Posted by Christian Brogi – Why the 2020 Extraordinary Teacher Contest should be canceled, for the sake of students and the rights of historic precarious workers, and transform it into a valid and concrete enabling training course.
There have been many mistakes in the past, but there is apparently never an end to the worst, even if it is imperative to try to repair the damage caused by this inconceivably obtuse system of teacher recruitment.
The extraordinary teacher competence differs from many of the previous and recent stabilization methods by a simple fact: there is a selection for which some historically precarious teachers will be literally cut if they do not reach the “minimum” of responses that are considered sufficient, they will continue teaching , but not in the subject in which they have had experience, and the selection will not be meritocratic, but will be limited to knowledge and not to the ability to transmit knowledge.
Many families will say: “That’s right, a teacher must be capable and prepared.”
And we precarious people respond that you have the sacrosanct right to demand this.
I tell you this as a good and prepared teacher, whose students have won competitions and awards, deserving of having won numerous international awards in photography and video (the subject I teach), with international publications in print and digital magazines, photographs of the day in National Geographic, Beast of PHOTOVOGUE, and an artistic / professional / cultural curriculum consisting of more than 30 certificates of compulsory and extracurricular courses, 2 high school diplomas (yes good, only 2), 1 degree and 12 years of school service Public of which 8 whole and finally 4 on the same subject, discipline, and in the same school (a true miracle for a precarious person forced to change subjects even more times a year), which with this competition will not be taken at all of what I can do, and that in all probability, if I confuse (even knowing the background of a didactic / pedagogical methodology) one acronym with another, or I will not remember when or that philosophical If a pedagogue formulated a certain theory, I run the risk of being excluded or surpassed by a teacher with less specific skills for teaching, but with more memory.
The extraordinary contest to be held in fact, will take into account only the speed, memory and luck of a TEACHER to have guessed the right manual to study, the ability to learn a concept or a law given by pappardella.
This is the best way to select empty heads, devoid of critical spirit, creativity, love of teaching, probably incapable of teaching and transmitting the desire to learn, the ability to create individuals truly willing to learn and passionate about life, Therefore, incapable of improving our society, people very different from the “social engineers” conceived by María Montessori.
What do I propose as an alternative?
I propose what already works in some countries and societies a little more advanced than ours: training course / training in the field.
After the degrees PURCHASED in Croatia have been legally validated, the 24 ECTS obtained in just 2 weeks of study through online courses paying 500/600 euros including Masters of doubtful value, what you need is FINALLY, a REAL degree, a enabling precisely IN THE FIELD.
Therefore, not a competition every 10, 5 or 3 years, but a course / competition that provides for a selection for FUTURE GENERATIONS at the end of the training course, a selection that takes into account the real skills of knowing how to teach in a school, not a competition you select BEFORE teachers learn to manage a class. It’s like selecting an athlete in the Olympics without ever seeing him run (very stupid, right?).
Selection based on mere notionism is exactly THE OPPOSITE of what our students must do today. So why do they continue to select teachers with obsolete methods declared invalid by the greatest pedagogues and even by MIUR itself?
Great question, but from the ministry of education, to which I have written numerous times, I have not had great answers, in fact, I have not had any answers.
-Change the method of selecting teachers, and stabilize those who, after 3,5,10 or 20 years, support the school system in the shadows, who are now in danger of disappearing, causing damage to the damage already caused, if they Families who have an interest in not leaving their children’s public education in disorder, support us and let us fight with us, TRUE historical precarious workers.
As a precarious teacher of 51 YEARS Christian Brogi, 12 years of service, and without rights.
