,
when one comes
who is
at work,
but what I have to do?
Well,
I,
12 years old,
who does the press,
no one,
and, from us,
they come every year
of teachers,
they come
unfortunately,
or, fortunately,
at least
50, 60,
of teachers
every year.
I have never
entered one
by saying
to them,
but, I,
what I have to do,
in particular,
now that I have
come to do the teacher.
I know.
I know.
We think
to know.
I have already been
from the other part
of the cathedral.
And so,
they have already
entered
a school idea
of a cathedral,
some children
of banks,
a record,
a test book,
they know that they
will have to
explain,
so they say.
And then,
interrogate,
what is to know
yet?
And therefore,
we proceed
through these
common places.
The result is,
that often,
we have this
extraordinary ability
to get out,
to annoy the students,
also,
teaching music,
art,
science,
poetry,
poetry.
So,
here,
it is clear that,
it needs to work
in a different way.
Therefore,
with what is
the great richness
of which, in addition to
the teacher,
the discipline of
teaching.
It is an exceptional resource
and too often,
instead,
is used
in a way
very stimulant.
I always say
to the teachers,
"You remember
how your passion
was born,
for the discipline
you now have
the fortune of teaching."
It is probably
born because,
you have read
a beautiful monograph
on something,
you have
found a significant
testimony,
you have found
a good patient
who has done
to make
the heart
of this discipline.
It has been an experience
that is invulgent.
This is what
you have to do.
As you have discovered
the beauty of the language,
the mathematics,
the science,
the art,
and you have also
the fortune
to become
a possibility
of this beauty.
Here,
the students.
The contrary,
of all this,
is to take a test book
and read it in class.
No one will fall in love
with a discipline,
trample the reading
of a test book.
I don't want to say
that they don't serve
the test book,
they serve,
they have a function,
but they serve,
as a map,
when,
I have a discipline,
I have
made myself
in a way
on the law.
When
I discovered
something that
fascinated me
and then
I also come
to see the test book,
because I need
to square
that thing I discovered.
But,
it won't be the test book
to make me fall in love.
And then I have to
put into account
all those actions
to prepare the lessons
building
the learning unit
that
they gain
the interest
of each student,
that they can
achieve
significant objectives,
that they make
to accept
the breach
of the encounter
with the beauty,
they stimulate
the collaboration
and generate
questions.
I also want to say
to personalize
a lot
the curriculum
within the students.
It is
in addition to
that we have
this great
potential
and some students
can also
find
more interesting
to be
with other people.
I do this
in my childhood
and do the teaching.
I always say
"How come
this student
you have painted
so little
motivated
without saying
to the juniors
that, when
the juniors
do not see
to go
to the juniors.
It is possible.
If you run
to the juniors
with enthusiasm,
you do not offend
the juniors.
But
something
a bit more
annoying
of the science,
of the art,
of the music.
How is it possible
that
the student
will say to them,
"It is just a pathology
of school.
If you
would like to do the
juniors
or maybe we have understood
that I have to do this.
And then
the juniors
would run the juniors
to the lesson
on the subordinates,
the subordinates
and the propositions
of the juniors.
Today
they explain
they explain
the subordinates
and the juniors
probably.
So, it seems
that a pathology
is a way
to provoke them,
to reflect them,
to understand
what is
the great potential
we have.
Naturally,
also the motivation
of the teachers,
is to be something
that we work
to build them.
In fact, I have to ask them
as they do,
to motivate
the teachers,
to give
that passion,
which I can also
be lost,
because,
as the only thing
I do not do,
I am not paid enough.
I am not the last
consideration
of the society
and the juniors themselves.
This requires
a daily work.
A daily work
of listening,
of transmission,
of values,
requires
to put in feet
formative,
first of all,
of the formative path,
we want
a ethical rigor,
in the practice,
we want
to be the first to enter,
and the last to exit the school.
Having always
the open door,
we need to find
always
for whatever
needs,
and then we begin
to build
that idea
that allows you,
then,
the vision
that allows you
to be able
to exigere,
because we know it.
You can exigere
from the others,
only when
you exigere
even more than yourself.
When you listen
to the school,
it's essential.
That's what opens
to possible worlds.
You try to understand,
how
with those teachings,
you can
wherever you want
for the motivation,
and then,
also for formsative courses.
We were talking about
the difficulties
in everyday life,
in the work of the teachings,
which can be
a obstacle
to have this type of motivation,
and it could be told
about how to become a community,
to help solve these difficulties,
or to make them less heavy.
One of the biggest challenges
that is facing the school,
in these years,
is to make the counting
with a community of students,
more and more heterogeneous
and diverse
on the cultural side,
on the religious side,
on the ethnic side,
on the ethnic side,
the same knowledge
of the Italian language,
the first ones said,
"The voice, the instrument,
which we use for the data,
which is the assumption
that we understand each other,
but it's not always hidden,
especially in the first schools."
Your territory is a territory
of immigration, right?
Immigration is also Chinese, for example,
it was told about the Chinese community
as one of the most complex and delicate
to integrate,
which kind of challenge
was this way of feeling for you,
as you faced it?
If you had the curiosity to see
where the map looked,
you remember
that it was at the end
exactly the opposite.
Of course, we have to do the counting
with a Chinese immigration
especially the last ten years,
very, very consistent.
Naturally, we can't do
a consideration
as if Chinese immigrants
could be a category.
We have less than 100 Chinese students in the school.
And, of course, they also present
a varied world,
because there are those of families
who, however,
want to integrate
the kids in the environment
in which they are now,
and there are those
for no reason motivated,
that they feel,
that they send the kids to school
only because,
for having legal problems,
for the rest,
these kids, unfortunately,
are left out of school,
do not relate to other Chinese kids.
This is the challenge
that we have had to face
in the last ten years.
I immediately say that
we have made sure
a lot of mistakes
and failures.
But we have continued to try.
And today,
I have to say,
it's one of the aspects
that gives us more satisfaction.
Being successful,
putting together
several resources,
a cultural mediator
and linguist
very, very good
and prepared,
one that has, in short,
to understand
their personal cell phone,
the phone
of all Chinese families
is good at school.
I had the opportunity
to have
teachers
of the secondary
who have
the specific diploma
for the teaching
of the Italian
as the second language.
And so, we have
been able to put
a lot of strategy.
I say two.
One is, obviously,
the classes
are the two,
so that's the one
to do Italian,
in an intensive way,
to the students
who do not know
the Italian language,
or who
are the first students.
But the decisive passage
was the Constitution
of those that we call
"Gruppi tandem"
that is,
"Gruppi"
of students,
Chinese students,
and students,
"Italophones"
may be Italian,
or other ethnicities,
but, anyway,
they speak the Italian language.
Because we understood
that if we were not able
in a certain way,
a breach of motivation,
we could also
continue to do
10 hours of Italian
to the day
of these Chinese students.
We didn't produce any of them.
No.
So, we played this card,
we played it in times,
even in times
activities that were
purely creative,
but they gave them
where to be together
with the "Italophones"
and they gave them
in some way
the motivation
of where to express themselves.
Here we started
to reach
a few results.
And today we have
from the Chinese students
that do not only come to school,
but participate
in the public activities,
and they are present
in any type of activity
that the school proposes.
And before I said,
there are so many things
that the single schools
can do,
they can also
change,
let's say,
if the national
situation,
the narrative
remains as it is,
it is correct to say,
"No, there are so many things,
there are so many things,
there are so many things,
there are so many things,
then there are surely
other schools,
which are the only
schools
that have tried
experimented,
made
certainly.
But the question
depends on them.
It's a question
of the scenario
of the single
of the school
of inventing
something,
of availability,
of availability
to run risks,
I don't know what type,
but what happens?
From having the fortune
of finding
a school director
and entrepreneur.
If I say
a little yes,
it happens,
because in the school
of autonomy,
the school director
has a really
important role,
attention,
a important role,
if exercised
those who are
their functions,
those of a
guide
from the point of view
administrative,
gestional,
which is a complete
course
that is taught.
If exercised
also that is
another function,
that is,
the guide
of data
and educational,
which sometimes
is forgotten,
sometimes we are
trying to
forget it,
because
all the other
convinces.
And as
the other convinces
are also
often accompanied
by risks
for the responsibility
that they are
in a school director
and of course
it can happen
the guide role
also
for how many
aspects
educative and
dodgy.
So a little yes,
it must be said,
not because
if there is not
the director,
it cannot be
done,
but it is clear that the
director has to
at least
accompany the
experimentation
and research.
There is
a research director
who,
in schools,
is becoming
sacred,
because it is
preferring
the one I call
the ordinary
maintenance.
That is,
it works well,
things, but quite well,
even quite well.
I called it
the school
of the distance,
the one we have
to fight.
The school
works quite well,
and this is one of the
reasons
for which
no one
is in discussion,
a little
about its roots,
what do you do
in a plot?
Something
is also
adapted,
something is put
away, something
should be bought
again, but with the spirit
of a plot that is not
made because they have
scattered us.
A plot that we do,
because we have
found a better place,
where we want to go to
live, a better place,
and as in a plot,
everyone can
give it a hand,
everything has something to do,
everything has a
goal to evolve.
We need to build
this, if we want,
to take
a change,
that is
difficult.
I am very
very concerned about the
relationship
and the law that,
evidently, there is,
a little bit,
we have
already seen in this
our conversation.
Its description,
even though
it is high,
from the school
and from what it should be,
that it could be done,
and the translation
of these things
is not
in the single
projects, but also
in the districts,
in the north,
in Valburo-Krazia,
in the various
levels of laws
and procedures
of which we need
to be aware.
It is also a theme
that is linked to
the question of the
responsibility of the
school district,
which we did a few times,
and risks to this
connection.
And that is why I
wanted to ask if we
will tell you about the
judiciary, which is a
certain point in return,
which has become a story
that has also been told
in the local crowns,
from its parts,
an indictment,
and a suspension,
we will tell you
what happened,
and what this story is.
In February
this year,
I received
the view
for a series
of presentations
created.
And the 5th of March,
and there are those
that we will remember
really for many years,
the GIP
is a decree
of this suspension,
from my
school district
function,
for 6 months.
I will not
tell you
how much it was
traumatic for me,
and I also believe
for the school.
What was the
present
that I would have
committed?
Regarding the
questions
of names
of the teachers.
I tell you
with a single sentence,
but I think
the sentence contains
many words
that for those who
are not
in, they will not be easy.
According to the question
I will have
transferred
the ministerial circle
on the subplates.
So, in February
in those years,
today has changed.
So, of course,
it didn't work,
if they had
gone up to the top.
But I will have
transferred this
ministerial circle
that had
candidly
with a
fashion
to teach
in school,
to those teachers
in some
provincial graduates
for the subplates.
I will
be the king
of having
controlled the
questions
presented.
So,
according to me that these
were students
of the graduates,
and have given
them, therefore,
in charge,
also to the teachers.
I wouldn't have
had the requisites
to present the
question.
Now, I can't
enter the marriage
for two reasons.
One is that,
the visa is still
in court.
So, I don't
have the opportunity
to express
publicly,
a little too,
because I also
have the opportunity
to explain
to people
who are not
experts
of this sector,
who are
significant details.
One thing
that I can
refer to is
that the two
leaves, so
after four months
of suspension,
an application
of the tribal
exam,
has cancelled the
decree of the GIP.
So,
it's not that
I ran the suspension.
And so,
my suspension
was cancelled.
According to the
tribal exam,
they didn't
find out. In fact,
I have
contested
the Qualification
of the rules.
So, I entered
after two
of July, I entered
school.
These four
months have
obviously
taken me
deeply, but
I got
well thanks
to what was
the effect,
the vicinity.
The sustain.
You are right,
because I don't want
to tell you,
that there was
a strong
position of the students,
of the community,
of the school,
of the teachers,
of the parents.
I said it to the post
on that,
which is a lot of
suspension,
a lot of suspension
of what you have done
in these years,
which has been present,
has also been
a mediatic of the story
of this story,
which is
evident
as, at least
a external observer,
then the justice
will do its job.
The situation was
"cafchiana",
and it was
actually a cake.
But,
at the school,
at the institute,
at the whole community.
And then,
when we were talking about
the protagonist
of the relatives,
of the relatives,
I don't want to be
incomprehensible,
that it is made
to understand
literally
full of acronyms,
and norms,
that contradicts,
and circulations,
and so on.
Even without doing
anything illegal,
you are accused.
Even without doing anything
illegal,
you are able to do it,
maybe,
because the law is not clear,
it is difficult,
effectively,
to move
to the protagonist,
not in a context like this.
It is very difficult.
It is very difficult,
but when
we are taken
from the passion for the school,
the proof is this,
that we don't even think about it.
That is,
I remember when I did
those choices,
that now
I have been tested.
I knew that I had to
send in class
of the people,
of the teachers,
because,
I wanted to sleep the night.
And to think that,
the guys
had given me the best possible
I didn't want to sleep.
Why do they lie to me
about these things?
Because,
look at the guys,
their dreams,
their needs,
those eyes that have
that are waiting for us,
from our adults,
often they find
inside the school,
of the adult figures,
and
they manifest clearly
their needs.
And that, at the end,
becomes something
that ends up
prevailing on everything.
That is what
gives you the motivation,
and that on which
you build
the relationships.
I didn't think
of running the risk,
it's clear.
It is,
I thought for a moment,
that I am
doing something
I didn't expect,
absolutely.
It was
an operation, let's say,
quite standard
of what I was doing.
And so,
it was really
a nightmare
unexpected.
But,
here,
if there is something
that has had
the result,
that has reinforced,
the legumes,
from me,
the teachers,
the students,
the teachers.
By taking advantage
of the fact that this conversation
is helping us
perhaps
to take a piece
of that ignorance
that we have
outside,
respect to people
who, as it is,
work inside the school,
I have to say,
now,
something more concrete,
respect to things
that we,
ignorance,
speak frequently,
or speak in this period,
for example,
is one of the stories
of these weeks,
the divinity
of the cellulars.
The divinity
of the cellulars
in the school,
for another system
but,
this government
has reinforced it,
the impression
is done, what do you think?
But, here,
you can see that
it has already been avoided.
The big difference,
that, within the schools,
sometimes,
is going back
to the personal divice,
i.e.
the smartphone,
because,
they wanted to do
the activities,
the intervention
of the minister said,
"It has also been avoided
for the use of data."
Well,
it has already been avoided,
I think
the same result
could also be obtained
by pointing out
the responsibility
of the students.
In our school,
already,
for years,
you can see that,
if a student
takes the cellulary to school,
it comes to be kidnapped,
and replaced
by the janitor.
But, it is not that
it passes the days
to be kidnapped,
I think
it could also be obtained
by pointing out
the sense
of responsibility,
without need
of an absolute divice.
And, how much,
it is necessary,
on which there is
this ballot,
what we call
"maturedismaturity",
then "maturedismaturity",
then "maturedismaturity",
we change the rules
on the tests,
we change the things
that we do not understand
from outside,
as substantial,
but there is a lot of passion
throughout the course
on the "maturedismaturity".
I have been trying to say
that what we call
"maturedismaturity" is important
in the exams,
the adults tell us,
they live as a passageway,
but then,
at the end of the year
of the school,
unfortunately,
it is not so important,
but, you say,
it is wrong,
and how do you think it is?
It is difficult to learn
on maturedismaturity
because, as it is,
for 13 years,
I chose to work
in a comprensive,
so, we have
another exam,
we call "maturedismaturity",
and that is the term
of the first cycle of destruction.
Yes.
It is the "maturedismaturity",
and it can be said.
That is, it does not come,
it is not only the case of the value of the value of the "maturedismaturity".
This is the "maturedismaturity".
There is not a song,
it is sold on the same page.
No, no, no, no, no.
No one considers it.
And we have done the work
I have put in place,
in this case.
That is, we have said,
but how is it possible
that a exam that comes,
almost all students
have spent
in our institute
11 years,
11 years,
fundamental
of the school and formative.
11 years.
And we,
at an event
of this genre,
no visibility,
no attention,
no consideration,
no merit to be
a bit damaged
with a certain importance,
and also a bit celebrated.
And those children
came from us,
we had three years,
and we were taught
at 14.
There are some
of their responsibilities,
gigantic,
enormous.
What we have done,
will leave a sign.
It will make sense
to spend
the curiosity,
creativity,
to shine the eyes,
or to leave them
apathetic.
And then,
we are asked,
let's see,
this ritual,
of the state exam,
of third media.
One of the things,
less considered
more curious
of human existence.
And it was like that.
That is,
we know these guys,
we accompanied them,
they grew up
for 11 years,
and we do not know
what to do,
questions about
the third media program.
That is,
the same questions
that we have made,
until a few days before,
in the village,
after 11 years,
we are welcoming them
in a small distance,
but with the banks,
and everything,
without giving them
a minimum of,
even in emphasis,
in this event.
And then, what has been done,
to the post of this test,
especially,
to the oral test,
a standardised
and pulverous test,
we have made it
become a kind of challenge,
in their confronts,
in their disposal.
So, we have said,
you have 15 minutes of time.
And this is the end of the beginning
of the year,
yes.
We also know,
from the previous years,
on that day,
we will give them
15 minutes of time
to prepare
a their disposal,
a their product.
They will be able to choose
what they want,
but they will have to
be able to see
that they have been able
to put together
knowledge,
they have been able
to work,
they have been able to present,
in a nice environment,
different from the village,
in which,
in a way,
they also learn
a little more from a point of view,
also the reason,
but also the satisfaction
of being an environment,
that is,
it feels a little important
at the moment.
Here,
in the areas of things
that have left them
stupid.
In many cases,
we have said,
"But we,
it is 11 years,
but we know this,
guys."
But we have ever
imagined that they could
be like this,
at the moment,
we leave them free,
and we give them space
to get out of that,
what they want.
I understand that,
every point of Wilson
was telling a good news,
even to prepare
a little to try
to prepare
a complicated moment,
complicated for the world,
complicated for everyone,
the idea that
things can't go wrong.
And school is one
of the places
where we often
make this kind of account.
I really want
to ask them
if they want
to replace me
and I want to ask them
if they tell us,
if they can
give us a good news
on the school.
There will be,
at least, a good news
on the school.
But the school
is a good news.
The important thing is
to believe that
this value
is worth it.
Because we,
every day,
have two
incompatible evidence.
Those who say,
"The school is
messing with our future."
That is,
the school is
the one that will prepare
the future,
that will make us
a better future
and the other,
instead,
that they show,
at least,
that the school
does not care about anything.
But,
the most positive message
that I feel
is possible.
Everything is possible
in the world of the school.
We can
be difficult,
how many we want.
Difficulties of all types,
a bureaucracy,
the scarcity of resources.
I know that
when I arrived,
12 years ago,
there was still
some teachers
who responded to the signatures.
That is,
the school is poor.
The school
does not have resources
to justify
the lack of something, right?
I remember
you said it immediately.
The school is poor
because what?
There are some projects
that you have proposed
and that we can not
realize
because the school is poor.
When this happens,
you will see the reason.
For now,
the idea is not
the economic resources.
And the economic resources
have never been
missing.
I have never
to renounce
a project
for the lack of resources.
So,
what I want to say is that
everything is possible.
It is possible
to translocate,
so to go
in a different place.
It is possible
to personalize
the curriculum
and personalizing
the curriculum
to always have
the motivation
of students
to make the eyes
as you have never
become
a bit of this expression
that
you have never
used, a bit all
here, inside.
It is possible
to realize things
that
change
hard, because there are
soft changes.
And there are
soft changes.
The difference is this.
The soft changes
are those
that look
something that is added
to the life of the school.
Let me give you an example.
What I did at the beginning,
when we talked about
between socioducatives, right?
There is the opening
of the school in the village.
Everyone agrees.
What is the context
of this genre?
Citizens
are very happy.
They have no support.
They change
something in their life
of the teachers.
If they want, no.
If they add,
it is a service
that they add.
I call art
those, instead
that involve
all the teachers
both in a
work of projection
and in activity
that
if it is going to be seen,
they are not
attributed to the part.
But they become
in some way
part of their
size,
even if
they do not
transform
the articulation
of curricular activities.
Prevent
a struggle
of the life of the school.
Modify the
work of service.
They really introduce
the possibilities
to personalize the curriculum.
These
are art changes.
And we, one of
these, we have done
a few years ago.
And they are
elective courses.
That is, for them,
it is part of the curriculum
in our school,
which,
three hours
weekly,
the students follow
the courses
that they have chosen.
But they chose
between these 50
that the teachers
and everyone
had to do.
It was not
a voluntary thing,
a project
of those who
did not do everything
that they had to
organize a course,
based on
their passion.
The guys have
chosen
on the basis of their interest.
And we have
the knowledge
that, according to
extraordinary things,
well, there are
more classes.
There are
first, second and third
that, based
on the interest,
they are going to follow
a certain course.
That course is
taught by the teacher
that, finally,
in front of you,
a group of students
who want to do
that specific thing.
Because it is
their interest.
And the teacher
chose that course,
because it is something
that affects them.
So, a situation
that says, but they are
only three hours
weekly.
It is true.
But they are
three hours,
in short,
they do not
take part in the curriculum.
And then they serve
to provoke
that is,
what we do
are more passionate
of the average
day.
Because we do not
always do it.
And you can do it.
You can do all this.
You can do it
with the awareness
that, really,
within the students,
there is
this research
that tends
to be
valued.
And, really,
there are
obstacles.
All of this
must be understood.
If we do not do it,
it is because,
in some way,
we are a bit
injured,
a bit tired,
a bit
used to our comfort zone.
But I can
say, you should
do the problem.
I can say,
that the comfort is
true.
And, when you feel
that you have
given to these guys,
the best
that can be done.
And then,
this is really
the comfort.
And that is what makes
good.
Thank you very much,
thank you for
telling us everything.
[Music]
Well, it is pointed
perhaps a little longer
than the others,
but it can be used
at least for the majority
of the others.
You know that Wilson
changes the topic
and changes the topic
at every point.
So, it also
lasted each point,
trying every time
to illuminate
a different topic,
which is
the policy
of new farms
and the world of school,
the meat
is used.
I think I am
talking about school,
to listen to Professor Gajoli.
He also thought
of giving us the good news
and that good news.
The good news
with which we
say, every point
of Wilson, to me
is not to say
that if you think
that this point
can be interested
in someone
and one of those points
that make me say
"but who doesn't
interested in the school?"
I see that,
changing the school
changes the world.
Well,
consider this point
in turn.
Turn the link

can be interested in
Wilson's speech,

on the post app.
Or, anyway,
listen to the podcast.
If you want to
write to me,
instead you can

Bye!
