"An education will make him unfit to be a slave"

There's a powerfully nuanced and layered understanding of servitude that shackles itself to those words

Or so I'm here to suggest to you in these next few minutes. Now, the going standard for TED talks these days allows a speaker

10-20 minutes to make his case and indeed this sounds like a reasonable amount of time for a person with an idea that he feels

Is worth spreading whether virally or otherwise to make such a case so here goes?

I've taught courses and rhetorical analysis under the misnomer speech for 12 years nine of them at the largest undergraduate

Institution in the already large state of Texas and I do take this responsibility as seriously as I have anything in my life

Now the best footballers leave it all on the field the best endurance racers leave it all in the course

Perhaps the best chefs leave it all in the food, but the best teachers certainly leave it all in the classroom

reputation and

Perception so often serve as a black mirror for reality

still I would confidently appeal to any former student of mine for an honest assessment of my efforts thus far as

Any person or group of people in a position of authority?

Should always be confident enough to both welcome and encourage public criticism for example

I offer the following self criticism

I enjoy a healthy amount of academic freedom at the front of a college classroom yet

I often feel a strange

obligation to teach the Canon

For those who aren't familiar with this term the Canon serves as a collection of the favorite speeches and books of teachers

Who've come before us and?

It took me a great deal of honest

Introspection to recognize my own. Hypocrisy here as

I've found that I can quite easily lie myself into believing that someone else's favorite books are mine, too. I

Can do the same with speeches with movies with foods with fashion trends and all the rest

now this kind of self-deception can be a massive opportunity cost for otherwise impassioned teachers and

Perhaps some of you can relate

Now my formal education featured many dispassionate teachers

And I used to go out of my way to make teachers hate their jobs as much as they seemed to want to

But now with more wisdom I wonder how many of them were dispassionate because they were teachers

Versus those who were simply dispassionate about what they were teaching

The students I've had the privilege of learning with over the past decade have made me a better person

For it and as all engaged teachers. Do I have documented stories that are truly stranger than fiction?

And over the past few years. I've decided that my cannon is long overdue for an update for example if you dare

imagine a woman introducing herself to a roomful of

25 strangers telling the story of her journey across the earth to find a safer Haven here in Dallas

fleeing a court a culture that forced her into a mutilation of her genitals a

Practice at the World Health Organization estimates over 95 percent of women in countries such as Egypt and Somalia have had to endure

Now there have been seven of these stories in my classes thus far in

The front of a college classroom has been a space that these brave women deemed safe enough to condemn the barbarism from which they

Heroically fled this is quite the Odyssey

I would imagine and as the son of a weakened duit liberal feminist single mother I've listened to these

horrifyingly inspiring personal narratives

made starkly aware of my own privileged position in a world this chaotic and

Many stories that I have documented belong in any reasonable person's Canon as they will always enjoy a safe space in my own

Now my college campus is a graveyard, and I'm not just talking about the free speech area

I mean a literal one as the motley family cemetery reminds me each workday

how fortunate I truly am to be able to whistle past the graveyard gates and

as any lover of dead poet's would I make it my goal to help people find their voices a

Success in my case is watching students experience a Renaissance

Which is a renewed desire to seize the day in their own unique ways and that makes my work feel worthwhile?

Now that I'm older I take more time to reflect and wonder how many of these

Rediscovered voices get quickly muted after graduation by the predictable loudness of a stressful life

So welcome to the Eastfield college free speech area

Now many of my colleagues are aware that I do not mind taking the lead or starting a flash mob

And I plan to start using this area frequently, and I hope you will consider joining me

students faculty professional support staff administration cleaning crew members members of the local community

You all have something worth sharing publicly

Now coming from an anxious introvert who forces myself to be the opposite

I understand that it may take many of you years of struggle to do this

But I'll ask you to bracket for a moment whatever

Anxieties you may feel and consider that the juice in this space may be well worth the squeeze

Now I say this having spent 12 years watching adults myself included self actualized

This substantive lesson is one that I am most certainly privileged to learn more concretely each semester

Now I love being an educator and it has come to my attention

recently that my discipline poorly named speech is being strongly considered for a de facto removal from the core curriculum a

Core curriculum for those of you who don't know is more commonly referred to as the basics

it's the Canon of courses that lawmakers decide should be required to complete in order to graduate with a degree and

That's fine as I relish the opportunity to market our discipline in a variety of ways

Now I've worked a non profit student service for 17 years

And I've taught students ranging from 5 to 82 years of age

And I started my career working as an advisor for a scholarship that did not discriminate on behalf of a person citizenship

And I'll ask you to trust me when I assure you that I've listened to thousands of people's dreams at this point

Perhaps some of you can relate and at this juncture in my career

I cannot think of a better way to continue to help people in my local community

Find their voices than to practice public in this free speech area what I preached privately in the classroom

now at Eastfield college

we brand ourselves in many ways a

Family is one such label now worth noting here is I've found that families work best when they learn to argue

Honestly and publicly the hive is another label

We proudly give ourselves also worth noting here hives are mostly made up of worker bees now each workday morning

I transition from a 6 to 8 hour extra-dimensional trance to the best wet willy ever from my best friend stuff

Stuff and I have a walking route down by the Trinity River in one of Dallas's most awesome green spaces and so it's nearly impossible

For my days not to begin with a smile, and I was born across the street from South Oak Cliff high school

I grew up around candy houses known to many today as trap houses drive-by shootings gang turf wars

helicopters regularly shining spotlights on our bedroom windows and

Constant sirens you learn to adapt to your environment, so these days I cannot forget how charmed of a life

I currently live and my body's been around the Sun 38 times

And it's difficult for me to imagine how my mother managed all of the stresses

She had at 38 and it must have been a private hell for any parent struggling

Unsuccessfully to shield one's offspring from life's harshest and most

disgusting realities

But like a good parent

She insisted that an education was the way out and this can be a hard sell to a five-year-old

Especially when your kindergarten class goes through 9 teachers in one year, and we dealt with issues including

But not exclusive to beer bottles found in the trash can teachers caught having sex in the classroom lockouts

Firings all in one year

Welcome to school in my case

I was fortunate to have a mom who cared enough to get me out of there the next year

And I should note here that

she had to physically threaten the principal to release my records so that I could attend a different school out of our district and

She likely won't like me saying that publicly but my mom didn't play when it came to her child's education

respect do I

Should also add that I was privileged enough to have our

Received a solid educational foundation in the heart of one of the poorest neighborhoods in the United States

At a preschool, which has now moved from its original home in the Nolan Estes Plaza called Jimmy Tyler

Brashear where my mom lied about my age at two to get me in

Now I say all of this because it informs my current view of how valuable a quality education

Truly is and I now deem myself

educated only to the extent that I can keep the experiences of others in the calculus of my thoughts and behaviors and

It's incredibly hard to do this and I fail often

But that's okay because I've found that there are helpful people out there when I present myself

Honestly, so let's get honest about some stuff

each morning stuff

And I look up at the massive digital billboard that

overlooks one of the busiest highway mix masters and one of the richest cities on the planet to read the marketing slogan higher

education that actually gets you hired

marketing often lends itself to cuteness

Now this is the marketing slogan for the largest undergraduate

Institution in the state of Texas and so I have to understand my students expectations of me to get them hired

fair play right

But what about the students who aren't pursuing an education?

Merely to get hired

What about those who have a job and want to learn something for personal growth?

What about the entrepreneur who wants to start our own business and work for herself?

What about the stay-at-home parent who wants to pursue a formal education simply to set a positive example for her child?

What about those who want to spend their lives volunteering for organizations all around the world?

What about the person who recently got a new camera and wants to take a class to learn how to use it?

What about the person with a deaf child who unlike the majority of parents of deaf children?

Who expect their kids to learn how to read lips actually wants to take a sign language class?

To be able to communicate with his son

What about the couple who wants to take a beginning Spanish class because they live in Texas?

And they simply want to learn to communicate with their

now these are just a few examples from my experiences over the past 17 years as both an academic advisor and

As an educator and I have far more to further bolster this point and so do thousands of other educators

So I stand here today to speak out on behalf of Education

When Frederick Douglass's Kaptur came home to find his wife teaching him how to read he became infuriated

the wife was no doubt aware of how loudly this caged bird could sing if given the platform an

Education will make him unfit to be a slave Douglass recalls overhearing and his powerful

Personal narrative that again, I suggest belongs and any reasonable person's cannon

now I was 13 in the mid 1990s and there was a massive push for ethnic diversity in both schools and in workplaces and

a local diversity recruiter was tasked with visiting Dallas Public Schools to fetch top performing brown and black skin students

Now the schools. I applied to were labeled as college preparatory and they currently charged 30,000 dollars each year for tuition

These schools started in pre-k and they go to 12th grade and that's nearly four hundred

thousand dollars for a child's formal education

This is a lot of money and strongly suggests that an education is truly highly valuable

Now my life certainly changed after I was admitted to this different world in

eighth grade

The boys club van and the dart bus transported me to a massive farmland campus complete with peacocks

Windmills the number one debate team in the nation and the most part

that was invaluable for me was positive peer pressure I

Recall being fascinated by the fact that people actually pushed each other to do better in school

With of course the usual adolescent complications along the way

But if this doesn't sound like the twilight zone to some of you yet perhaps these two factoids will help

one in the campus's history no graduate ever had a child before graduating and

To the end of the year boasts a matriculation list detailing each graduates elite University alongside his name

Dartmouth Penn Duke

Princeton Stanford Wake Forest they're all there and in my case it was Vanderbilt University in Nashville

Tennessee now people pushed each other to be smarter here to have healthier arguments to cultivate a lifelong

intellectual curiosity

This was a different kind of hive than I had been used to and incidentally our mascot was the Hornet and

Each year, I still have lunch with the former Admissions Director at the time that I was recruited

His name is Tom Perryman

And he's easily one of the most genuinely

Passionate educators that I've ever had the privilege of meeting and I will always consider him to be a mentor

the only reason we ever met is

because of my own teenaged ignorance

And I still recall the essay prompt for the Green Hill school admissions exam

Who is the most important historical figure in your opinion and why?

Now I remember being terrified because I didn't know what the term historical figure meant

and after staring at the paper for several minutes pretending to think I

Finally worked up the nerve to ask the kids sitting next to me, and he looked at me like I was from another planet

someone from history he said

Does it have to be a real person? I whispered

I

Wasn't kidding either?

And I remember him shaking his head in a way that let me know that if I was lucky enough to be accepted

I'd be punching up for a long while I

Looked at his paper and remember fixating on his first word

essentially

For me smart started there in that moment, and I put my pen on the paper

And I wrote a quote walk the streets my forefathers walk climb the trees my forefathers hung from

This hauntingly beautiful piece of musical poetry was written by a lyricist named speech

In a song called tennessee from a band that was popular at the time Arrested Development, and this quote headline a choppy

adolescent Spike Lee joint inspired essay about my hero at the time Malcolm X

Another order who belongs firmly in any respectable cannon by the way

now Malcolm X's legacy often gets

Zoomed by a symbol and as many people were sporting this symbol at the time on hats and t-shirts and posters

also by the line by any means necessary

And by a line beautifully delivered via Denzel, Washington in his prime. We didn't land on, Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us

Now I was moved by the power of those words

moved enough to make Malcolm Malcolm X history's most important historical figure after 13 years of heroes to choose from

But truthfully I was probably just man crushing on Denzel at the time more than anything

But 25 years later

Tom and I can still laugh about this first encounter on paper

and I've used a quarter of a century sense to find importance in those words and

actions of countless historical figures both real and fictional

Now this may all sound like a tangent to you

but that confusing essay prompt provided me with an education that will forever make me unfit to be a slave I

Might have been just another worker be

Someone who believes that the point of higher education is simply to get hired

And I see this slogan billboard it on the same dart bus routes

I used to ride and again flashing on the marquee at the entrance every single time

I turn in to campus and again on every piece of marketing swag that we have

It's a slogan that I try

unsuccessfully to unlearn each day a

Higher education is meant to challenge adults

many of whom have been grossly underprepared and

Under-resourced by a fledgling public school system and see College merely as the 13th grade

But rather a higher education is meant to challenge them with project-based learning

teaches them how to practice intellectual self defense and how to ask better questions of themselves of each other and

especially of authority

a higher education should empower adults to challenge broken systems

nonsense policies and ideas

Now my own discipline emphasizes that silence can be golden when you learn to listen to listen

Empathically to listen critically to listen

comprehensively and to listen

Appreciatively, and the best listeners are those that know how to adapt their listening style to the audience and to the situation

Now listening is most important and hardest when you disagree with someone or some thing and I personally

Often find it hard to listen when clear

communication takes a backseat to stuff like Robert's Rules of Order or Old English legalese and other nonsense ax

Intended to allow people to talk in secret code

Now it's my hope that you'll join me in this area

Whenever you feel motivated to do so and I'll certainly be here to help in any way that I can

For the past 12 years. I have given the same speech on the last day of class

encouraging students to remain intellectually curious to pursue their goals

Creatively and passionately and to keep me posted on any developments in their lives

And I always emphasize the first correction that was made to the US Constitution

Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech

Free speech is for all speech especially the speech that offends you and especially the speech that offends me

Whether or not free speech needs any ethical limitations is always up for debate in the mind of any educated person

So free your voice

Here and free your mind with a higher education and made this space always remain safe

For you to share with us what you learn along the way

Education Talks | Flipping the classroom in science lessons and beyond - Duration: 4:09.

Research suggests educational videos may be more effective than a teacher with textbooks: why?

I think that books are important. Evidently they are there.

I studied with books. I love books.

But these new generations,

the children who are in class right now, they spend all their free time on YouTube.

YouTube is their playground.

They are very used to the audiovisual format

and everything that arrives in audiovisual format, they get it a lot better.

Obviously it is much better, like I always say,

to show a video of an explosion than a photo of an explosion in a book.

So in my case, I think video in particular is a fundamental tool and can help teachers a lot

at the time of teaching and especially to connect with their students.

How do you think the idea of flipped classrooms will develop in the future?

There are already many teachers in the world working with the flipped classroom.

They are using video usually in class

and I think the breakthrough is going to be unstoppable in the next 3 or 4 years.

For me it is fundamental, not to replace the work of a teacher or anything like that,

but to be able to help to achieve that those kids,

who often find especially science subjects less likeable, can be engaged much more.

I also teach students in person

and they always like what the videos tell them better than what I tell them in class.

In fact, it will make it so that a teacher has to be more creative

and do much more different things than what they actually or usually do in class.

As a nominee for the Global Teacher Prize 2017, what would be your advice for the delivery of a good science lesson?

First of all, try in any subject, it does not matter if it is science,

to transmit the greatest possible enthusiasm to your students,

empathise with them and let them participate in class.

I think we should abandon, especially in science,

the idea that the teacher only has to speak and the students can only listen,

and I think we should participate and empathise and talk a lot more with them.

From there, I try to give them examples of superheroes, movies,

of all the things that they are keen with from the real world,

so they can relate the numbers and the letters and the equations

they see on paper and they do not know very well what they are for.

They try to relate to the real world and I explain why a plane flies

or that the bridge they go through every day responds to a mathematical equation

or that if there were no mathematics, they could not play their video games

because video games are about physics and mathematics.

And if I try to link their passions with the sciences, well, much better,

and that is what I try in the videos almost always.

Do you see more integration of e-learning into the curriculum in the future?

I think we teachers should little by little start introducing

all those small dynamics or in our class dynamics,

all those little technological innovations

that allow our students understand the sciences from different angles.

It cannot be that we continue teaching the sciences in the same way

as when I was little for example, when there was no Internet or no Google.

We must make the most of the computing power of computers,

mobile phones, social networks, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, definitely.

Because it makes the kids connect more what they see in class with the real world

because if not, they are faced with two different worlds.

And we teachers need to start introducing little by little that type of dynamics.

Not just social networks, but augmented reality.

All you need is a mobile and some cardboard glasses

for children to see the Sistine Chapel from inside or the bottom of the sea or space.

So, everything that we can introduce little by little in class that has to do with technology

will make the students go to the class more motivated, participate more,

and that obviously improves the way in which science is taught right now.

Above all, considering that in the future,

these kids are going to work with technology practically every day

and job opportunities of the future and of tomorrow

go through artificial intelligence, machine learning,

and many other concepts that have to do with science.

And the sooner we introduce the kids

or get them to discover the passion for science is much better.

And little by little, the teachers, we must try, at whatever cost.

Ngāti Naho Rangiriri education programme launches - Duration: 2:57.

After Ngati Naho was given back

the lion's share of the land in Rangiriri,

they decided to get into tourism

to share their local stories of war and confiscation.

Today they welcomed Manurewa High School,

their first large school group, to their new education programme.

Hania Douglas reports.

Rangiriri - usually somewhere you pass on State Highway One,

but the locals invite you to stop in.

We are Ngati Naho, Ngati Pou, Ngati Hine and Ngati Mahuta.

These lands were confiscated in 1863 after the battle of Rangiriri

when it was returned recently, the iwi got down to business.

There's a place to eat-in,

a museum which displays the history of the area,

along with artefacts.

There's also an art store as well.

And with the growing call for the Maori land wars

to be included in the national curriculum,

schools are invited to visit and learn.

When the students are here

they get to experience the ambience of the area

and really connect with the ancestors in a meaningful way.

Those ancestors have been laid to rest beneath those near-by hills.

You could say that the crowning jewel of the place

is Rangiriri Pa itself,

situated on land that was only returned to the iwi in 2016.

When the land came back to the iwi, to the Maori King,

we, as Maori,

agreed that we wouldn't build anything

on top of these sites of significance.

Ngato Naho says they're happy that they now hold the power

to share the narratives passed down through the ages.

I'm very happy because if we hadn't had done this

then someone else would have,

and it would be someone else telling our history to others.

What happens when guardianship and business come together.

Hania Douglas, Te Karere.

Education Talks | The question of quality in early years education - Duration: 5:27.

What is the significance of the EU quality framework on early childhood education and care?

Children's experiences in early year services across Europe

have the potential to be really influential in their current lives, in their future lives

and in fact throughout their life.

So it is really critical that we make those experiences the best quality that we possibly can

for children and for their families.

When the Quality Framework came out in 2014, it was a proposal, a draft set of statements

and even in that format, it has already made some impact in policy across Europe.

What does 'quality' mean? How can families, communities and local services contribute?

Children develop best in an environment where all stakeholders, all adults

who work in the support of their care and education,

work in partnership with a common shared set of goals and understandings

and so those really important relationships are the starting point of quality.

It is really important that staff, practitioners, teachers, parents

and wider families and societies and communities work together,

work together to share their understanding of how children best develop and learn.

We also need a shared vision of what quality looks like in practice.

That can be expressed through curricula or programmes of learning

that are informed by best evidence around how children develop and learn.

We also really importantly need to find support at the macrosystem level

so policymakers need to provide the resources, the governance infrastructure

and all of those elements that are going to create

what has often been described as a competent system

which supports quality at all levels

from the top at policy making right through to the experiences that children have.

Can quality ECEC have an impact on the inclusiveness and efficiency of education systems?

Early childhood education can lay foundation stones

that really give children the potential and build their capacity

to benefit from the offer of education right throughout the education system

and indeed into their professional lives and in their personal lives as well.

In early childhood we build strong foundations through fostering learning dispositions

such as creativity, self-regulation, problem-solving.

We create children who understand each other, who can be members of communities and societies.

We foster empathy and unfortunately in the current climate across Europe,

we could do with a lot more empathy and compassion.

How can the status of practitioners working in early childhood education be improved?

But what is really important as well is the fact that

you need highly qualified skilled adults to work with those young children,

to support those really positive learning interactions,

to find those teachable moments

where children make that breakthrough in their learning and development.

Those adults need to be qualified appropriately

but they also need to find the work rewarding.

They need to be recognised and valued for the work that they do.

Unfortunately, too often across Europe, the early childhood workforce tends to be

the poorer relations in the education system and that is something that we must change.

We really need to understand that the starting point

for improving the quality of experiences for young children

is to ensure that we have a strong, competent, confident workforce

who feel fulfilled in their work

so they come in with that positive attitude that models learning for young children.

We need to recognise that the work that early childhood professionals do is critical.

If they cannot do a good job working with our youngest children,

then we are always going to be catching up in the remainder of the education system.

They need to be given parity of status and parity of recognition and value.

What is your view on the transition from early years to primary school?

Transitions are something that is positive if they are supported correctly.

Our first transition from the close, warm connectedness of our families

into an early year service is becoming more and more common for children across Europe.

In recent times the numbers of children being funded

to attend free earlier services has increased quite dramatically.

This presents challenges for the next stage, the next transition: the one into primary school.

Because now we have a cohort of young children across Europe

who have had hopefully the experience of high quality early education and care

and this has developed their capacity, their learning dispositions, their skills,

their empathy, their ability to communicate,

and primary schools and primary teachers need to be ready for that.

They need to understand that there has to be continuity

both in the experiences

but also in the way in which children are recognised as competent, confident learners.
