Become a Inspiring Teacher As Teacher in School Of Rock

There are many stories of being inspirational teachers that can be taken from Holywood films. Call it a teacher style Master Shifu, creative teachers the style of the Dead Poets Society, and many more cool teacher figures who fight for their students and also fight for school.

One of the teachers who really inspired me was Dewey Finn in the film School of Rock. Dewey Finn, played by Black Jack is a guitarist who became unemployed after being expelled from his rock band. Urgent about the necessities of life, Dewey finally accepted the offer to be an elementary school teacher at the prestigious school Horace Green. The position he got after claiming to be Ned Schneebly.

At first Dewey felt confused, with what he had to teach and how to teach in the class, with very formal classroom traditions and with innocent critical questions from his students, Dewey tried to teach in a way that he pleased, and occasionally confused with his students.

School Of Rock

Dewey then got the idea to form a rock band with his students. He made a rock band project as a school assignment to attend the rock festival "battle of the bands". Dewey carries out his action plan, by arranging positions according to the interests and talents of the child. It turned out that the plan was not as easy as he had imagined.

Dewey must seduce his students to follow his desires. Dewey also had to think about some of his students who didn't have musical talent, so they could get a place in the project.

Dewey finally succeeded in forming cooperation among his students, according to their respective roles. Interaction takes place in a dynamic and democratic atmosphere. There is no distance between students and teachers.

In the project, Dewey also has an opening to teach history. He taught the history of rock music as well as figures and band groups that had existed such as Led Zeppelin, Jimmi Hendrix, and Black Sabath. This project is named the School of Rock from its students.

Dewey is an example of an inspirational teacher who does not lose his passion in playing music and makes a gap in creating activities with his students in the classroom. Ignore lesson plans, evaluations, and other administrative activities that can preoccupy the teacher to the point where he forgets his main task as educating children in classrooms that are with him. Teachers must be creative, teachers must be inspiring because creative teachers and inspiring teachers will always be remembered as an exciting learning experience.

The Answer Of Why Alternative Education?

"Education is not just a matter of multiplying the contents of brain memory or finding out something that was not known before. But more than that is an effort to connect all that is already known with things that are still a mystery" (Anatole France, 1817-1895 Nobel laureate, France )

These days my blog post is talking about alternative education that is carried by alternative schools in the city of Bandung. I place great respect and appreciation for every alternative school that has developed a humanized learning approach.

The term alternative education is a generic term for various educational programs carried out in a different way from the traditional way. In general alternative education has in common, namely: the approach is individualized, gives great attention to students, parents / family, and educators and is developed based on interests and experience.

This idea of ​​alternative education stems from Father Mangun's criticisms of the form of education which, from the enactment of the 1974 curriculum, developed until the 1994 curriculum.

Alternative education is not interpreted as a substitute for formal schooling, but rather seeking new dedication materials and methods until the new curriculum. According to Nunuk Murniati, education should be contextual, it must be adapted to the environment. Education for the marginal too. Where the concept of link and macth that was heralded by the New Order government in education only produced capitalist screws that were made only to suit the needs of labor in industrial machinery.

According to Jery Mintz (1994: xi) Alternative education can be categorized in four forms of organization, namely:


  1. Public choice schools;
  2. Public schools / educational institutions for problem students (student at risk);
  3. Private / independent school / educational institution and
  4. Home education (homeschooling).

The oldest alternative form of education managed by the community for the community is pesantren. Estimated to begin in the 15th century, it was first developed by Raden Rahmad alias Sunan Ampel. Then came the pesantren Giri by Sunan Giri, pesantren Demak by Raden Fatah and Pesantren Tuban by Sunan Bonang.

In addition to the pesantren, Taman Siswa was established in 1922. Besides Taman Siswa, Mohammad Syafei opened a school in Kayutaman. School with the motto, "Look for yourself and do it yourself". Students are given the skills to make their own tables and chairs for their learning. But the Netherlands has burned down the school.

Spirit Of The Alternative

Despite the great distance since Taman Siswa and Kayutaman School, alternative schools are increasingly thriving in big cities in Indonesia. The thing that we should be proud of is that the community has many choices for getting better learning opportunities for their children. Well, the spirit of providing a more humane educational approach is what I think. Alternative education can be an interesting part of building Indonesia's human resources in a better future.

Alternative schools are proven to be able to provide another dimension in the world of Indonesian education. Alternative schools dare to come out of the standard of learning that just like that. Passive children and teachers lecture all day long. Although this spirit has also been present in the planning of education in the curriculum, but the reality is far from the fire.

Conventional schools still have difficulty implementing interesting things in conveying their learning. The allocation of training funds has been spent a lot but instead of improving the existing education system it is only a waste of budget. The teacher in the class will again take the safest way, search the internet, copy paste and then spread it in class. Even worse, selling LKS then told the children to do it themselves and the teacher just to rest his legs casually while exhaling the cigarette smoke he was smoking. A bad portrait of education that has been very acute.

While in alternative schools, teachers are struggling to find interesting forms in delivering learning that is interesting and easily understood by children through a variety of varied activities. The teacher processes all materials based on competency standards and core competencies to be delivered to their students.

Now the spirit of creative thinking in alternative education is what I want to share with all. Creative education, fun education, creative education is a spirit that must emerge in every educator himself throughout Indonesia. Hopefully more and more alternative schools will be able to make a positive contribution in building a free, independent, creative and empowered Indonesian human being!

Students at the Bandung Nature School take turns each time conducting outbound activities guided by experienced facilitators. Outboundond experts who have long been poor in training participants from various age levels.

In addition, students become more creative, independent, and able to survive in the wild according to the level of training. Tiered! The level of difficulty that is arranged in such a way and flows as it is natural is done so that the child gets a gradual readiness.

Pindah Karena Harus Belajar

Pindah Karena Harus Belajar


Pendidikan menjadi salah satu bagian penting dalam hidup ini. Orang dewasa mendidik anak-anak. Orang tua mendidik orang dewasa. Anak-anak mendidik orang tua. Demikian seterusnya sampai lingkaran ini utuh karena semuanya saling mendidik.


Pelajaran utama dari pendidikan ini terjadi karena manusia dilahirkan sebagai mahluk pembelajar. Ia harus belajar sepanjang hayat. Jika ia berhenti belajar, maka ia sedang berusaha menjauhi sisi-sisi kemanusiaannya. Manusia yang berhenti belajar akan digerus jaman. 


Pilihannya adalah belajar dan terus belajar. Nah, sebagai pilihan belajar ini, saya mengambil celah untuk memindahkan diri ke www.iden.web.id sebagai lahan baru untuk menempa diri. 


Tempat baru dan pengalaman baru. Pengalaman ini adalah bentuk pembelajaran baru buat saya sebagai pribadi. 


Belajar dari hal-hal baru yang ditemui dimanapun bersama www.iden.web.id

Tempat Berubah Karakter Tidak

Tempat Berubah Karakter Tidak 


Pernah melihat orang yang dikenal terus mengalami banyak dinamika dalam hidupnya tapi kita tetap melihat idealismenya. Pancaran idealisme tetap terjaga sekalipun ia berusaha menyembunyikannya. 


Karakter yang muncul tidak akan pernah bisa luntur oleh waktu dan tempat. Dimanapun keberadaannya, ia selalu menjadi pembeda dengan yang lain. Tak bisa disamakan, tidak akan bisa menjadi patokan menyamaratakan satu individu dengan karakter yang sama.


Pembeda itu juga yang mendasar saya mengalihkan ke www.iden.web.id sekalipun itu terasa sangat sulit karena harus berpisah dari tempat lama yang saya sayangi. Tempat yang membuat saya begitu senang mengeksplorasi sisi-sisi lain dari celah manapun.


Sisi yang bikin greget, kadang senang kadang tidak senang. Sisi yang memberikan semacam 'excitement' karena ada hal baru yang bisa saya dapatkan. Sebuah pengalaman baru yang membuat saya senang mempelajarinya. 


Nah, sekalipun tempat berubah, saya yakinkan karakter tidak akan berubah sebagai saya yang anda kenal sebelumnya. 


Selamat datang perubahan, mari kita sambut dengan kegembiraan dan antusiasme baru di www.iden.web.id

Seperti Traveling Yang Asyik

Seperti Traveling Yang Asyik 


Traveling menjadi hal yang sangat mengasyikan. Terkadang, ia menjadi candu. Membikin ketagihan untuk terus melakukan perjalanan lagi. 


Selepas melakukan perjalanan, bukan rasa tuntas yang muncul tapi keinginan untuk datang lagi mengeksplorasi sisi-sisi lainnya yang tidak muncul saat pertama kali datang. Hal yang sangat wajar karena kesan pertama pada sebuah daerah baru selalu memunculkan keindahan yang tiada taranya. Kata Paulo Coelho, cukup traveling 3 hari saja. Hari pertama dan kedua akan menghadirkan kecantikannya, hari ketiga wajah lain akan muncul.


Seperti traveling, ngeblog juga ada batasan yang harus saya patuhi. Ada saatnya harus meninggalkan kenyamanan dan beralih mencari tantangan-tantangan baru.


Blog ini seperti sebuah perjalanan. Harus saya akhiri tapi tidak akan saya hapus. Saya akan beralih ke www.iden.web.id untuk tantangan barunya! Saya yakin pembaca memahami sisi-sisi petualangan ini yang harus tetap berjalan dan terus berjalan seiring waktu. 



Saya pindah ke www.iden.web.id temui di sana yah :)

Move On Dong Ah!

Move On Dong Ah!


Kamu tahu hal paling sulit ketika ditinggalkan kekasih pujaan hatimu? Move on! Yah, move on itu enak diucapkan tapi pahit dilakukan. Sulit untuk move on terlebih seseorang yang begitu engkau sayangi harus lepas dari pelukanmu.


Itu kisah percintaan, berbeda dengan kisah pekerjaan, persahabatan, dan kisah-kisah kehidupan manusia lainnya. Move on tetap menjadi bagian penting dalam kehidupan karena ia menjadi penentu dirimu setelah terjatuh, kehilangan, dan kesedihan.


Demikian halnya kehidupan lain, ngeblog juga ternyata butuh saat-saat move on! Setelah melewati fase-fase berat dalam dunia blog, maka move on adalah keharusan.


Move on harus dilakukan siapapun. Tak perduli engkau beauty blogger atau blogger kecantikan yang cantik-cantik, atau blogger laki yang gagah-gagah dan ganteng-ganteng, atau travel blogger yang keren-keren fotonya di tempat yang kece-kece.


Move on juga saya lakukan ke www.iden.web.id setelah cukup lama di sini. Yah, tidak ada yang mendasari selain saya butuh perubahan besar dalam dunia blogging saya. Bukan siapa-siapa jika dibandingkan dengan blogger yang sudah malang melintang. Sekalipun bukan siapa-siapa, saya percaya tetap menjadi penting bagi seseorang. 


Kalau anda! Saya tetap menjadikan anda sebagai prioritas. Anda adalah yang utama buat saya. Kehadiran saya tidak ada apa-apa tanpa anda. 


Ditunggu di www.iden.web.id yaaa

Saya Harus Pindah Tempat

Saya Harus Pindah Tempat


Yah, ada saatnya kita harus bersikap tegas pada setiap hal yang terjadi dengan kehidupan kita. Sekalipun itu sangat menyakitkan tapi saya yakin keputusan tegas hari ini akan berguna untuk kita dikemudian hari. 


Keputusan pindah ke www.iden.web.id tentu dipikirkan matang-matang. Tidak asal pindah begitu saja, saya harus bertanya kepada teman-teman dekat saya tentang keputusan ini. Untuk yang terlanjur sayang pada blog, ada banyak kurangi sayang itu. Hakikatnya semua akan berpisah. Jiwa akan berpisah dengan raga, anak berpisah dari orangtua, pertemanan akan berpisah karena pekerjaan, dan masih banyak lagi perpisahan-perpisahan lain yang terjadi di bumi ini.


Terbatas! Semua ada batasnya. Dan blog ini saya batasi saja sampai di sini. Sampai pada postingan ke 6 saja biar tampilannya tetap bisa dinikmati siapapun. 


Saya masih tetap menulis diblog lain, di website lain baik yang saya kelola maupun website milik orang lain untuk berbagi cerita-cerita kejadian seru dari sudut pandang saya.



Saya harus pindah ke www.iden.web.id

Pindah Tempat Bukan Menghapus

Pindah Tempat Bukan Menghapus


Ini hanya sebuah era baru saja. Tidak ada yang memaksa untuk mengubah apapun selama itu tidak perlu diubah. Ya sudah biarkan saja.


Ini hanya pindah tempat dari satu titik ke titik lainnya. Mencoba meraih sisi-sisi lain tentang hal yang akan terjadi di depan. Bukan karena sebuah evaluasi yang besar-besaran, lebih kepada kebutuhan untuk berubah.


Kalau ada istilah tidak ada yang abadi selain perubahan itu sendiri, maka bisa jadi ini sebentuk perubahan untuk berubah itu sendiri. Tidak lain tidak kurang murni karena butuh untuk berpindah tempat.
