to do these things to go on to give us because what we do doesn't just come from one person it's actually about all of us it's the students and the teacher is for sharing our experiences of what we've created to get. the thing is a conference between so the only people there except for you with all between those things so i'm usually very interested to see how that actually works in a school and one of the things we did we agreed was that it's actually more real. for students to. get your point of view then we just say students really like it talk about. what you want to talk about. cause that's what the people want to reach of you that might be a different thing i'm not sure. because you can gauge screen it simply with a cheap one not on your own badges and things like that it might be that you're in a position to talk about that also all of us here all english class is different is that it's not is it even though we use our basic skills i was lucky i use it to do

you know want to toss things we're doing right now if you don't know me to get to have that conversation that normally you'll go into a classroom and another school and they will tell you what your program going is going to be and that's what you do for the. book along some people from my team and order to validate and verify some of the things we're saying we're going to talk to you about a whole new system of within that encourages teachers and students to take responsibility for themselves. to not let any ordinary school you can deal with an offense. and upload it to your blog and then your teachers can see it.

it's really good. to see the books. and. the only girl that i know of to do their own english teacher and i think that in no way. and now it makes me so yeah i'm a bit nervous but. it makes me more. like your self-esteem goes up i think i picked mr brown the clothes i thought his course and i think i could relate to it because i live and you love to believe me when i say this i haven't said to for you and say those things right like and so one for you and says i think that mr bryan is course is good for me because it's about in a city and we talk about social issues well i mean i think that if i was in school

when i was in school i would have liked to have said that about my teacher and i feel like the fact that we study writers of color. and you can read about those writers of color and he can see himself in those books is very important because if we don't we often talk about the verse in schools right but if we don't have diversity in terms of the things that we study in english how we have or have diverse english teacher says we really. love to hear what you have to say about what. might be wrong but we have cites for everything. when i 1st saw the students were here my i thought is that it's not going to be quite a stick or smooth or some in the i'm going to get i'm going to really get anything out of but i was so moved about you know it was so genuine and honest that it got me to thinking about how awesome it's so awful mimic it from my own school that came across that they hadn't handpicked the students the students and put

themselves forward and it gave me a feeling of genuine that. made it easier for me to sort of take that and see that it worked. i think i wouldn't have any problem having students choose my classes but i can specifically think of 2 or 3 members of my department where students wouldn't pick it and i'd worry as well that those members of staff. would be affected by the fact that they were picked we get a very favorable response to our ideas when we share them with people and at the same time they generally say one universal thing and that is we love this but we could never do this we say why not i want to don't take away. our goods or. what we do in the english department as a whole is sort of.

this is not being easy within a state school institution. people just like change their risk averse and within the scope i have had to battle with people in order to get in to agree for us to go ahead with these programs and processes state challenge the very fundamental nature of our schools we're giving students parents choice is terrifying for a lot of people in education you've recorded yourselves speaking and you've transcribed those conversations or i want to do now start to identify as many as possible of these modifications to standard english that you've made in your conversations to the right. you know oh yeah well you know why do you think often

you know news i would. want to tell you that it was all about men you know basically telling the story in a way one moment i mean what did you just say since we have such high school exit concert realty in this country if you are going to do something that is different from the norm school leaders. it's always going to find it quiets quite threatening and sickly when the school leaders there were countable for the course of your work . what. i experienced initially of chris's performance when being observed and also this but i was quite negative enough not to say confidence quite a bit if you go on all students but it's a human in series and they will make judgments and those just ones kind of factual could the inspector came and looked at my teaching and defined my practice as an

adequate. i guess there is the sense that a good listener is a listen westerners are sitting behind desks they are quiet and they are studiously engaged in some kind of individual inquiry my view is that they they learn a lot in collaboration with each other what are the key people might call chaos i would often just call active engagement. over the years as the results that we have achieved have come through the system and revealed themselves the inspectors are much more amenable to the work we do to the extent that the most recent visit from else did ultimately gave us a very good. rating we had to prove ourselves before we would be taken seriously and i do think that if you're going to create change in the way that we have in a system like this you have to have the courage to be willing to fail or to be seen to fail by others. and it's not just external agencies that we have been so cool

steeples we've got convinced of the 1st ones within the school lot of questions that really they don't necessarily know the smoothest looking you need is it's not a model of if you want wants to adults because it is a lot of work and it is a go different way of looking. at the way that money to students which is a long time used to it. you've got something of a choice about what you do today the way that you've been planning for the data it's. planning your method i'm getting ready to actually do your experiments i'm about to take a bath as head of science and i guess and i've been spending

a lot of time working with the english department on the ideas that they have. i have already started to try that after results was really from thursday even is that i get to try and prove that there are yeah exactly you've made it refutable because you cited your sources. in the requested that it has yours again so that all of us 789 and 11 to about the age of 15 are going to be choosing our science teachers. from the path. we're ready. every teacher in my department teaches differently. we each have different approaches and different classroom philosophies from today you have been given the chance to make a decision that is incredibly important to your success. the kids have been through

this before they've done this so many times they know exactly what to expect and my tame of the people that standing there for the 1st time selling themselves which is something that's not really asked of you very much in teaching way used to being the ones that are very much in control and i agree there is no more than that what you'll be back last year i really want to make it that we talked about issues that are going on in the world right now that even a little more relevant there's no going on for. you to. be prepared. to work on my team in a science department almost entirely name more than half of my department has never taught helpful to be stuck in science departments in the u.k. at the moment is generally quite high and the reason for that is there's a real shortage of science teachers there students that without this morning. you know seen a few teachers come and go at this stage and a couple of them have said you know what's the point in choosing your teacher if

they're going to be leaving soon anyway it sometimes may actually that they have come to believe that that we might disappear on them and not be around to see the the course to. hear. that oh oh. let. me have a look at my. mother i woke up this morning by petrified actually because i mean the same feeling as many people in the country many of the shooters my age you know show what we're going to get i mean this piece of paper with it controls our lives with you oh. oh. 000-0000. 000000000 it's pretty exciting to be able to say that the results from this year's english program at g.c.s.e. of the best way ahead. the students that we teach fits into some of the categories

nationally that are regarded as some of the least likely to achieve we have students who come from backgrounds of poverty we have students who come from backgrounds of where their parents are migrants students that come from difficult circumstances and given that that's the case and yet they come into this go and through their time here succeed at a level that is comparable and better than many other students with much greater privilege in the country is something we well it's what gets us up in the morning. i don't very well possible issues to be using english to show i'm language and i'll be studying in next year i have highly highly recommend we celebrate is one of the best speeches i've ever had is the one report for us i was trained in english and we had and he was one who got me to who got me to do this when they freed their personality and their own force into their lessons that's when the lesson comes. in a in which the language. is able to. sort go on no room

for white discovery exploration of the language or the text that we're studying going on in our seats the student to develop their. ideas that's probably why it is so good that alice has done fantastically well in english and they're really really proud of him because i am to being an english and not only that easy it's also got a slight hurdle with dyslexia and the fact that it's got such amazing results is a credit savings to. the great thing about mr wood is he spends toying with me and yet she likes that as i what the child leaves. the other when i said i go back to the ravine many examples over the years where i felt frustrated because i don't think that the schools supported me in the way that i like it just typical for someone who's trying to be something different i think. but at the same time.

president orders the army to hunt down gunman who killed at least 65 people at a funeral. 3 people are shot dead at the u.s. food festival police say a suspect has also been killed. and after years of war we'll look at iraq's efforts to revive its creaking all industry. the chinese government has reiterated its support for hong kong's leisure carry law this follows weeks of mass protests that have regularly become violent beijing's top office on hong kong policy has been making rare public comments after another night of street battles in city is false then says the demonstrations are no longer peaceful and are a challenge to the rule of law the process began over changes to extradition laws

but have grown into a wiser movement against hong kong's beijing backed government she was younger nationally. we call on all the people in hong kong regardless of their social backgrounds to unequivocally oppose in boycott violence the recent developments especially the acts of violence by a small number of radical elements have seriously undermined the broad interests of hong kong for prosperity and stability they pose a serious challenge to the rule of law and public order in hong kong and to life and property of hong kong residents they've also crossed the red line of the principle of one country 2 systems and by no means should be tolerated. well the main group has been organizing the mass protests the civil human rights fronts house responds it's to the chinese government arguing it's not serious about solving the political crisis the state council have the right to other points and this me is the chief executive and the states callisto had just briefly it was to

do so that means that of course we're very disappointed and also it means that the say council re field strength knowledge what is happening in whole hall and what is no good course of order comes the whole extradition bill campaign and what help people eat. well for more let's cross live to sarah clarke who is in hong kong as sara what we learned from that where press conference. well there were a number of top lines from this press conference held by china's top policy office on hong kong affairs with relation to their position on these protests which we've seen for about 8 weeks now they said that the violent protesters have far exceeded the scope tolerated by chinese authorities they said beijing fully supports kerry and of course she's the embattled leader who's been the target of a lot of these protests as a mention that have been underway for the last 2 months or so to china will not

allow hong kong to be used as a platform to undermine china they said china supports the extradition or being suspended which is what it is now it hasn't been dropped altogether it could come back in a different form but they said they support the suspension of this proposed extradition law they said china will stick to the one country 2 systems policy but they can't afford to have this instability they've also said it's urgent for hong kong to punish these protesters who've been responsible for the violence and one very interesting question that was raised by the journalist was asking about whether or not china had been asked to deploy the chinese army now there are about 12 garrisons here in hong kong with chinese troops and they've said that there will stick to the law and that law states that the pillai the people's liberation army or chinese army they won't be deployed there won't be act unless they have a request a specific request from hong kong and at this stage that request hasn't been made we've just had

a quick reaction there from one of the protesters but what's likely to be their their next move their next steps. well we have another week of protests planned by some of these groups are a lot of groups and there's we've heard from the civil human rights front that was the more conservative group that ran the 2 big rallies here in hong kong one that attracted 1000000 people on a sunday the following week they had 2000000 people so there's a huge support base a behind that particular group but there are a number of protests is planning more rallies this week we have the m.t.r. which is the trying to train operation the mass transport route way see here they are planning a strike tomorrow they've got 760 drivers who've signed a petition and one particular m.t.r. station will be on strike we also have protests planned for friday saturday and sunday the government is also suggested that they may be able to mobilize. those

and he brought vehicles haven't been used yet they suggest that they might test them this week and that they use sort of can deploy a water cannons that can contain a liquid die which would target those protesters so that could make them easy to identify at the wrists and of course this comes after weeks as i mentioned before of protests and again war protests planned and coming weeks so it sounds like if neither side is going to offer any concessions that being the government and the protesters these demonstrations will continue because sarah clarke thanks very much for bringing us up state sarah clarke joining us from hong kong. and i do as president has ordered the army to hunt down gunmen who killed at least 65 people it's a funeral in the northeastern borno region there's been no claim of responsibility but book on her arm and her rival armed group regularly carry its attacks in this part of the country priyanka gupta reports. these shard remains are what's left of what once was someone's home. this village in northeast nigeria is now the
