然后花了20年在特殊教育上，
00:34
in a low-income, low-performing school
5
22792
3000
在一所低收入、低绩效的学校任教，
00:38
in North Philadelphia,
6
26167
1616
学校在费城北部地区，
00:40
where crime is rampant
7
28292
1583
那里的犯罪率很高，
00:42
and deep poverty is
among the highest in the nation.

那里也是全国最贫困的地区之一。
00:46
Shortly after I walked into my new school,
9
34958
3601
我走进这校园不久后
00:50
a huge fight broke out among the girls.
10
38583
3917
女生们之间就出现了一次冲突。
00:56
After things were quickly under control,
11
44083
2942
事情很快就得到控制，
00:59
I immediately called a meeting
12
47500
3018
我立马在学校的礼堂里
01:02
in the school's auditorium
13
50542
2267
召开一场会议
01:04
to introduce myself
as the school's new principal.
as the school's new principal.
14
52833
3935
自我介绍我这位新的校长。
01:08
(Applause)
15
56792
2916
（掌声）
01:12
I walked in angry,
16
60458
1875
我走进礼堂，怒气很足，
01:15
a little nervous --
17
63154
1368
也有点紧张——
01:16
(Laughter) --
18
64546
1138
（笑声）——
01:17
but I was determined
19
65708
1750
但我下定决心
01:19
to set the tone for my new students.
20
67792
2500
给我的新学生定下规矩。
01:23
I started listing as forcefully as I could
21
71083
3834
我底气十足地开始列举
01:26
my expectations for their behavior
22
74958
2642
我期望他们有怎样的行为表现，
01:30
and my expectations
for what they would learn in school.
for what they would learn in school.
23
78125
3958
以及我期望他们能在学校里学到什么。
01:34
When, all of a sudden,
24
82625
1500
然后突然，
01:37
a girl way in the back of the auditorium,
25
85042
3000
礼堂最后面的一个女生
01:40
she stood up
26
88750
1292
她站了起来
01:42
and she said, "Miss!
27
90875
1750
然后说：“老师！”
01:45
Miss!"
28
93625
1167
“老师！”
01:47
When our eyes locked, she said,
29
95750
3750
当我们四目相触时，她说：
01:52
"Why do you keep calling this a school?
30
100250
3618
“为什么你一直管这叫学校？”
01:56
This is not a school."
31
104708
2667
“这不是一所学校。”
02:00
In one outburst,
32
108625
1792
霎那间，
02:03
Ashley had expressed what I felt
33
111125
3458
Ashley就表达了很多很多年前
02:07
and never quite was able to articulate
34
115167
2750
在同一个生活区内
02:10
about my own experience
when I attended a low-performing school
when I attended a low-performing school
35
118292
4601
我上一所低绩效的学校时
02:14
in the same neighborhood,
many, many, many years earlier.
many, many, many years earlier.
36
122917
3833
我一直都感受到
但从未能用言语表达的感受。
但从未能用言语表达的感受。
02:19
That school was definitely not a school.
37
127500
4125
那所学校绝不是学校。
02:25
Fast forwarding a decade later to 2012,
38
133000
4875
快进到10年后的2012年，
02:31
I was entering my third
low-performing school as principal.

39
139083
4542
我进入了我第三所低绩效的学校
做校长。

02:36
I was to be Strawberry Mansion's
fourth principal in four years.
fourth principal in four years.
40
144667
4958
我要在草莓大厦高中做四年校长。
02:42
It was labeled "low-performing
and persistently dangerous"
and persistently dangerous"
41
150750
4375
那学校一直被标为
“低绩效且持续危险”
“低绩效且持续危险”
02:47
due to its low test scores
42
155708
2893
原因是学生考试成绩低，
02:50
and high number of weapons,
43
158625
2726
并且武器数量多，
02:53
drugs, assaults and arrests.
44
161375
2542
毒品、袭击和被拘捕次数多。
02:57
Shortly as I approached the door
of my new school
of my new school
45
165833
3893
我走近这所校园的校门，
03:01
and attempted to enter,
46
169750
1768
尝试进入，
03:03
and found the door locked with chains,
47
171542
3208
却发现门被链条锁住了，
03:07
I could hear Ashley's voice in my ears
48
175458
3393
我马上就想起Ashley的话：
03:10
going, "Miss! Miss!
49
178875
2958
“老师！老师！”
03:14
This is not a school."
50
182833
2125
“这不是一所学校。”
03:17
The halls were dim and dark
from poor lighting.

51
185792
3166
走廊里又黑又暗，
照明相当不济。
照明相当不济。
03:21
There were tons of piles
of broken old furniture

52
189708
3310
教室里到处都堆满了
坏了的旧摆设和旧桌椅，
03:25
and desks in the classrooms,
53
193042
2267
03:27
and there were thousands
of unused materials and resources.
of unused materials and resources.
54
195333
4500
未用过的材料资源数不胜数。
03:32
This was not a school.
55
200625
2417
这不是一所学校。
03:36
As the year progressed,
56
204292
1791
任教的这一年里，
03:38
I noticed that the classrooms
were nearly empty.
were nearly empty.
57
206750
4375
我注意到学校的教室几乎是空的。
03:43
The students were just scared:
58
211958
2084
学生就是恐惧：
03:46
scared to sit in rows in fear
that something would happen;
that something would happen;
59
214750
4000
恐惧排坐在教室里，
生怕有事情会发生；
生怕有事情会发生；
03:51
scared because they were often teased
in the cafeteria for eating free food.
in the cafeteria for eating free food.
60
219583
4750
恐惧，因为他们经常被嘲笑
在饭堂里吃免费的食物。
在饭堂里吃免费的食物。
03:56
They were scared from all the fighting
and all the bullying.
and all the bullying.
61
224792
4625
他们被所有的打闹、欺凌吓怕了。
04:01
This was not a school.
62
229792
3458
这不是一所学校。
04:07
And then, there were the teachers,
63
235375
2726
然后还有老师，
04:10
who were incredibly afraid
for their own safety,
for their own safety,
64
238125
4250
他们都相当担心他们自身的安全，
04:14
so they had low expectations
for the students and themselves,
for the students and themselves,
65
242833
5643
结果他们对学生和自己的期望都很低，
04:20
and they were totally
unaware of their role
unaware of their role
66
248500
3309
他们完全没意识到
在学校文化的败坏中
他们所起的作用。
他们所起的作用。
04:23
in the destruction
of the school's culture.
of the school's culture.
67
251833
2209
04:26
This was the most troubling of all.
68
254500
3041
这是最让人不安的困扰。
04:30
You see, Ashley was right,
69
258791
2834
大家看，Ashley是对的，
04:34
and not just about her school.
70
262833
1875
而且不仅是她的学校。
04:37
For far too many schools,
71
265667
2142
有太多太多的学校，
04:39
for kids who live in poverty,
72
267833
2060
生活贫穷的孩子们，
04:41
their schools are really
not schools at all.
not schools at all.
73
269917
2833
他们的学校不是真正的学校。
04:45
But this can change.
74
273583
1709
但这可以改变。
04:47
Let me tell you how it's being done
at Strawberry Mansion High School.
at Strawberry Mansion High School.
75
275958
4667
让我来说说，草莓大厦高中
是如何进行蜕变的。
是如何进行蜕变的。
04:54
Anybody who's ever worked
with me will tell you
with me will tell you
76
282083
3292
与我共事过的人都会说
04:57
I am known for my slogans.
77
285917
2041
我的口号就是招牌。
05:00
(Laughter)
78
288583
1042
（笑声）
05:02
So today, I am going to use three
79
290000
3530
所以今天我要分享
05:05
that have been paramount
in our quest for change.
in our quest for change.
80
293554
3333
我们蜕变路程上
最为重要的三条口号。
最为重要的三条口号。
05:09
My first slogan is:
81
297917
1750
第一条口号是：
05:12
if you're going to lead, lead.
82
300458
2375
如果你要去领导，就切实领导。
05:15
I always believed
83
303750
2120
我一直相信
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
学校里发生什么、不发生什么
05:21
is up to the principal.
85
309792
1458
是由校长决定的。
05:23
I am the principal,
86
311958
1459
我是校长，
05:25
and having that title required me to lead.
87
313833
3625
顶着这头衔我必须要领导。
05:30
I was not going to stay in my office,
88
318125
2697
我不要坐在办公室，
05:32
I was not going to delegate my work,
89
320846
2821
我不会把自己的工作委任给别人，
05:35
and I was not going to be afraid
to address anything
to address anything
90
323691
3445
我也不会害怕
指出对孩子不利的东西，
05:39
that was not good for children,
91
327160
1900
05:41
whether that made me liked or not.
92
329084
2974
无论那会不会让我讨人喜欢。
05:45
I am a leader,
93
333228
1713
我是领导，
05:46
so I know I cannot do anything alone.
94
334965
3098
因此我知道我无法独自成事。
05:50
So, I assembled
a top-notch leadership team
a top-notch leadership team
95
338788
2663
因此在相信孩子潜能的人当中，
05:53
who believed in the possibility
of all the children,
of all the children,
96
341475
3084
我召集了一支顶尖的领导队伍，
05:56
and together, we tackled the small things,
97
344583
3849
联手解决细微的问题，
06:00
like resetting every single
locker combination by hand

06:36
And, of course, of course,

孩子们有多坏之后，
09:18
I looked at them,
152
546750
1692
我看着他们，
09:21
and I said, "So what. Now what?
153
549162
3358
然后我说：“那又怎样。现在怎办？”
09:25
What are we gonna do about it?"
154

“我们接下来要做什么？”
09:26

through a mandatory

After many observations,
160
578037
2119
经过多次观察后，
09:52
what we determined was
that teachers knew what to teach
that teachers knew what to teach
161
580180
4695
我们发现
教师知道教学的内容，
教师知道教学的内容，
09:57
but they did not know how to teach
162
585462

但却不知道如何去教

so many children
with so many vast abilities.

making it possible for all the students

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

但我们现在处理每个问题，都抱着

如果今天尚未有人跟你说他们爱你，
11:00
you remember I do, and I always will.
179

and some are completely alone.
184
665418

有些却完全孤独。
11:21
If someone asked me my real secret
185
669375

如果有人问我
我让草莓大厦高中进步的真正秘密，
11:24
for how I truly keep
Strawberry Mansion moving forward,
Strawberry Mansion moving forward,
186
672917
3926
11:29
I would have to say
that I love my students

187
677405
3133
我会说：我爱我的学生，
11:32
and I believe in their possibilities
188

2468
而且我相信他们的潜能，
11:35
unconditionally.
189

无条件的信任。
11:38
When I look at them,
190
686000

我只看得见
他们可以创造的未来，

11:43
and that is because I am one of them.
192
691869

因为我是他们其中一员。
11:48
I grew up poor in North Philadelphia too.
193
696542
2850
我也是在费城北部的贫穷家庭长大。
11:52
I know what it feels like
to go to a school that's not a school.

我知道在一所不是学校的学校上课
是什么样的滋味。

11:58
I know what it feels like to wonder

我知道当你在想
贫穷究竟有没有出路时

12:01
if there's ever going to be
any way out of poverty.
any way out of poverty.
196

到底是什么滋味。
12:06
But because of my amazing mother,
197
714092
2854
但是感谢我了不起的母亲，
12:10
I got the ability to dream
198
718496
3066
让我能够梦想，
12:13
despite the poverty that surrounded me.
199
721586
2582
尽管贫穷总在我左右。
12:17
So --

所以——

推向生活的梦想和目标，
12:25
toward their dream
and their purpose in life,

12:28
I've got to get to know who they are.
204
736769
2608
我就得去认识他们。
12:32
So I have to spend time with them,
205
740042
2852
所以我花时间跟他们相处。
12:34
so I manage the lunchroom every day.
206
742918
2400
所以我每天都管理饭堂。
12:37
(Laughter)
207
745342
1289
（笑声）
12:38
And while I'm there,
208
746655
1512
我待在饭堂时，
12:40
I talk to them
about deeply personal things,

209
748896
4018
我跟学生聊一些非常私人的事情，
12:45
and when it's their birthday,
210
753830
2083
到了他们的生日，
12:47
I sing "Happy Birthday"
211
755937
1929
我会给他们唱生日歌，
12:49
even though I cannot sing at all.
212
757890
2146
虽然我一点都不会唱歌。
12:52
(Laughter)
213
760060
2032
（笑声）
12:54
I often ask them,
214
762116
1724
我常问他们，
12:55
"Why do you want me to sing
when I cannot sing at all?"
when I cannot sing at all?"
215
763864
3933
“我一点都不会唱，
为什么你还想听我唱歌？”

12:59
(Laughter)
216
767821
1838
（笑声）
13:01
And they respond by saying,
217
769683
2184
然后他们回答说：
13:04
"Because we like feeling special."
218
772284
2376
“因为我们喜欢被特别关注感觉。”
13:08
We hold monthly town hall meetings
219
776259
2803
我们每个月都举行学生全员大会，
13:11
to listen to their concerns,
220

to find out what is on their minds.

13:24
"Why are there so many consequences?"
223
792255
2595
“为什么会有那么多惩罚？”
13:27
"Why can't we just do what we want to do?"
224
795168
2967
“为什么我们不能想做什么就做什么？”
13:30
(Laughter)
225

每次广播结束时我都会告诉他们：
14:45
"If nobody told you they loved you today,
245
873414
3853
“如果今天尚未有人跟你说他们爱你，
14:49

这不是一所学校。”——
15:03

永远地刻在我的心头。
15:06
If we are truly going
to make real progress

252
894354

如果我们要真正地
在解决贫穷问题上取得实质性的进展，
15:11
in addressing poverty,
253
899806
1968
15:13
then we have to make sure
254
901798
2144
那么我们必须确保
15:16
that every school
that serves children in poverty
that serves children in poverty
255
904442
4189
每所有贫困孩子的学校
15:20
is a real school,
256
908655
2605
都是一所真正的学校，
15:23
a school, a school --

I do not know all the answers,

我不能解决所有问题，
15:41
but what I do know is for those
of us who are privileged
of us who are privileged
262
929458
5617
但我知道，我们当中
有机会而且有责任领导
有贫困学生的学校的每个人，

15:47
and have the responsibility of leading
a school that serves children in poverty,
a school that serves children in poverty,
263
935500
5518
15:53
we must truly lead,
264
941042
2226
都必须真正地领导，
15:55
and when we are faced
with unbelievable challenges,
with unbelievable challenges,
265
943292
3625
当我们面对难以置信的挑战时，
15:58
we must stop and ask ourselves,
"So what. Now what?
"So what. Now what?
266
946941
5785
我们必须停下来问问自己，
“那又怎样。现在怎办？”
“那又怎样。现在怎办？”
16:04
What are we going to do about it?"
267
952750
2656
“我们接下来要做什么？”
16:08
And as we lead,
268
956060
1489
当我们领导时，
16:10
we must never forget
269
958063
1905
我们决不能忘记
16:12
that every single one of our students
270
960677
3216
我们的每一个学生
16:15
is just a child,
271
963917
1603
都不过是个孩子，
16:17
often scared by what the world
tells them they should be,
tells them they should be,
272
965990
4952
世界要他们成为这样那样的人
但他们往往被吓怕，
但他们往往被吓怕，
16:23
and no matter what the rest
of the world tells them they should be,
of the world tells them they should be,
273
971797
5985
无论这个世界告诉他们要做什么，
16:30
we should always provide them with hope,
274
978139
3275
我们要永远给他们希望，
16:33
our undivided attention,
275
981438
2546
给他们给予一心一意的关注，
16:36
unwavering belief in their potential,

始终坚信他们的潜能，
16:39
consistent expectations,
277
987806
2191
一直给予他们期望，
16:42
and we must tell them often,
278
990303
2436
并且必须时常告诉他们：
16:45
if nobody told them they loved them today,
279
993117
3576
如果今日尚未有人跟你们说爱你，
16:48
remember we do, and we always will.

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.
