Glimpses of 13th Ed Leadership International Roundtable - A Virtual Conference

 

Dear Education Leader
Change has power. Circumstances are impressing upon us to change in many deep and profound ways. Surely, we want to link education better to life’s purpose, inspire the teacher within us, develop deeper and more meaningful relationships, set new standards, and go meet them. Education needs a new renaissance. It is time to re-imagine, re-structure, and re-create a new and more meaningful education.

Let's convert our dreams into reality, arbitrate the strategies guided by vision and supported by research and evidence.

CREATING CONVERSATIONS that lead to change

From the first Global TIE in 2006, and 12 successive Ed Leadership International Conferences, GETI has evolved to be a piazza for thoughtful innovations in the field of education. We endeavor to create conversations that shape a new mind-set and help build a consensus for a bolder and broader education that is most urgently needed.
From our Innovation-in-Process fellowship, to the GETI #DisruptiveEducation Movement, launched during the lockdown period in India, we have brought together some 2500 school heads, together with hosting of some 600 Live Talks from our GETI Live Talk forum.
The Ed Leadership Conference is an annual event organized by GETI, enthusiastically participated in by educationists, school heads, policy makers and educators from all over the world. This has marshaled some of the most insightful people and global education leaders, to help us spearhead the next quantum leap in education.
In a year that has brought new & existing issues to the forefront, you are invited to participate in the 13Ed Leadership International Roundtable and lend your perspective to lead Change and make a radically different education possible.

Dr Jagdish Gandhi

Founder-Manager, CMS

Mr. Jagdish Gandhi founded the City Montessori School (CMS) in 1959 with only 5 students. Today, CMS is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest school by pupils with over 36,000 students on rolls. CMS has also been awarded the highly prestigious UNESCO Prize for Peace Education 2002 - the only school in the world to be honoured with this award. CMS also organizes 24 international events as part of its unique educational philosophy and hundreds of thousands of children from all over the world participate in these events every year. Consequently, the CMS educational model which believes that "School must be the Lighthouse of Society" and which upholds that nurturing spiritual awareness in children must be the central focus of all educational activities, has grown into a veritable school of thought, impacting schools and educational organisations worldwide.

Roshan Gandhi

Chief Executive Officer of City Montessori School,

Mr Roshan Gandhi has been conferred with the ‘India’s Most Impactful School Leader’ award bringing fame to the CMS fraternity. Mr Roshan Gandhi has been presented this honour by Indian Principals’ Network (IPN Foundation) for his exemplary leadership in the field of education. He was felicitated as India’s most impactful school leader at a honouring ceremony held online at Zoom app recently. Chief Public Relations Officer of CMS, Mr Hari Om Sharma informed that the 397 school leaders from across the country had been nominated for this very prestigious award, out of which, the jury members selected 27 school leaders after a rigorous assessment procedure. Mr Roshan Gandhi was among these 27 school leaders.

Mr Sharma further added that a pass out of Oxford University, London, Mr Roshan Gandhi has emerged as a youth icon and has earlier been felicitated by many other educational organizations as well, for his exceptional leadership skills. He has introduced a number of educational reforms for students at all levels including extensive use of technology for education. It is due to Mr Gandhi’s farsighted vision that the teaching-learning process did not stop even for a single day at CMS during the pandemic. With Mr. Gandhi’s effort, the CMS E-learning Department was established much before the corona crisis. This department mobilized all teachers and students to become well trained in the use of various important educational applications and as soon as the lockdown began, CMS was all set to conduct classes online. Mr. Sharma said that with his impactful leadership and innovative ideas, Mr. Roshan Gandhi is leading the school towards technological and educational advancement.

Mari-Pauliina

MA (Psychology), postgraduate student (Special Education)
Project manager
Centre for Educational Assessment
University of Helsinki, Finland
FINLAND

The goals of basic education have expanded from developing students’ competences in the curricular subjects to enhancing their cross-curricular or transversal skills which are needed for all learning later in life. The Centre for Educational Assessment at the University of Helsinki was established in 1996 to develop an instrument for measuring learning to learn as the foundation for lifelong learning. Today, the Centre works in collaboration with schools and municipalities in the fields of educational assessment, research and development.

As the project manager of the Centre I am committed to the further development of methods for assessing educational equity in Finnish schools and for ensuring that assessment results and research can be utilized in developing practices at school-level. I also work as the vice-NPM of Finland in PISA 2015, coordinating the assessment of collaborative problem-solving.

I am particulary interested in the development of learning to learn skills - cognitive compentences and learning-related attitudes - in primary school, and the role of group processes in explaining differences in the development of pupils' learning-related attitudes. I am also interested in the implementation of the new three-tiered support model in Finnish schools - after all the Finnish way of supporting the weakest pupils can be seen as one of the key factors explaining the country's success in international comparisons such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Dr Vimala Ramachandran

Director, Education Research unit (ERU) Consultants Pvt Ltd. Delhi, India

My talk will draw upon the draft report of the GOI-NCPCR committee that was constituted to develop guidelines on corporal punishment and related issues. I start with the theoretical and legal framework of corporal punishment, mental harassment and discrimination in schools – and build on it to argue for a nuanced understanding of the words we use – like discipline, punishment, harassment etc. I will then briefly delve on the legal basis of corporal punishment, in order to capture the context in which laws are made and enforced. What are we so concerned about CP? I will try and go into the different dimensions of this question and conclude my talk with some ways in which teachers, schools administrators and parents can address the issue in a sensitive and child-friendly manner. Needless to say, I will include discussions on the rights and enablement of children and of teachers. I hope to use concrete examples to illustrate my arguments.

Learning begins at birth and it continues till the death. Strong evidence from research shows that high quality early education and child care have a positive and a tremendous effects on children’s. Physical skills – body and muscle development; Cognitive skills–memory, attention; Language skills – comprehension, expression; Pre-academic skills – letters, numbers; Social competence – work & play well with peers, work well with adults; Emotional well – being. And that poor quality early education and care have negative effects. Even during the pre-natal development a huge capacities are made for the right kind of nursing and support. So, we need to give maximum emphasis on establishing a comprehensive approach to early childhood care and education and fostering an environment conducive to a child’s learning and self expression. So it is very important to know for the humanity that what is learning and how a child’s development takes place. Learning is a relatively permanent change in behaviour. It is relatively an improvement status in the ability of a skill. Learning is a changed state of one’s feeling about an object or a phenomenon. Learning is neurobiological process and it takes place in the brain. It works through genetically set neuronal networks.

Ms Grace Musumeci

Educationist Australia, Mahatma Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram

The Asha Mahatma Gandhi Project was started in June 2006 to serve the poorest young children in rural areas of India. The first Casa opened at the Gandhi Ashram with 20 children ages 2.6 to 3 years old. Another 20 students joined the class in 2007, including some with severe disabilities. Grace Musumeci, who founded this program, donates her time to guide the children as well as to train the local women to assist in the classroom.

Her hope is to help establish Montessori Casas in rural India, which means providing the basic materials – hopefully for local tradesmen to use as models to make themselves, and to train the local village women to become teachers.

As the Ashram is open to the public, some of those who visit from either smaller, more isolated villages in Maharashtra itself, or from other parts of India, request that Grace visit them to help set up a Casa in their village also. In January of 2008 she will go to Bodh Gaya in Bihar, the place where Buddha attained enlightenment, which is one of the most poverty-stricken and violent states in India. A young man who came to the Ashram observed the children and asked for help in setting up a Casa there.

Grace sees this as her gift – to be given the opportunity to help the whole village by giving them the best education we know there is to offer. Eventually her hope is that there will be little Montessori Casas dotted all around India.

In order to see this vision realized, donations are needed to provide training and materials. Your help would be much appreciated in helping these children who have so many obstacles to their development. When Ghandi was alive he began ‘Nai Talim’ meaning ‘New Education’ which rings so consonantly with Dr. Montessori’s ideas of educational reform.

List of Speakers, 11th International Roundtable 4rd - 6th October, 2018

Vicki Abeles

Filmmaker, Education Advocate

Listen first-hand to the Director, Vicki Abeles,who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and who left her career as a corporate lawyer to become a passionate education advocate. Vicki will be in India at Ed Leadership to screen her sensational documentary that ranks 20th among the most successful documentaries ever.

It isn't often that a third of a movie audience sticks around to discuss its message, but that is the effect of "Race to Nowhere," a look at the downside of childhoods spent on resumebuilding. The New York Times calls Vicki Abeles' film "a must see movie"; The Washington Post describes it as "a growing grass-roots phenomenon." President Obama greeted its stars at the White House.

Mike Buchanan

Leadership Coach, Unified Learning

Mike Buchanan has been Head of Ashford School in Kent since 2005 where he has overseen its transformation from a small girls' school to a thriving all-age, coeducational day/boarding, independent school of over 1,000 children and young people.

He has experience in secondary education, all-through schools and boarding, and has held a variety of leadership posts in London and elsewhere. He helped to establish two state-funded Academies in London and a Free School in Kent. He is a Governor of several leading independent schools, a trustee of a children's charity, a Reporting Inspector, a National Leader of Education, a qualified Executive Coach and plays at being a farmer. He is currently the Chair of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) which represents the leading independent schools in the UK and worldwide.

Mike's interests are in school culture and climate, coaching, leadership, inspection, character development, the use of positive psychology in education and the role of independent schools within the worldwide educational landscape. He writes periodically for national newspapers including the TES and speaks on all of the above at conferences and more.

Dr. Neelam Parmar

Director of E-Learning

Dr. Neelam Parmar currently works as Director of E-Learning at Ashford School, United Learning Trusts. She was previously employed as The Director of Digital Learning across The London Preparatory Schools in South West London. As Head of ICT and Kew Green Preparatory School, Neelam was instrumental in leading the transformational change of embedding technology within learning and development.

Prior to this, Neelam was appointed as a Learning Advisor at the Educational Development Services for Bournemouth University. She has recently completed her PhD in Developing a Pedagogy using New Technology with young children and is committed to empowering teachers to use technology in constructive and purposeful ways. She has spoken in several conferences on topics of The Computing Curriculum and The Integration of Mobile Technology Strategy in education. Neelam is currently writing books on Digital Literacy with Hopscotch Publishers for the primary years and has vision to build a virtual school environment for young children.

Aaron Eden

Board of Directors for The Institute for Applied Tinkering

Aaron has been transforming education since way back when he hacked his own high school experience. He has been designing and facilitating novel learning experiences with and for others ever since.

Having started an instructional technology company while earning his Bachelor's degrees at university (B.A. Anthropology; B.S. Geology) and culminating his formal education with a Master's degree in Instructional Science and Technology, he has since followed a path of innovation and transformation through multiple industries and all levels of education.

Restorative and co-creative practices lie at the core of Aaron's work, with a focus on building 'containers' supporting peak performance and innovation. The containers are agnostic, ranging from corporate culture, to classrooms, to conferences-with intentional feedback loops supporting continual evolution and building internal capacity.

Aaron recently 'edsplored' the world with his wife and three children, has lived and worked internationally, and is currently based on the Central Coast of California, from where he also serves on the board of the Institute for Applied Tinkering, and works with the managing team of the Alliance for Self-Directed Education.

Roman J Stearns,

Senior Consultant, Eliad Group

As a professional coach, facilitator, trainer, and consultant, Roman operates from a deep conviction that our youth deserve an education that fosters the qualities and skills that futurists, scholars, and researchers contend are needed to advance us toward a sustainable future. Yet, he knows that getting there is a humbling, collaborative process that involves valuing local experimentation and taking risks, creating the right conditions for organizational change, building trusting relationships, shifting hearts and minds, making strategic decisions, and ultimately adopting or adapting sustainable systems.

His humility and quiet confidence nurture trusting relationships with clients, who describe him as "a skilled communicator," "a wise advisor," and "patient facilitator who gets results."
