Prvi dan na mjestu ravnateljice jedne od lošijih škola u Sjevernoj Philadelphiji Linda Cliatt-Wayman bila je odlučna postaviti nova pravila. Uskoro je shvatila da je njezin posao puno kompleksniji nego je mislila. S opipljivom strašću govori o tri principa koja su joj pomogla preobraziti tri škole obilježene kao "loše i konstantno opasne". Njezina odlučnost da bude dobar vođa i da voli učenike, bez obzira na sve, model je pravog vodstva u svim poljima.

Ubrzo nakon što sam

00:56
After things were quickly under control,
11
44083
2942
Nakon što smo smirili situaciju,
00:59
I immediately called a meeting
12
47500
3018
odmah sam sazvala sastanak
01:02
in the school's auditorium
13
50542

u školskoj dvorani
01:04
to introduce myself
as the school's new principal.

I walked in angry,
16
60458
1875
Ušetala sam ljuta,
01:15
a little nervous --
17
63154
1368
pomalo nervozna --
01:16
(Laughter) --
18
64546
1138
(Smijeh) --
01:17
but I was determined
19
65708
1750
ali bila sam odlučna
01:19
to set the tone for my new students.
20
67792
2500
postaviti standarde za svoje nove učenike.
01:23
I started listing as forcefully as I could
21
71083
3834
Počela sam što sam
snažnije mogla nabrajati

01:26
my expectations for their behavior

svoja očekivanja

01:34
When, all of a sudden,
24
82625
1500
Iznenada,
01:37
a girl way in the back of the auditorium,
25
85042
3000
djevojčica u stražnjem dijelu dvorane,
01:40
she stood up
26
88750
1292
ustala je
01:42
and she said, "Miss!
27
90875
1750
i viknula, "Gospođo!
01:45
Miss!"
28
93625
1167
Gospođo!"
01:47
When our eyes locked, she said,
29
95750
3750
Kad su nam se susreli pogledi, rekla je,
01:52
"Why do you keep calling this a school?
30
100250
3618
"Zašto stalno nazivate ovo školom?
01:56
This is not a school."
31
104708
2667
Ovo nije škola."
02:00
In one outburst,
32
108625
1792
U jednoj rečenici,
02:03
Ashley had expressed what I felt
33
111125
3458
Ashley je izrekla ono što sam osjećala
02:07
and never quite was able to articulate
34
115167
2750
a nikad nisam mogla staviti u riječi
02:10
about my own experience
when I attended a low-performing school

35
118292

i pokušala ući,

and found the door locked with chains,
47
171542
3208
i vidjela da su vrata zaključana lancima,
03:07
I could hear Ashley's voice in my ears
48
175458
3393
čula sam Ashleyjin glas u sebi
03:10
going, "Miss! Miss!
49
178875

"Gospođo! Gospođo!
03:14
This is not a school."

This was not a school.
55

To nije bila škola.
03:36
As the year progressed,
56
204292
1791
Kako je godina odmicala,
03:38
I noticed that the classrooms
were nearly empty.

57
206750
4375
primijetila sam da su
učionice gotovo prazne.
učionice gotovo prazne.
03:43
The students were just scared:
58
211958
2084
Učenici su bili uplašeni,
03:46
scared to sit in rows in fear
that something would happen;
that something would happen;
59
214750
4000
bojali su se sjediti u redovima
da se nešto ne bi dogodilo,

03:51
scared because they were often teased
in the cafeteria for eating free food.

04:01
This was not a school.
62
229792
3458
To nije bila škola.
04:07
And then, there were the teachers,
63
235375
2726
S druge strane, učitelji
04:10
who were incredibly afraid
for their own safety,
for their own safety,
64
238125
4250
koji su bili zabrinuti za svoju sigurnost,
04:14
so they had low expectations
for the students and themselves,
for the students and themselves,
65
242833
5643
pa su imali niska očekivanja i
od učenika i od sebe samih,
od učenika i od sebe samih,
04:20
and they were totally
unaware of their role

66

i bili su potpuno nesvjesni svoje uloge
04:23
in the destruction
of the school's culture.

67
251833
2209
u uništenju školske kulture.
04:26
This was the most troubling of all.
68
254500
3041
To je bilo ono najgore.
04:30
You see, Ashley was right,
69
258791
2834
Vidite, Ashley je bila u pravu,
04:34
and not just about her school.
70
262833
1875
i to ne samo u vezi svoje škole.
04:37
For far too many schools,
71
265667
2142
Za previše škola,
04:39
for kids who live in poverty,
72
267833
2060
za djecu koja žive u oskudici,
04:41
their schools are really
not schools at all.
not schools at all.
73
269917
2833
škole uopće nisu škole.
04:45
But this can change.
74
273583
1709
No to se može promijeniti.
04:47
Let me tell you how it's being done
at Strawberry Mansion High School.

04:57
I am known for my slogans.
77
285917
2041
da sam poznata po svojim sloganima
05:00
(Laughter)
78
288583
1042
(Smijeh)
05:02
So today, I am going to use three
79
290000
3530
Danas ću koristiti tri
05:05
that have been paramount
in our quest for change.
in our quest for change.
80
293554
3333
koje su bile vrhovne u
našem traganju za promjenom.
našem traganju za promjenom.
05:09
My first slogan is:
81
297917
1750
Prvi slogan je:
05:12
if you're going to lead, lead.
82
300458
2375
ako ćeš voditi, vodi.
05:15
I always believed
83
303750
2120
Uvijek sam vjerovala
05:17
that what happens in a school
and what does not happen in a school
and what does not happen in a school
84
305894
3874
da sve što se dogodi ili ne dogodi u
školi
školi
05:21
is up to the principal.
85
309792
1458
ovisi o ravnatelju.
05:23
I am the principal,
86
311958
1459
Ja sam ravnateljica,
05:25
and having that title required me to lead.
87
313833
3625
i zbog toga se od mene očekuje da vodim.
05:30
I was not going to stay in my office,
88
318125
2697
Nisam planirala ostati u uredu,
05:32
I was not going to delegate my work,
89
320846
2821
Nije mi palo na pamet proslijediti
moj posao,
moj posao,
05:35
and I was not going to be afraid
to address anything

90
323691
3445
I nisam se plašila baviti stvarima
05:39
that was not good for children,
91
327160
1900
koje nisu bile dobre za djecu,
05:41
whether that made me liked or not.
92
329084
2974
voljeli me zbog toga ili ne.
05:45
I am a leader,
93
333228
1713
Ja sam vođa,
05:46
so I know I cannot do anything alone.
94
334965
3098
i znam da ne mogu napraviti puno sama.
05:50
So, I assembled
a top-notch leadership team
a top-notch leadership team
95
338788
2663
Zbog toga sam sastavila
vrhunski tim voditelja
vrhunski tim voditelja
05:53
who believed in the possibility
of all the children,
of all the children,
96
341475
3084
koji je vjerovao u mogućnosti sve djece,
05:56
and together, we tackled the small things,
97
344583
3849
zajedno smo se bavili malim stvarima,
06:00
like resetting every single
locker combination by hand

Trebalo nam je dva kontejnera dnevno.
06:36
And, of course, of course,
108
384875
2557
I, naravno, naravno,
06:39
we tackled the big stuff,

09:52
what we determined was
that teachers knew what to teach

but we now approach every obstacle
with a "So What. Now What?" attitude.

And that brings me

10:54
(Laughter)

642486
1650
(Smijeh)
10:56
If nobody told you they loved you today,
178
644160

Ako ti danas nitko nije rekao volim te,
11:00
you remember I do, and I always will.
179

sjeti se da te ja volim,

My students have problems:

i ekonomske probleme

11:12

182
660448

kakve ne možete zamisliti.
11:15
Some of them are parents themselves,
183
663056
2338
Neki od njih sami su sebi roditelji,
11:17
and some are completely alone.
184
665418
2822
neki su potpuno sami.
11:21
If someone asked me my real secret
185
669375
3518
Kad bi me netko pitao moju tajnu
11:24
for how I truly keep
Strawberry Mansion moving forward,
Strawberry Mansion moving forward,
186
672917
3926
kako Strawberry Mansion guram naprijed,
11:29
I would have to say
that I love my students
that I love my students
187
677405
3133
morala bih reći da
volim svoje učenike
volim svoje učenike
11:32
and I believe in their possibilities
188
680935
2468
i vjerujem u njihove mogućnosti
11:35
unconditionally.
189
683427
1526
bezuvijetno.
11:38
When I look at them,
190
686000
1637
Kada ih pogledam
11:40
I can only see what they can become,
191
688235
2772
vidim samo ono što mogu postati,
11:43
and that is because I am one of them.
192
691869
3695
a to je zbog toga što sam jedna od njih.
11:48
I grew up poor in North Philadelphia too.
193
696542
2850
I ja sam odrasla u siromaštvu
u Sjevernoj Philadelphiji.

11:52
I know what it feels like
to go to a school that's not a school.

I ja znam kako je ići
u školu koja nije škola.
u školu koja nije škola.
11:58
I know what it feels like to wonder
195
706184

I ja znam kako je pitati se
12:01
if there's ever going to be
any way out of poverty.
any way out of poverty.
196
709458
3650
postoji li put iz siromaštva.
12:06
But because of my amazing mother,
197
714092
2854
Ali zbog moje nevjerojatne majke,
12:10
I got the ability to dream
198
718496
3066
ja sam imala mogućnost sanjati
12:13
despite the poverty that surrounded me.
199
721586
2582
bez obzira na siromaštvo
koje me okruživalo.

12:17
So --

725161
1198
Zbog toga --
12:18
(Applause) --
201
726383
2448
(Pljesak) --
12:20
if I'm going to push my students
202
728855
5093
ako ću gurati učenike
12:25
toward their dream
and their purpose in life,
and their purpose in life,
203
733972
2773
prema njihovom snu i
njihovoj svrsi u životu,
njihovoj svrsi u životu,
12:28
I've got to get to know who they are.
204
736769
2608
moram znati tko su oni.
12:32
So I have to spend time with them,
205
740042
2852
Moram provoditi vrijeme s njima,
12:34
so I manage the lunchroom every day.
206
742918
2400
zbog toga vodim ručak svaki dan.
12:37
(Laughter)
207
745342
1289
(Smijeh)
12:38
And while I'm there,
208
746655
1512
I dok sam tamo,
12:40
I talk to them
about deeply personal things,
about deeply personal things,
209
748896
4018
razgovaram s njima
o osobnim stvarima,
o osobnim stvarima,
12:45
and when it's their birthday,
210
753830
2083
a kada im je rođendan,
12:47
I sing "Happy Birthday"
211
755937
1929
pjevam "Sretan rođendan"
12:49
even though I cannot sing at all.
212
757890
2146
iako uopće ne znam pjevati.
12:52
(Laughter)
213
760060
2032
(Smijeh)
12:54
I often ask them,
214
762116
1724
Često ih pitam,
12:55
"Why do you want me to sing
when I cannot sing at all?"
when I cannot sing at all?"
215
763864
3933
"Zašto želite da pjevam,
kad ne znam pjevati? "
kad ne znam pjevati? "
12:59
(Laughter)
216
767821
1838
(Smijeh)
13:01
And they respond by saying,
217
769683
2184
A oni odgovaraju,
13:04
"Because we like feeling special."
218
772284
2376
"Zato što se volimo osjećati posebno."
13:08
We hold monthly town hall meetings
219
776259
2803
Održavamo mjesečne sastanke
13:11
to listen to their concerns,
220
779611
2930
kako bi saslušali njihove brige,
13:14
to find out what is on their minds.
221
782565
3761
i saznali što im je na umu.
13:18
They ask us questions like,
"Why do we have to follow rules?"
"Why do we have to follow rules?"
222
786784
5033
Postavljaju pitanja kao:
"Zašto moramo slijediti pravila?"
"Zašto moramo slijediti pravila?"
13:24
"Why are there so many consequences?"
223
792255
2595
"Zašto je toliko puno poslijedica?"
13:27
"Why can't we just do what we want to do?"
224
795168
2967
"Zašto ne mošemo raditi što želimo?"
13:30
(Laughter)
225
798159
2231
(Smijeh)
13:32
They ask, and I answer
each question honestly,

226
800414

na sva pitanja,

and this exchange in listening
helps to clear up any misconceptions.

14:02

14:42
And I end every announcement the same:
244
870216
2838
I svako obraćanje završavam jednako:
14:45
"If nobody told you they loved you today,
245
873414
3853
"Ako ti danas nitko nije rekao volim te,
14:49

kad je u pitanju siromaštvo

onda se moramo pobrinuti
15:16
that every school

16:17
often scared by what the world

često uplašeno zbog onoga što
mu svijet govori da bi trebalo biti,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Linda Cliatt-Wayman - High school principalAs a Philadelphia high school principal, Linda Cliatt-Wayman held an unwavering belief in the potential of all children.
Why you should listen
Linda Cliatt-Wayman grew up in poverty in North Philadelphia, where she experienced firsthand the injustice being perpetrated against poor students in their education. She has dedicated her career and her life to ending that injustice, working within Philadelphia's fractured public-school system. She spent 20 years as a special-ed teacher before becoming a principal, leading two low-performing urban high schools to success with improved test scores and increased college admissions among students.
At Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion High School (rapper Meek Mill's alma mater), Wayman and her team once again proved what is possible for low-income children. Test scores have improved every year since Wayman took over, and the school was removed from the federal Persistently Dangerous Schools List for the first time in five years. Diane Sawyer and her team spent the 2012-2013 school year documenting Wayman’s efforts for ABC World News Tonight and Nightline.
Cliatt-Wayman retired from Strawberry Mansion High School in May 2017.
