A-Infos (en) Italy, FdCA, IL CANTIERE #39 - Why Become Part of a Collective Today? - Claudia Mazzanti (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

School is a place of discussion and stimulation of creativity. But what 
training is considered valid for a teacher? In schools, one's own 
pedagogical research is essential: when students lose motivation to 
study, it is possible to educate them about frustration through 
effective dynamic assessment. Support them in the knowledge that they 
haven't yet achieved a goal, but that they will achieve it because what 
they are experiencing is part of the learning process.
The teacher is the human being who guides this relationship, in which he 
or she engages fully.
When the teacher identifies the cause of the student's discomfort, he or 
she brings them back to their subjectivity.
Now that I'm part of a collective that thinks, I feel much stronger and 
I'm not afraid.
I see through the events that happen at school.
And I'm confident that thinking together is constructive for me and can 
be for many others.
The teaching profession cannot be deprived of its collective dimension; 
this impoverishes it, and the choices of the school-cum-corporate 
movement tend to cut off any possibility for discussion, reflection, or 
personal, and even more so, collective, development.
The intention is clear: a stimuli-free environment where everything 
becomes execution rather than reflection is better controlled.
Being in the Michel-Ferrer Collective makes me feel connected, even over 
time. I feel a responsibility to speak to others who may feel confused. 
I can understand the sense of injustice and suffering that other 
workers, not just those in the school system, feel and may have felt. 
Workers who feel crushed by the system and are no longer able to think, 
to see a perspective in which a change in conditions is possible, 
starting with us one by one.
The Michel Ferrer pedagogical collective represents an important 
experience for me, because it has irreversibly changed my worldview: now 
there are men and women who think together. How has my perspective 
changed, and what theoretical contribution can I make to others? I can 
share ideas, reflect, and develop a new way of being a school.
I am no longer alone in my pedagogical research; I engage with other 
workers and find new, collective solutions. I can say that, from my 
experience within the Michel Ferrer Pedagogical Collective, forces are 
at work within our group that define identity, fuel a healthy 
narcissism, and a trust in the irrational or unconscious thinking that 
is inherent in each of us. Each of us feels entitled to pedagogical 
research, and this unites us regardless of our work and experience, from 
childhood to university.
Our collective reflection has one main goal: to work together so that 
students can become political subjects, protagonists in their own lives, 
and bearers of that alternative thought, as Pyotr Kropotkin stated in 
his book Mutual Aid: "Developing an awareness of human solidarity, the 
sense of the close dependence of each person's happiness on the 
happiness of all, leads the individual to consider the rights of each as 
equal to his own."
