10月25-27日，蘇城外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)?？傂ｉL(zhǎng)李春雷先生率領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)，受邀前往深圳參加RAISE2019亞洲國(guó)際學(xué)校大會(huì)。

The General Principal of Soochow Foreign Language School, David Li, and his delegation was invited to attend 2019 RAISE Asian International Schools and Education Conference held in Shenzhen from 25th to 27th October. 

李春雷總校長(zhǎng)作為特邀嘉賓參與論壇演講，以“回歸本質(zhì) 遵循規(guī)律 靜待花開(kāi)”為主題，發(fā)表了具有深度而又觀點(diǎn)鮮明的演講。

As the special guest of the conference, Mr. David Li was invited to deliver a insightful speech themed at “Retrospect to the nature of education—making inclusion happen in learning”.

“李校長(zhǎng)，您今天分享的內(nèi)容是我聽(tīng)過(guò)最專業(yè)，最接地氣，最能引發(fā)我共鳴的一場(chǎng)演講！”來(lái)自南京的一位嘉賓這樣說(shuō)到。

Mr. Li, your speech is the most professional and practical one I’ve heard about International Education.

How can our general principal’s speech win such wide recognition at this international conference with over 1,500 educators and more than 80 influential figures in the area of international education?

演講開(kāi)始，李春雷總校長(zhǎng)以豐子愷的漫畫《剪冬青》為例，形象地指出“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化”教育對(duì)學(xué)生個(gè)性發(fā)展的扼殺，提醒大家思考“教育的本質(zhì)是什么？”

The nature of education is to admit and respect differentiation. As early as 2,500 years ago, Confucius already clarified its nature, which is to teach students according to their aptitude and to provide education for all people without discrimination (inclusive).

公平性：每一個(gè)孩子都有均等的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，得到平等對(duì)待。

差異性：每一個(gè)孩子都能得到老師的關(guān)注，得到尊重，教學(xué)內(nèi)容和學(xué)習(xí)方法、以及資源配置和評(píng)估是不一樣的。

有效性：每一個(gè)學(xué)生已有的知識(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和學(xué)習(xí)認(rèn)知能力都能得到重視，每一個(gè)孩子都得到提升。

Equality: Each child has an equal access to learning, and should be equally treated.

Differentiation: Each child can get attention and respect from their teachers, tailoring the teaching contents, learning approaches, resource allocation and assessment to every student’s needs. 

Effectiveness: The prior knowledge and cognitive learning ability of each child can be valued, so that every child can make improvements in their learning. 

關(guān)心每一位學(xué)生的體質(zhì)發(fā)展，保證學(xué)生每天體育鍛煉時(shí)間，健壯、合作、逆商高。

關(guān)心每一位學(xué)生的心智發(fā)展，保證學(xué)生的心理健康、藝術(shù)修養(yǎng)和審美情操，陽(yáng)光、快樂(lè)、開(kāi)朗、自信，情商高。

關(guān)心每一位學(xué)生的潛能發(fā)展，保證學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)發(fā)展和特長(zhǎng)發(fā)展，熱愛(ài)探究、勤學(xué)好問(wèn)、知識(shí)淵博，智商高。 

Caring for the physical development of each student and the guaranty of their daily exercising time helps them to be strong, cooperative and high in adversity quotient.

Caring for the psychical development of each student and the guaranty of their mental health, artistic taste and aesthetic appreciation helps them to be happy, positive, energetic, confident and emotionally intelligent. 

Caring for the potential of each student and the guaranty of both their academic and talent development helps them to be inquiring, knowledgeable and intelligent. 

以國(guó)家課程為內(nèi)核；

以IB課程理念為指導(dǎo)；

以劍橋通道課程和國(guó)際融合課程為特色；

實(shí)現(xiàn)一體化、多樣化、定制化和最優(yōu)化。

The school curriculum adopts National curriculum as the core, guided by the IB educational philosophy and featured with Cambridge Pathway and International Carousel Courses. The continuum programmes will be optimized and seamlessly articulated and connected, offering best-fit and tailor-made education for each student.

The latest IB official document focuses on students’ agency, self-efficacy, voice, choice and ownership. The key for inclusive and holistic education is to solve teachers’ problems of promoting agency and self-efficacy, while it is also of vital importance to let teachers have voice, choice and ownership.

在圓桌討論會(huì)上，總校長(zhǎng)與他的老師——倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院教育學(xué)院顧問(wèn)Robin先生等5位嘉賓圍繞“反思全納教育”為話題展開(kāi)探討并分享了各自的觀點(diǎn)，為各位參會(huì)者打開(kāi)了新思路。

During the round-table discussion, General Principal Mr. David Li hared his unique idea with Ms. Marta, principal of Western Academy of Beijing, Mr. Robin, consultant of the School of Education in UCL, and other 3 guests, focusing on “Reflections on inclusive education”, which spark new ideas of the participants.
