Our very own Martin Said was featured on the BBC’s ‘The One Show’ last night with a special thanks from his former student Joe Allan. You can watch the full episode here or the excerpt below.
Ron is a teacher and carpenter who lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. His role as teacher at Shutesbury Elementary school allowed him to develop a pedagogy that is now being used in over 160 schools through his current work as Chief Program Officer of Expeditionary Learning.
His book, An Ethic of Excellence has inspired many practitioners to take a values driven pedagogy and deliver this practically through Expeditionary Learning Core Practices.
He is widely recognised as one of the best educators in the world.
Examples of his work can be seen below:
and here is a link to a recent article written by Ron.
