接著教了特殊教育 20 年，
00:34
in a low-income, low-performing school
5
22792
3000
那是一所低收入、低水準的學校，
00:38
in North Philadelphia,
6
26167
1616
位於北費城，
00:40
where crime is rampant
7
28292

那裡犯罪猖獗，
00:42
and deep poverty is
among the highest in the nation.

00:46
Shortly after I walked into my new school,
9
34958
3601
就在我走進我的新學校後不久，
00:50
a huge fight broke out among the girls.
10
38583
3917
有一群女生大打出手，
00:56
After things were quickly under control,
11
44083
2942
情況快速得到控制後，
00:59
I immediately called a meeting
12
47500
3018
我立刻召集眾人
01:02
in the school's auditorium
13
50542
2267
在學校的禮堂開會，
01:04
to introduce myself
as the school's new principal.
as the school's new principal.
14
52833
3935
介紹我自己是這學校的新校長。
01:08
(Applause)
15
56792
2916
（掌聲）
01:12
I walked in angry,
16
60458
1875
我走進去的時候懷著怒氣，
01:15
a little nervous --
17
63154
1368
還有點緊張──
01:16
(Laughter) --
18
64546
1138
（笑聲）──
01:17
but I was determined
19
65708
1750
但我下定決心
01:19
to set the tone for my new students.
20
67792
2500
要給我的新學生下點馬威。
01:23
I started listing as forcefully as I could
21
71083
3834
我以我最強硬的聲調
開始列出我對他們行為的期望，
01:26
my expectations for their behavior
22
74958
2642
01:30
and my expectations
for what they would learn in school.
for what they would learn in school.
23
78125
3958
對他們要在學校學什麼的期望。
01:34
When, all of a sudden,
24
82625
1500
突然，有個女孩
01:37
a girl way in the back of the auditorium,
25
85042
3000
在禮堂很後面的地方，
01:40
she stood up
26
88750
1292
她站了起來，
01:42
and she said, "Miss!
27
90875
1750
然後她說：「校長！校長！」
01:45
Miss!"
28
93625
1167
01:47
When our eyes locked, she said,
29
95750
3750
我們的目光鎖定後，她說：
01:52
"Why do you keep calling this a school?
30
100250
3618
「妳為什麼一直叫這裡學校？
01:56
This is not a school."
31
104708
2667
這裡不是學校。」
02:00
In one outburst,
32
108625
1792
艾希莉用這句大爆發的話，
02:03
Ashley had expressed what I felt
33
111125
3458
表達了我曾有過的感受
02:07
and never quite was able to articulate
34
115167
2750
及那難以言喻的親身經驗，
02:10
about my own experience
when I attended a low-performing school
when I attended a low-performing school
35
118292
4601
當時我唸的學校水準不高，
02:14
in the same neighborhood,
many, many, many years earlier.
many, many, many years earlier.
36
122917
3833
就位在同一個社區，
那是很久以前的事了。
那是很久以前的事了。
02:19
That school was definitely not a school.
37
127500
4125
那所學校絕對稱不上是學校。
02:25
Fast forwarding a decade later to 2012,
38
133000
4875
時間快轉十年到 2012 年，
02:31
I was entering my third
low-performing school as principal.
low-performing school as principal.
39
139083
4542
我第三度到低水準學校當校長。
02:36
I was to be Strawberry Mansion's
fourth principal in four years.
fourth principal in four years.
40
144667
4958
我是草莓屋高中
四年來的第四個校長。
四年來的第四個校長。
02:42
It was labeled "low-performing
and persistently dangerous"
and persistently dangerous"
41
150750
4375
它被標為「低水準且持續危險」，
02:47
due to its low test scores
42
155708
2893
因為其低測驗分數、
02:50
and high number of weapons,
43
158625
2726
高武器持有率、
02:53
drugs, assaults and arrests.
44
161375
2542
藥物持有率、施暴及逮捕率。
02:57
Shortly as I approached the door
of my new school
of my new school
45
165833
3893
就在我走近我新學校的大門
03:01
and attempted to enter,
46
169750
1768
並想要進入的時候，
03:03
and found the door locked with chains,
47
171542
3208
我立刻發現門是用鐵鍊鎖住的，
03:07
I could hear Ashley's voice in my ears
48
175458
3393
我似乎可以聽見艾希莉的聲音
03:10
going, "Miss! Miss!
49
178875
2958
在我耳中迴繞：「校長！校長！
03:14
This is not a school."
50
182833
2125
這不是學校！」
03:17
The halls were dim and dark
from poor lighting.
from poor lighting.
51
185792
3166
學校的走廊又黑又暗，
因為照明不足。
因為照明不足。
03:21
There were tons of piles
of broken old furniture

52
189708
3310
數不清的破舊辦公室傢俱
03:25
and desks in the classrooms,
53
193042
2267
和課桌椅堆在教室裡，
03:27
and there were thousands
of unused materials and resources.
of unused materials and resources.
54
195333
4500
還有成千上萬
未用過的教材及物品。
未用過的教材及物品。
03:32
This was not a school.
55
200625
2417
這不是學校。
03:36
As the year progressed,
56
204292
1791
隨著學年推移，
03:38
I noticed that the classrooms
were nearly empty.
were nearly empty.
57
206750
4375
我注意到教室幾乎空無一人。
03:43
The students were just scared:
58
211958
2084
學生都嚇死了：
03:46
scared to sit in rows in fear
that something would happen;
that something would happen;
59
214750
4000
嚇得不敢排排坐，
因為怕有什麼狀況發生；
因為怕有什麼狀況發生；
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
嚇壞了因為他們常常在學校餐廳
被人譏笑吃免費食物。
被人譏笑吃免費食物。
03:56
They were scared from all the fighting
and all the bullying.
and all the bullying.
61
224792
4625
他們怕死了那些打架，那些霸凌。
04:01
This was not a school.
62
229792
3458
這不是學校。
04:07
And then, there were the teachers,
63
235375
2726
此外，還有老師，
04:10
who were incredibly afraid
for their own safety,
for their own safety,
64
238125
4250
他們對自身的安危都嚇得要命，
04:14
so they had low expectations
for the students and themselves,
for the students and themselves,
65
242833
5643
所以他們對學生、
對自己的期望都很低，
對自己的期望都很低，
04:20
and they were totally
unaware of their role
unaware of their role
66
248500
3309
他們也完全不知道自己的角色
04:23
in the destruction
of the school's culture.
of the school's culture.
67
251833
2209
能對這個崩壞的學校文化做什麼。
04:26
This was the most troubling of all.
68
254500
3041
這是最令人頭疼的部分。
04:30
You see, Ashley was right,
69
258791
2834
你看，艾希莉是對的，
04:34
and not just about her school.
70
262833
1875
她說對的不僅是她的學校。
04:37
For far too many schools,
71
265667
2142
對太多太多的學校而言，
04:39
for kids who live in poverty,
72
267833
2060
對活在貧窮的孩子而言，
04:41
their schools are really
not schools at all.
not schools at all.
73
269917
2833
他們的學校真的稱不上是學校。
04:45
But this can change.
74
273583
1709
但是這可以改變。
04:47
Let me tell you how it's being done
at Strawberry Mansion High School.
at Strawberry Mansion High School.
75
275958
4667
讓我告訴你們在草莓屋高中
我們是怎麼做的。
我們是怎麼做的。
04:54
Anybody who's ever worked
with me will tell you
with me will tell you
76
282083
3292
每個跟我共事過的人都會告訴你們
04:57
I am known for my slogans.
77
285917
2041
我以口號著稱。
05:00
(Laughter)
78
288583
1042
（笑聲）
05:02
So today, I am going to use three
79
290000
3530
所以今天，我要說三個口號，
05:05
that have been paramount
in our quest for change.
in our quest for change.
80
293554
3333
是我們在尋求改變時的最高原則。
05:09
My first slogan is:
81
297917
1750
第一個口號是：
05:12
if you're going to lead, lead.
82
300458
2375
如果你要領導，就好好領導。
05:15
I always believed
83
303750
2120
我總是相信
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
學校要做什麼、不要做什麼
05:21
is up to the principal.
85
309792
1458
是由校長全權決定。
05:23
I am the principal,
86
311958
1459
我是校長，
05:25
and having that title required me to lead.
87
313833
3625
既然有那樣的頭銜就要領導。
05:30
I was not going to stay in my office,
88
318125
2697
我不要呆坐在辦公室裡，
05:32
I was not going to delegate my work,
89
320846
2821
我不要授權我的工作，
05:35
and I was not going to be afraid
to address anything
to address anything
90
323691
3445
而我也不怕去處理
05:39
that was not good for children,
91
327160
1900
對孩子不好的任何事情，
05:41
whether that made me liked or not.
92
329084
2974
無論這是否讓我受歡迎。
05:45
I am a leader,
93
333228
1713
我是領導人，
05:46
so I know I cannot do anything alone.
94
334965
3098
因此我知道我不能孤軍奮戰。
05:50
So, I assembled
a top-notch leadership team
a top-notch leadership team
95
338788
2663
所以我組了一個頂尖的領導團隊，
05:53
who believed in the possibility
of all the children,
of all the children,
96
341475
3084
這個團隊相信學童無窮的可能性，
05:56
and together, we tackled the small things,
97
344583
3849
我們一同合作解決一些小事，
06:00
like resetting every single
locker combination by hand
locker combination by hand
98
348456
4603
像是親手重設
每一個衣物櫃的號碼鎖，
每一個衣物櫃的號碼鎖，
06:05
so that every student
could have a secure locker.
could have a secure locker.
99
353083
2914
所以每個學生都有能上鎖的衣物櫃，
06:08
We decorated every
bulletin board in that building
bulletin board in that building
100
356583
3432
我們布置了那座建築物裡的
每一面布告欄，
每一面布告欄，
06:12
with bright, colorful,
and positive messages.
and positive messages.
101
360039
2853
放上明亮鮮豔的色彩
及正面積極的話語。

06:15
We took the chains off
the front doors of the school.
the front doors of the school.
102
363428
3127
我們把學校前門的鎖鍊拿掉。
06:18
We got the lightbulbs replaced,
103
366579
2095
我們更換燈泡，
06:20
and we cleaned
every classroom to its core,

06:28
and discarded thousands
of old materials and furniture.
of old materials and furniture.
106
376377
3930
並丟棄成千上萬的舊教材及傢俱。
06:32
We used two dumpsters per day.
107
380692
2876
我們每天都裝滿兩大箱垃圾。
06:36
And, of course, of course,
108
384875
2557
而且，理所當然，
06:39
we tackled the big stuff,
109
387456
1936
我們也處理大問題，
06:41
like rehauling the entire school budget
110
389857
3922
像是重新編列學校的所有預算，
06:45
so that we can reallocate funds
to have more teachers and support staff.
to have more teachers and support staff.
111
393803
4855
讓我們能重新分配專款
聘請更多老師及支援職員。
聘請更多老師及支援職員。
06:51
We rebuilt the entire
school day schedule from scratch

112
399733
5535
我們重新建立學校的日課表，
06:57
to add a variety of start and end times,
113
405292
3879
增加了不同的開始及結束時間、

補救課程、
優異學生預修大專院校課程、

這些都在學校上課的時間完成。
07:11
All during the school day.
117
419717
1933
都在學校上課的時間完成。
07:16
We created a deployment plan
118
424217
2991
我們還做了一個調度表，
07:20
that specified where every single
support person and police officer would be
support person and police officer would be
119
428473
5648
指定每一個職員及警察
07:26
every minute of the day,
120
434145
1404
每一天每一分鐘的崗位，
07:27
and we monitored
at every second of the day,
at every second of the day,
121
435573
3903
我們還監控每一天每一秒鐘的狀況，
07:31
and, our best invention ever,
122
439500
2775
還有，我們最棒的發明
07:34
we devised a schoolwide
discipline program

123
442299

就是設計了一套全校紀律計畫，
07:37
titled "Non-negotiables."
124
445957
1735
名為「絕不妥協」。
07:40
It was a behavior system --

07:44
designed to promote
positive behavior at all times.

Leaders make the impossible possible.
132
476732

領導者讓不可能成為可能。
08:13
That brings me to my second slogan:
133
481939
2054
這帶出我的第二個口號：
08:16
So what? Now what?
134
484865
2602
那又怎樣？現在要怎麼辦？
08:19
(Laughter)

When we looked at the data,

493483
1834
在我們看數據，
08:27
and we met with the staff,
138
495718
2070
並與職員會談的時候，
08:29
there were many excuses
139
497812
1914
會聽到好多藉口，
08:31
for why Strawberry Mansion was
low-performing and persistently dangerous.

140
499750

為什麼草莓屋高中
低水準又持續危險。

1692
我看著他們，
09:21
and I said, "So what. Now what?

然後我說：
「那又怎樣？現在要怎麼辦？」

After many observations,
160
578037
2119
在多次觀察後，
09:52
what we determined was
that teachers knew what to teach
that teachers knew what to teach
161
580180
4695
我們判定老師知道要教什麼，
09:57
but they did not know how to teach
162
585462
2764
但是他們不知道要怎麼教
10:00
so many children

11:29
I would have to say

我會說是因為我愛我的學生，
11:32
and I believe in their possibilities

2468
而且我相信他們的無限可能，
11:35
unconditionally.
189
683427
1526
無條件相信！
11:38
When I look at them,
190
686000
1637
當我看著他們，
11:40
I can only see what they can become,
191
688235
2772
我眼裡只看見他們能成為什麼，
11:43
and that is because I am one of them.
192
691869
3695
那是因為我也走過他們的路。
11:48
I grew up poor in North Philadelphia too.
193
696542
2850
我也在貧窮的北費城長大。
11:52
I know what it feels like
to go to a school that's not a school.

if there's ever going to be
any way out of poverty.
any way out of poverty.
196
709458
3650
到底有沒有辦法擺脫窮困的感覺。
12:06
But because of my amazing mother,
197
714092
2854
但是因為我偉大的母親，
12:10
I got the ability to dream

718496
3066
我還能夢想，
12:13
despite the poverty that surrounded me.
199
721586
2582
儘管我身在貧窮的環境之中。
12:17
So --

204
736769
2608
我一定要了解他們的一切。
12:32
So I have to spend time with them,
205
740042
2852
所以我得要花時間與他們相處，
12:34
so I manage the lunchroom every day.
206
742918
2400
所以我每天都去管理學校餐廳。
12:37
(Laughter)
207
745342
1289
（笑聲）
12:38
And while I'm there,
208
746655
1512
我在那裡的時候，
12:40
I talk to them
about deeply personal things,
about deeply personal things,
209
748896
4018
我與他們談談非常私人的話題，
12:45
and when it's their birthday,
210
753830
2083
在他們生日的時候，
12:47
I sing "Happy Birthday"
211
755937
1929
我就唱「生日快樂」，
12:49
even though I cannot sing at all.
212
757890
2146
即使我根本不會唱歌。
12:52
(Laughter)
213
760060
2032
（笑聲）
12:54
I often ask them,

我常問他們，
12:55
"Why do you want me to sing
when I cannot sing at all?"

「你為什麼要我唱歌？
我根本不會唱歌啊？」

12:59
(Laughter)
216
767821
1838
（笑聲）
13:01
And they respond by saying,
217
769683
2184
他們就會說：
13:04
"Because we like feeling special."
218
772284
2376
「因為我們喜歡受到
特殊待遇的感覺。」
特殊待遇的感覺。」
13:08
We hold monthly town hall meetings
219
776259
2803
我們每個月都開一次全員大會，
13:11
to listen to their concerns,
220
779611
2930
聽聽他們的苦惱，
13:14
to find out what is on their minds.
221
782565

找出他們心中的想法，
13:18
They ask us questions like,
"Why do we have to follow rules?"
"Why do we have to follow rules?"

"Why can't we just do what we want to do?"
224
795168

「為什麼我們不能隨心所欲？」
13:30
(Laughter)
225

2838
我總是用同樣的話結束我的廣播：
14:45
"If nobody told you they loved you today,
245
873414
3853
「如果今天沒有人告訴你他們愛你，
14:49

永遠都烙印在我心上。
15:06
If we are truly going

解決貧窮上取得實質的進展，
15:11
in addressing poverty,

and when we are faced
with unbelievable challenges,
with unbelievable challenges,
265
943292
3625
在我們面對難以置信的挑戰時，
15:58
we must stop and ask ourselves,
"So what. Now what?
"So what. Now what?
266
946941
5785
我們一定要停下來問問自己，
「那又怎麼樣？現在要怎麼辦？」

我們的每一個學生
16:15
is just a child,
271
963917

都還是個孩子，
16:17
often scared by what the world
tells them they should be,
tells them they should be,
272
965990
4952
常常被這個世界對他們的期待嚇到，
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
而無論外面的世界
對他們的期待是什麼，
對他們的期待是什麼，

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.
