We believe if at every level of change we act with and implement these three principles, we will reimagine education.
S FE SPACES FOR VO CE
We believe that a safe space is a place where I can be who I am and say what I believe. Equally, it is a space where I practice listening to what others say without judgment and valuing others for who they uniquely are. Safe spaces can look like honest conversations, circles of dialogue and listening, and classrooms where mistakes are integral stepping stones to learning.
Where have we seen our Kids and Educator create and participate in safe spaces?
KIDS AND EDUCAT RS
We believe that partnership in education is where educators and students listen to and learn from each other. It shifts control and decision making from being in the hands of the adult to sharing power and responsibility with students. It enables students to play a role at all levels of the education system in determining why education matters, what education should be and how it should be delivered. Partnership can look like peer-to-peer learning or mentoring, students actively involved in school governance, students speaking at education conferences and students advising the government on education policy.
What does partnership between Kids and Educators look like?
We believe that when kids identify a problem they care about and go through a process to find a solution they grow in their learning and leadership in unprecedented ways. We have seen children of all ages and diverse backgrounds engage in community change and grow both as students and as citizens in the process.
Tunaamini kwamba ikiwa katika kila ngazi ya mabadiliko tunafanya kazi na kutekeleza kanuni hizi tatu, tutafikiria upya elimu. """Situo salama ni mahali ambapo ninaweza kuwa mimi mwenyewe na kusema kile ninachoamini." Pia, ni nafasi ambapo mimi mazoezi ya kusikiliza nini wengine wanasema bila hukumu na kuthamini wengine kwa ajili ya nani wao kipekee. Maeneo salama yanaweza kuonekana kama mazungumzo ya uaminifu, duru za mazungumzo na kusikiliza, na madarasa ambapo makosa ni hatua muhimu za kujifunza. Ni wapi ambapo tumeona watoto wetu na Mwalimu wetu kuunda na kushiriki katika nafasi salama? KIDS AND EDUCATION R.S. Tunaamini kwamba ushirikiano katika elimu ni ambapo walimu na wanafunzi kusikiliza na kujifunza kutoka kwa kila mmoja. Hufanya uamuzi na udhibiti wa shule kuwa katika mikono ya mtu mzima na kugawana mamlaka na wajibu na wanafunzi. "Hii inawawezesha wanafunzi kucheza jukumu katika ngazi zote za mfumo wa elimu katika kuamua kwa nini elimu ni muhimu, ni nini elimu inapaswa kuwa na jinsi inapaswa kutolewa. """ Ushirikiano unaweza kuonekana kama peer-to-peer kujifunza au mentoring, wanafunzi kushiriki kikamilifu katika utawala wa shule, wanafunzi kuzungumza katika mikutano ya elimu na wanafunzi kushauri serikali juu ya sera ya elimu. Ushirikiano kati ya Watoto na Walimu unaonekanaje? Tunaamini kwamba wakati watoto wanapoweza kutambua tatizo wanalolijali na kupitia mchakato wa kutafuta suluhisho, wanakua katika kujifunza na uongozi wao kwa njia zisizo na kifani. """Tumeona watoto wa umri wote na asili tofauti kushiriki katika mabadiliko ya jamii na kukua kama wanafunzi na raia katika mchakato huo."
