Transforming my school

We find out how we can better accompany schools through practice and by helping others to do so. These experiences lead us to value:

1. Supportive management.
2. Actors who take back ownership of their school.
3. A flexible and systemic approach.

This document explains these change principles and give examples.

Transforming a class has consequences on the way learners see the world.

We have identified 5 values ​​on which to insist with teachers and students to favour their change of posture, during the transition. These 5 values are easily remembered by students and be used on a daily basis as a guide, as common vocabulary with them.

1. Excellence
2. Instructive Mistake
3. Empowerment
4. Mutual Aid
5. Kindness

How to transform a school?

Do not even try to answer that question: people and organizations cannot be transformed, they only can transform themselves from the inside. Some may not be ready to be transformed.

If you want a school to go through a transformation, your role is to:

• Present a goal to be reached, it has to be a motivating goal that can encourage people to make efforts to step out of their comfort zone.
• Facilitate their journey, by informing them about the traps and providing them with the tools.

This document outlines a path developed through our personal experience. It directs the reader towards all other documents that describe each step in more detail.
