We’re continuing our conversation on the ideologies of progressive education and how to put them into practice. We’ve talked about the origins of the progressive education movement, the philosophy behind it, and why it works so well for students, families, communities, and teachers. Now we’re talking to two teachers who have been working in progressive education for a while. We dive into more of the details surrounding putting it into practice.  Sarah Giles teaches in a two-three multi-age classroom at Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School. Tim O'Connor is a middle school mathematics teacher, currently at Francis W. Parker School in Chicago. He has many years of experience and has been involved in teaching math in grades six through 12 in England, Ireland, New Zealand, and the US.  We talk about what these progressive schools are doing, how they keep their students engaged, and the barriers blocking progressive education from being introduced to more schools.

Claims senior school students in the Auckland region will be severely affected by the Covid-19 Alert Level Three lockdown.For the next 11 days, Auckland students in years 11 to 13 cannot attend school, and will have to learn from home.Other students are being told to stay home, but if they can't be supervised, they can go to school.Auckland Grammar headmaster Tim O'Connor told Francesca Rudkin it's an unfair disadvantage for students who are preparing for NCEA or Cambridge exams."The loss of face-to-face teaching, you can't underestimate the impact of that, it will be significant. So there will be two weeks loss compared to the rest of the country."

COMMENT:If the Government's own level system applied to their moods, in terms of 1 being the most relaxed, I think they might be red lining at a hard 4 right now.From kindness, teddy bears and happy dances, it appears our team of five million is not behaving itself at the moment. Mum's angry, and we're all being sent to our room. Or the naughty corner.So the PM's angry, Grant Robertson's "disappointed", and Stuart Nash yesterday was quite frankly apoplectic.He was "bloody angry", he said, with Auckland Grammar's headmaster Tim O'Connor, who had the audacity to suggest that the Ministry of Education had cocked up the free modems by sending a bunch of them out to the wrong schools and the wrong families.Nash was furious that O'Connor hadn't "come down from his ivory tower" to hop in a school van, and take those modems to a school in South Auckland. As though it was up to individual principals to solve the Government's problems and mistakes, rectify them by taking the law into their own hands and handing out modems wherever they saw fit.The bit Nash missed in his blind fury was that the modems are labelled to individual families, they've been sent out by the ministry, they are the ministry's property, therefore individual principals are not about to go ripping off labels and redistributing modems willy nilly.And imagine if they did? You'd never hear the end of it.Instead, O'Connor did the right thing, he contacted the ministry to let it know about its mistake. Embarrassingly, the ministry didn't even bother to get back to him. The ministry didn't quite seem to have the same urgency about it as Stuart Nash did.So a bunch of very expensive modems remain sitting in a cupboard at Auckland Grammar.This hasn't been a good couple of days for the Government.The sharp transition from smiles and hugs to disappointment and fury has left a bad taste.Retail NZ's told it to "be kind", others are asking it to cheer up.But this is what happens when the team of five million starts to have a few opinions of their own. Starts making a few of their own decisions. Starts pushing back a bit on what the Government had in mind.What the Government's experiencing is akin to parenting. They've treated us as toddlers for months; made up all our rules; told us what we can and can't do; given us handouts and asked us to behave.Yet here we are, the team of five million, now starting to flex a bit - show a bit of teenage push back. A few snarky remarks, the odd door slam, taking the handout but not doing as you'd hoped with it.The true test of leadership at this point is not to pack a big sad and shout at everyone, but to stay calm and steer the course.

A Government takeover of school zoning may lock more students into attending their local schools - although schools that take out-of-zone students hope they will still be allowed to do so.A new Education Support Agency will take over zoning and enrolment schemes from the boards of individual schools in the next 18 months to two years, under a new plan for running schools unveiled by Education Minister Chris Hipkins.Existing students, including 17,000 Auckland secondary school students who currently live outside the zones of the schools they attend, are expected to be "grandparented" so they don't have to change schools.But Hipkins' policy document says the current system where schools draw up their own zones has meant "schools can manipulate the enrolment zone based on areas they most wish to take students from, for example making zones that include high socio-economic neighbourhoods and exclude closer, more disadvantaged neighbourhoods".He told Cabinet that "a centralised approach will also enable the development of a more effective national network of enrolment zones and a holistic view of population trends and capacity in the system".Chris Hipkins: "A centralised approach will also enable the development of a more effective national network of enrolment zones." Photo / Mark MitchellThe zoning takeover is the most significant change in the final outcome of a review of school governance that began with a taskforce proposal a year ago for regional education "hubs" to take over "all the legal responsibilities and liabilities currently held by school boards of trustees".After an outcry from many schools and the National Party, the Government has decided to leave school boards with all their existing powers except zoning.The Ministry of Education will also "offer" to take over property issues from school boards, but Hipkins said schools that wanted to keep control of their own property would still be allowed to do so.School boards will also keep control of suspensions and expulsions, but students and parents will be given a right to appeal to independent panels over suspensions and other issues creating "serious disputes" such as racism, discrimination and physical and emotional safety.Auckland Primary Principals Association vice-president Stephen Lethbridge said it was disheartening that the original taskforce proposals had been "watered down" so much that they would have little impact on many schools.Stephen Lethbridge says the original proposals by Bali Haque's taskforce have been "watered down". Photo / Michael CraigHis school, Pt Chevalier Primary, is already full with in-zone students so it will not be affected by the zoning changes, but he supports the change in principle."I think for equity, kids need to go to their local schools and there needs to be support for all schools," he said.Secondary Principals Association president Deidre Shea said the zoning change would be contentious in some places, but she did not expect it would affect her school, Onehunga High School, even though 53 per cent of its students last year came from outside its zone - mainly from Māngere."I just read it like instead of schools consulting people on their zones, it will be done by a ministry body, but within the rules schools have a right to accept students from out of zone," she said."I think it's more about changing those zones, that is the issue. In some communities where the in-zone demand exceeds the capacity of the school, then yes, there will be changes."Glen Denham, pictured with students Eric Williams (rear) and Shakerah Zakeri, says parents will always get their children into the schools they want. Photo / FileMassey High School principal Glen Denham said parents would still find ways to send their children to the schools they wanted."I believe every kid should go to a great local school," he said."But if someone wants to send their child to a school somewhere else, that is just going to happen."It's all...

Hello, fellow Buckers! Look, if you understand inertia and how it works in space, this episode of the greatest self-help podcast the 25th century has ever seen is not for you.

According to Tiger Woods only two players in history have 'owned' their golf swings: the great Ben Hogan and Canada's Moe Norman. Hogan is revered internationally as one of the game's greatest ever exponents and while Norman enjoys less celebrity, his feats of extraordinary hitting are equally legendary among golf aficionados. Moe Norman might be the most remarkable golfer that ever lived and his story is as fascinating as any of the game's celebrated legends. On episode 13 we meet Tim O'Connor, the man who wrote the first book about Moe in 1995 and remains committed to telling Moe's story to this day.

Isn’t it great when you hear grown-ups talking about the issues of the day and making sense? It’s something you don’t hear too often in our media, which is full of simplified slogan shouting in 10-second soundbites.So this is what I was thinking about listening to the Auckland Grammar school headmaster, Tim O’Connor, talking on Newstalk ZB this morning. He is part of a group called the Community Schools Alliance made up of principals from 42 schools around the country.The group is opposing proposals made by the Tomorrow's Schools Review taskforce, which has recommended a system of hubs to oversee groups of schools and take over many of the responsibilities of school trustees.This centralisation of school management has been described as ideologically driven by the current government and therefore a bad idea.What I liked about Tim O’Connor is that he didn’t get into Government or Working Group bashing at all, despite being pushed to do so. While he admitted the hub plan was ideologically driven, he didn’t dismiss it completely saying all he wanted was flexibility and choice.As Tim points out, there are 2500 schools in our country. Most are very well run by their community and they want to stay that way. A lot of our schools these days are very big operations indeed, with student numbers in some cases exceeding 3000. Add all the grounds, the staff and the contingencies and they’re complex beasts that are best run with the eyes close to the game and not some distant bureaucracy with multiple other operations in play.But particularly in the primary sector, there are many schools with rolls as low as 100. With a limited community pool of governance skills and funds, a lot of them are crying out for a bit of help. And there’s also a number of schools that for one reason or another have lost the plot. These are schools that would benefit from the centralising hub model.He wants schools to have the choice and I agree with him. The schools that are experiencing governance trouble are the minority in this country, so why change what ain’t broke for the majority. As Tim points out one size fits all is the wrong model.So well done Tim O’Connor for looking at the idea on its merits and advocating flexibility. Maybe flexibility is his New Years resolution because nearly two weeks ago Grammar quietly abandoned its long-standing ban on afros after a criticism that it was institutional racism. Which it was, a kid can’t help his hair.But Bali Haque, the architect of the centralised hub model, seems the inflexible one. He’s travelling the country consulting with schools on the proposed changes but according to the Community Schools Alliance, when confronted by people who think the idea isn’t that great he becomes quite defensive and confrontational himself.I would have thought the Working Group’s brief is to consult not to confront and to give principals what they need rather than what his political masters want.

In the conclusion of our interview, Tim O'Connor, CEO of Results Canada shares the challenges, risks and rewards of shifting from large corporation to entrepeneurial venture.  He shares the remarkable story of how this shift allowed him to become an organ donor for his cousin.  O'Connor reflects on which of the four pillars of integral formation he believes is most challenging for the Executive Disciple, and why he believes that to be the case.  Finally, Tim provides his "one thing" that leaders need to do in order to see significant progress as Executive Disciples.

In this episode, host Doran Oancia and Tim O'Connor, CEO of Results Canada discuss a blind spot some top leaders have in translating Missions and Strategic Plans to their personal lives.  O'Connor reflects on how your view of your "Endgame" affects what you are doing today, as well as how easy or difficult it is for experienced executives and leaders to "change" in the "Back Nine" of their careers.

Some educators say they are willing to march on Parliament in opposition to the Government's proposed Tommorrow's Schools plan.The board and headmaster of Auckland Grammar have written to parents, asking for help to fiercely oppose the notion, saying that the proposals are radical and would end the notion of the traditional secondary school in New Zealand.Auckland Grammar's headmaster Tim O'Connor says the vast majority of school boards are just fine, and there's no rationale for direct state control."It is a proposed attack on state education as we know it, and the only winners out of this will be private schools, who will continue to be able to establish a culture and a values base and operate in a manner that is purposeful to their community."O'Connor's main concern is idea of Education Hubs, taking over the likes of property, employment, and allocating government funding."That really would surpass the role of a board of trustees and boards of trustees would effectively become glorified PTA's or advisement groups to principals. So schools would lose their own personalities and their own cultures."Macleans College principal Steven Hargreaves told the Weekend Collective that if the recommendations were to be enacted, he believes there'd be people marching on Parliament."I know that sounds like a crazy thing to be doing, but we would, because there are some serious things here that I feel would interfere with the way successful schools are run."Hargreaves says that having 125 schools reporting to one hub logistically doesn't make sense. However, Bali Haque, Chairman of the Tomorrow's School taskforce, says that much of what the critics believe is simply wrong.He says the whole reform is based on developing an education system that meets the needs of all our students."Currently, the way we've got it set out, with 2,500 independent, autonomous boards, it really isn't working. That's indicated when you look at the stats of student achievement."Haque says that thet went around the country and spoke to boards about the proposals."We've attended 200 meetings, we've listened to Boards of Trustees, and what Boards of Trustees say is they want to focus on important stuff of teaching and learning, and that's what our proposals allow them to do." Haque is urging those claiming it will destroy the school system to calm down, sit down and read the report.Principals' Federation believes adopting Tomorrow's Schools would be the courageous option.Principals' Federation president Whetu Cormick says the consultation phase is really important, but then it's up to the Government."Will the Minister of Educations and his ministers have the courage to put in place some these courageous recommendations that are outlined in this document? So the proof will be in the pudding to see whether that really does land next year."Submissions are open on the drastic and sweeping changes mooted in the Tomorrow's Schools report.An online feedback survey will also be open next month and there will also be regional hui in February and March.Cormick says feedback is important, even if it means cutting into holidays."Whilst it's going to mean more work for school leavers, we're up for the consultation period and we want to have a strong voice in determining what's happening in education for the next 30 years or so."
