Wow! What a brilliant clip this is!
Using techniques from the film A King’s Speech a teacher is able to help student Musharaf Asghar overcome his stutter and speak for the first time in front of his peers. To watch supportive staff and students reduced to tears at the overwhelming power of his courage and achievement has touched me enormously.
Please forward this clip to others to shed some light on the positive role teachers and schools can play and what a fantastic thing it is to encourage risk taking as well as fostering a kind and compassionate student community.
