Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith
In this episode, we are joined by Will Goldsmith, Head of Bedales School.
This was fascinating. We covered:
- Removing unnecessary hierarchies
- Promoting student agency and responsibility
- Co-curating a community WITH students
- Developing value to the wider educational system
- Preparing students in school for specific academic curricula
- Bringing your authentic self to your work
Will and his team announced last year about scaling down GCSEs in their school. It won’t take a rocket science to realise that this resonated with me & Steve! This has been mischaracterised as scrapping exams or arrogant ‘you must do what we do’ proselytising. The link to one of the articles is here.
