10月25-27日，蘇城外國語學(xué)校總校長李春雷先生率領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)，受邀前往深圳參加RAISE2019亞洲國際學(xué)校大會。

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”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，您今天分享的內(nèi)容是我聽過最專業(yè)，最接地氣，最能引發(fā)我共鳴的一場演講！”來自南京的一位嘉賓這樣說到。

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?

演講開始，李春雷總校長以豐子愷的漫畫《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，得到平等對待。

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、以及資源配置和評估是不一樣的。

有效性：每一個(gè)學(xué)生已有的知識經(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，陽光、快樂、開朗、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)展和特長發(fā)展，熱愛探究、勤學(xué)好問、知識淵博，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.

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

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.

在本次論壇大會期間，總校長率領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)就IB國際教育發(fā)展、姊妹學(xué)校建立、國內(nèi)外課程融合創(chuàng)新等話題，與芬蘭、新加坡、加拿大、香港等國際學(xué)校校長進(jìn)行了廣泛接觸與深入交流。

During the sessions of the conference, the General Principal Mr. David Li and the delegates of our school had frequent interactions with the principals from Finland, Singapore, Canada, Hong Kong on the development of IB education, Partnership between sister schools, and the integration and innovation of international curriculums and the national curriculum.
