Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith

In this episode, we are joined by Will Goldsmith, Head of Bedales School. This was fascinating. We covered: Removing unnecessary hierarchies Promoting student agency and responsibility Co-curating a community WITH students Developing value to the wider educational system Preparing students in school for specific academic curricula Bringing your authentic self to your work Will and his team announced last year about scaling down GCSEs in their school. It won’t take a rocket science to realise that this resonated with me & Steve! This has been mischaracterised as scrapping exams or arrogant ‘you must do what we do’ proselytising.
