Thinking through policy change, with Leslie Medema

In this episode, I’m joined by Leslie Medema, who along with her team, is currently working through the Being Luminary programme. We discuss her reflections on the issues of maternity and paternity, the particular and unusual circumstances of her school, and how she can synthesize the wide range of experiences within her school community to create a more human set of policies.

In November 2011, Leslie Medema joined Green School and was responsible for spearheading the development and implementation of the High School program. Her role involved fusing project-based learning with a global skills and values-based curriculum. Additionally, Leslie was the Guidance Counselor and oversaw the post-graduation preparation programs and accreditation processes. After four years, she was appointed as the Head of Teaching and Learning (principal). In this role, Leslie led the entire Green School community (Pre-K through Grade 12) in the same process to develop specialized learning programs and manage day-to-day operations. She later took time away from Bali to support the establishment of new Green Schools in New Zealand and South Africa. In 2021, Leslie returned to Green School Bali as the Head of Campus.www.greenschool.org
