Već prvog dana na mestu direktorice neuspešne srednje škole u Severnoj Filadelfiji, Linda Klijat-Vejman je bila odlučna da zavede red. Ali je ubrzo shvatila da je posao složeniji nego što je mislila. S opipljivom strašću, ona deli sa nama tri načela koja su joj pomogla da preokrene tri škole, koje su bile označene kao "niskorangirane i trajno opasne". Njena neustrašiva odlučnost da vodi - i voli đake, uprkos svemu - je uzor za vođe iz svih oblasti.

Nedugo nakon što sam ušetala

00:50
a huge fight broke out among the girls.

Nakon što su stvari
ubrzo bile pod kontrolom,

00:59
I immediately called a meeting
12

odmah sam sazvala sastanak
01:02
in the school's auditorium
13
50542

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

01:12
I walked in angry,
16
60458
1875
Ušla sam ljutito,
01:15
a little nervous --
17
63154
1368
pomalo nervozno -
01:16
(Laughter) --
18
64546
1138
(Smeh) -
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
da podesim ton za moje nove đake.
01:23
I started listing as forcefully as I could
21
71083
3834
Počela sam da navodim,
što sam odvažnije mogla,
što sam odvažnije mogla,
01:26
my expectations for their behavior
22
74958
2642
kako očekujem da se ponašaju
01:30
and my expectations
for what they would learn in school.
for what they would learn in school.
23
78125
3958
i šta očekujem od njih da nauče u školi.
01:34
When, all of a sudden,
24
82625
1500
A onda je iznenada
01:37
a girl way in the back of the auditorium,
25
85042
3000
devojka skroz s kraja sale
01:40
she stood up
26
88750
1292
ustala
01:42
and she said, "Miss!
27
90875
1750
i rekla: "Gospođo!
01:45
Miss!"
28
93625
1167
Gospođo!"
01:47
When our eyes locked, she said,
29
95750
3750
Kada su nam se pogledi sreli, rekla je:
01:52
"Why do you keep calling this a school?
30
100250
3618
"Zašto ovo stalno nazivate školom?
01:56
This is not a school."
31
104708
2667
Ovo nije škola."
02:00
In one outburst,
32
108625
1792
Jednim izlivom,
02:03
Ashley had expressed what I felt
33
111125
3458
Ešli je izrazila ono što sam ja osećala
02:07
and never quite was able to articulate
34
115167
2750
i nikada nisam bila u stanju
da do kraja artikulišem,

Škola je označena kao
"niskorangirana i trajno opasna"

02:47
due to its low test scores
42
155708

zbog loših rezultata na testovima
02:50
and high number of weapons,
43

vratima moje nove škole

03:01
and attempted to enter,
46
169750
1768
i krenula da uđem,
03:03
and found the door locked with chains,
47
171542
3208
otkrila sam da su vrata zaključana lancem,
03:07
I could hear Ashley's voice in my ears
48
175458
3393
i mogla sam da čujem Ešlinin glas u uhu
03:10
going, "Miss! Miss!
49
178875
2958
kako govori: "Gospođo! Gospođo!
03:14
This is not a school."
50
182833
2125
Ovo nije škola."
03:17
The halls were dim and dark
from poor lighting.

Bilo je na tone hrpa
polomljenog starog nameštaja

03:25
and desks in the classrooms,
53
193042

i klupa u učionicama,
03:27
and there were thousands
of unused materials and resources.

03:32
This was not a school.
55
200625
2417
To nije bila škola.
03:36
As the year progressed,
56
204292
1791
Kako je godina prolazila,
03:38
I noticed that the classrooms
were nearly empty.
were nearly empty.
57
206750
4375
primetila sam da su učionice skoro prazne.
03:43
The students were just scared:
58
211958
2084
Đaci su bili naprosto preplašeni:
03:46
scared to sit in rows in fear
that something would happen;
that something would happen;
59
214750
4000
preplašeni da sede u redovima,
strahujući da bi se nešto moglo desiti;
strahujući da bi se nešto moglo desiti;
03:51
scared because they were often teased
in the cafeteria for eating free food.

60
219583
4750
preplašeni jer su ih često zadirkivali
u menzi zato što jedu besplatnu hranu.
u menzi zato što jedu besplatnu hranu.
03:56
They were scared from all the fighting
and all the bullying.
and all the bullying.
61
224792
4625
Bili su preplašeni
od svih tih svađa i maltretiranja.
od svih tih svađa i maltretiranja.
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
A potom, tu su bili profesori,
04:10
who were incredibly afraid
for their own safety,
for their own safety,
64
238125
4250
koji su bili izuzetno uplašeni
za sopstvenu sigurnost,
za sopstvenu sigurnost,
04:14
so they had low expectations
for the students and themselves,
for the students and themselves,
65
242833
5643
te su imali mala očekivanja
i od đaka i od sebe samih
i od đaka i od sebe samih
04:20
and they were totally
unaware of their role

66
248500
3309
i bili su u potpunosti
nesvesni svoje uloge

04:23
in the destruction
of the school's culture.
of the school's culture.
67
251833
2209
u uništavanju školske kulture.
04:26
This was the most troubling of all.
68
254500
3041
To je zabrinjavalo više od svega drugog.
04:30
You see, Ashley was right,
69
258791
2834
Vidite, Ešli je bila u pravu
04:34
and not just about her school.
70
262833
1875
i ne samo za njenu školu.
04:37
For far too many schools,
71
265667
2142
Jer isuviše mnogo škola
04:39
for kids who live in poverty,
72
267833
2060
za siromašnu decu,
04:41
their schools are really
not schools at all.
not schools at all.
73
269917
2833
njihove škole uistinu nisu uopšte škole.
04:45
But this can change.
74
273583
1709
Ali ovo može da se promeni.
04:47
Let me tell you how it's being done
at Strawberry Mansion High School.

75
275958
4667
Dozvolite da vam ispričam kako se to radi

u srednjoj školi "Stroberi menšn".
04:54
Anybody who's ever worked
with me will tell you
with me will tell you
76
282083
3292
Svako ko je ikada sa mnom radio
će vam reći
će vam reći
04:57
I am known for my slogans.
77
285917
2041
da sam poznata po svojim sloganima.
05:00
(Laughter)
78
288583
1042
(Smeh)
05:02
So today, I am going to use three
79
290000
3530
Zato ću danas da koristim tri
05:05
that have been paramount
in our quest for change.
in our quest for change.
80
293554
3333
koja su bila od izuzetne važnosti
u našem pohodu na promene.
u našem pohodu na promene.
05:09
My first slogan is:
81
297917
1750
Moj prvi slogan glasi:
05:12
if you're going to lead, lead.
82
300458
2375
ako ćeš da budeš vođa, vodi.
05:15
I always believed
83
303750
2120
Oduvek sam verovala
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 je ono što se dešava u školi,
kao i ono što se ne dešava
kao i ono što se ne dešava
05:21
is up to the principal.
85
309792
1458
odgovornost direktora.
05:23
I am the principal,
86
311958
1459
Ja sam direktorka
05:25
and having that title required me to lead.
87
313833
3625
a ta titula je od mene zahtevala
da budem vođa.
da budem vođa.
05:30
I was not going to stay in my office,
88
318125
2697
Nisam želela da budem u kancelariji,
05:32
I was not going to delegate my work,
89
320846
2821
da prebacujem posao na druge
05:35
and I was not going to be afraid
to address anything
to address anything
90
323691
3445
i nisam zazirala od bavljenja bilo čime
05:39
that was not good for children,
91
327160
1900
što nije bilo dobro za decu,
05:41
whether that made me liked or not.
92
329084
2974
bez obzira da li su me drugi
zbog toga voleli ili ne.
zbog toga voleli 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
pa znam da ništa ne mogu da uradim sama.
05:50
So, I assembled
a top-notch leadership team
a top-notch leadership team
95
338788
2663
Zato sam okupila
vrhunsku ekipu u rukovodstvu
vrhunsku ekipu u rukovodstvu
05:53
who believed in the possibility
of all the children,
of all the children,
96
341475
3084
koja je verovala u to
da su sva deca sposobna
da su sva deca sposobna
05:56
and together, we tackled the small things,
97
344583
3849
i zajedno smo se bavili malim stvarima,
06:00
like resetting every single
locker combination by hand
locker combination by hand
98
348456
4603
poput ručnog menjanja
svih šifri na sandučićima
svih šifri na sandučićima
06:05
so that every student
could have a secure locker.
could have a secure locker.
99
353083
2914
kako bi svaki đak imao bezbedno sanduče.
06:08
We decorated every
bulletin board in that building

100
356583
3432
Ukrasili smo sve oglasne table u zgradi
06:12
with bright, colorful,

101
360039
2853
svetlim, šarenolikim
i pozitivnim porukama.

06:15
We took the chains off
the front doors of the school.
the front doors of the school.
102
363428
3127
Skinuli smo lance s ulaznih vrata škole.
06:18
We got the lightbulbs replaced,
103
366579
2095
Zamenili smo sijalice
06:20
and we cleaned
every classroom to its core,
every classroom to its core,
104
368698
3156
i sve učionice očistili da blistaju,
06:23
recycling every, every textbook
that was not needed,

105
371878
4475
reciklirali smo ama baš sve udžbenike
koji nisu bili u upotrebi

06:28
and discarded thousands
of old materials and furniture.

106
376377
3930
i rešili se na hiljadu
starih stvari i nameštaja.
starih stvari i nameštaja.
06:32
We used two dumpsters per day.
107
380692
2876
Napunili bi po dva kontejnera dnevno.
06:36
And, of course, of course,
108
384875
2557
I naravno, naravno
06:39
we tackled the big stuff,
109
387456
1936
bavili smo se krupnim stvarima,
06:41
like rehauling the entire school budget
110
389857
3922
poput izmene celokupnog školskog budžeta
da bismo mogli da preusmerimo sredstva

06:51
We rebuilt the entire
school day schedule from scratch

112
399733

Potpuno smo izmenili
dnevni školski plan rada

06:57
to add a variety of start and end times,
113
405292

kako bismo dodali

07:11
All during the school day.
117

Sve to u toku radnog dana.
07:16
We created a deployment plan
118
424217
2991
Napravili smo plan razvrstavanja
07:20
that specified where every single
support person and police officer would be

07:26
every minute of the day,

and we monitored
at every second of the day,

i vršili smo nadzor svakog sekunda u danu,
07:31
and, our best invention ever,
122
439500
2775
a naš najbolji izum ikada
07:34
we devised a schoolwide
discipline program

123
442299

je to što smo osmislili disciplinski
program na nivou škole

07:37
titled "Non-negotiables."
124
445957
1735
koga smo naslovili "Bez pogovora".
07:40
It was a behavior system --

To je bio sistem ponašanja -
07:44
designed to promote
positive behavior at all times.

I would have to say

When I look at them,

I can only see what they can become,
191
688235
2772
vidim samo šta bi mogli da postanu,
11:43
and that is because I am one of them.
192
691869

a to je zato što sam jedna od njih.

I grew up poor in North Philadelphia too.

12:06
But because of my amazing mother,
197

2608
moram da ih upoznam.
12:32
So I have to spend time with them,
205
740042
2852
Zato moram da provodim vreme s njima,
12:34
so I manage the lunchroom every day.
206
742918
2400
pa svakodnevno upravljam menzom.
12:37
(Laughter)
207
745342
1289
(Smeh)
12:38
And while I'm there,
208
746655
1512
I dok sam tamo,
12:40
I talk to them
about deeply personal things,

209
748896
4018
razgovaram s njima
o duboko ličnim stvarima

12:45
and when it's their birthday,
210
753830
2083
i kada im je rođendan
12:47
I sing "Happy Birthday"
211
755937
1929
pevam: "Srećan rođendan",
12:49
even though I cannot sing at all.
212
757890
2146
iako uopšte ne znam da pevam.
12:52
(Laughter)
213
760060
2032
(Smeh)
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 vam pevam,
kad ja uopšte ne znam da pevam?"
kad ja uopšte ne znam da pevam?"
12:59
(Laughter)
216
767821
1838
(Smeh)
13:01
And they respond by saying,
217
769683
2184
A oni mi odgovaraju rečima:
13:04
"Because we like feeling special."
218
772284
2376
"Jer volimo da se osećamo posebnima."
13:08
We hold monthly town hall meetings
219
776259
2803
Držimo mesečne sastanke veća
13:11
to listen to their concerns,
220
779611
2930
kako bismo saslušali njihove brige,
13:14
to find out what is on their minds.
221
782565
3761
kako bismo saznali o čemu razmišljaju.
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 nam ovakva pitanja:
"Zašto moramo da poštujemo pravila?"
"Zašto moramo da poštujemo pravila?"
13:24
"Why are there so many consequences?"
223
792255
2595
"Čemu tolike posledice?"
13:27
"Why can't we just do what we want to do?"
224
795168
2967
"Zašto ne možemo
da radimo što nam je volja?"

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.
