This is a provocative little video to challenge all educators. How many children like this have slipped through our nets and have not gone on to the success that these young people eventually achieved?
What lenses do we see young people through?
How objective are we?
How passionate... How ruthlessly optimistic... How energetic... are we for every child's cause?
(view video in full screen mode... my technical skills are exposed here... I don't know how to re-code the html to make full frame appear in miniature here)
There are those pupils who... either temporarily or permanently... fall outside the reach of our assessment methods and who are therefore perceived through a certain lense by their teachers... and perhaps by themselves, their peers and society in general.
What lense do we use to see these children through and how do we help to enable and empower them?
