Transcription partielle du discours de Brett Wigdortz au WISE

Thousands of them (Teach First Alumni), almost two-thirds have remained in teaching, going on to take leadership positions in schools, leading classrooms, leading departments, we recently found out that our teachers are seven times more likely to move into a leadership role five years after starting teaching than most other new teachers. We have about twenty head teachers already, and many have even set up their own schools which defy the odds and deliver leading results with children who were once cast off as coals. And others have taken their experience to the highest levels of policy-making, working at the heart of government to ensure that politicians never let any child be written off, many are drawing business engagement with our schools, leading our biggest companies in the UK to invest in the future of our economy which is children, many are establishing their own people-powered innovation, charities like a social work program like Frontline which is now recruiting about 200 top people to be children’s social workers across the country, as well as thirty other social enterprises we’re partnering with. And the model of people powered change has not only been adopted in education, but it’s been adopted not just in the social work example, but also now in police, in mental health, and in other areas of the UK, and all modeled on some of the work we’re doing at Teach First. All recognizing that if we want to tackle some of these huge entrenched problems in society, it’s not simply about money, it’s not simply about a good idea, it’s about attracting, investing in, and deploying the best people to where they can make the biggest difference and ensuring that people are the ones who power this change.
