作為一名PYP教師，要給學(xué)生“一杯水”，首先自己要有“一桶水”、“長流水”，踐行終身學(xué)習(xí)者的發(fā)展目標(biāo)。蘇城外國語學(xué)校作為一所IB候選國際學(xué)校，匯集了一批志同道合的優(yōu)秀教師。為了幫助教師提升基本技能、激發(fā)能動性、促進(jìn)自我成長，近日，蘇城外小學(xué)部舉行了一場別開生面的青年教師基本功比賽。

As a PYP teacher, to give students ‘a(chǎn) glass of water’, first of all, they should have ‘a(chǎn) bucket of water’themselves, which means that they need to be lifelong learners for future development. As an IB world school, Soochow Foreign Language School brings together a group of like-minded outstanding teachers. In order to help teachers improve their basic skills, promote agency and promote their self-development, a basic skill competition among young teachers was held recently by the teaching and research teams of primary school.

語文組結(jié)合了IB對教師的基本要求，將比賽設(shè)為三個項(xiàng)目：粉筆字、即興演講與探究單設(shè)計。

According to the basic requirements of IB, Chinese teaching and research team divided the competition into three parts: chalk writing, improvised speech and designing inquiring worksheets.

參賽老師們集中展示的粉筆字書寫作品。字形優(yōu)美舒展、工整有致，均是老師們長時間堅(jiān)持練習(xí)的成果，充分展現(xiàn)了教師“孜孜不倦育桃李”的深厚功底。

The chalk writing works exhibited by the participating teachers are the results of the teachers' long-term practice, which fully demonstrate teachers' ability in cultivating students.

為鍛煉語文教師的思辨能力，語文組將獨(dú)創(chuàng)的看圖即興演講，作為比賽項(xiàng)目之一?！耙磺€人眼中有一千個哈姆雷特”，在小小的一方舞臺中，每位選手都對自己抽到的圖片進(jìn)行解說，展現(xiàn)精彩自我。

In order to train the critical thinking of Chinese teachers, the Chinese group uniquely created the improvisation speech as one of the events. ‘There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people’. On the stage, each contestant gave a unique explanation to the pictures they picked, demonstrating their brilliant minds.

為引導(dǎo)學(xué)生積極探究，探究單的合理設(shè)計便成了IB教師的必備技能之一。老師們設(shè)計的探究單側(cè)重于語文學(xué)科知識的同時，體現(xiàn)超學(xué)科理念，并且契合了不同年齡段學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)特點(diǎn)。

IB requires students to explore spontaneously. In order to guide students to explore continuously, designing reasonable and workable inquiry sheets has become one of the essential skills of IB teachers. The inquiring worksheets designed by the teachers focused on the basics of Chinese as well as transdisciplinary knowledge. In the meantime, they conformed to the learning characteristics of students at different ages.

小學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)組教師基本功競賽分為三部分：硬筆書法、無生試講以及解題能力。

The basic skills competition of primary school mathematics team was comprised of three parts: hard pen calligraphy, demo class without students and problem-solving ability test.

硬筆書法練字不僅僅是在書寫，更在于修心的過程。

Hard pen calligraphy is not all about writing. It can also be considered as an integral process of cultivating writers’ minds.

在第二場無生試講競賽中，各位老師充分把握短短的十分鐘時間，明確教學(xué)目標(biāo)，熟練掌握教學(xué)內(nèi)容，在教學(xué)過程中有意識進(jìn)行提問、追問。

“是這樣嗎？”

“為什么？”

“還有不同的意見嗎？”

逐層深入，啟發(fā)學(xué)生不斷思考，將學(xué)習(xí)者從凝固的觀念中解放出來，覺悟到“無知之知”，學(xué)生的反思與批判意識和能力在這一過程得到激發(fā)。在質(zhì)疑、提問、追問、討論、表達(dá)中，學(xué)生的思辨水平得以提升。

In the second part of the competition, no student trial contest, each teacher made full use of the given ten minutes, defined the teaching objectives, made the teaching contents clear, and consciously asked questions during the teaching process, ‘ is this right?’ ‘Why?’ ‘Any different opinions?’ With the further discussion, the brainstorms enlighten students to think constantly and liberate learners from their fixed ideas. In this process, students' reflective and critical consciousness and ability are stimulated. Students' thinking level can be improved during continually questioning, discussion and expression.

提高解題能力是教師提高課堂質(zhì)量的有力抓手。比賽中，老師們認(rèn)真審題、仔細(xì)解答，表現(xiàn)出極高的業(yè)務(wù)水平。

Improving teachers’ ability of solving problems is a powerful way for teachers to improve the quality of classes. During the competition, the teachers carefully examined the questions and answered them carefully, showing a high level of professional skills.

英語組本次基本功大賽我們分為三大板塊：英文書寫，無聲試講和現(xiàn)場情境問答。

Three parts made up the basic skills competition of English teaching and research team: English writing, demo class without students and on-site Q&A.

板書是體現(xiàn)教師基本功的一個重要組成部分，英語組的老師們采取現(xiàn)場抽簽英文詩歌，限時比賽的形式，統(tǒng)一書寫。意大利圓體，斜體，羅馬體...老師們玩轉(zhuǎn)花體，行云流水般完成了一幅幅優(yōu)美的板書作品。

Blackboard writing is an important part of teachers' basic skills. English teachers in the English group drew English poems on the spot and write them in a unified way while time is limited. Italian round, italics, Romanesque... The teachers wrote with distinctive flourishes and completed beautiful and delightful blackboard works.

三尺講臺，五米黑板，這就是每一位教師最熱衷和最值得驕傲的工作臺。蘇城外的英語教師們發(fā)揮自己語言專長，流利的口語，生動的課堂展示，在試講課中給小朋友們打造真實(shí)多樣的語言學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，激發(fā)學(xué)生的語言學(xué)習(xí)興趣，加深多元文化理解，發(fā)展國際情懷。

Platform as well as blackboard is teachers’ favorite place where their sense of honor comes from. English teachers from Soochow Foreign Language School gave full play to their language expertise, fluent oral English and vivid classroom display, creating anauthentic and diversified language learning environment for children in the trial lecture and stimulating students' interest in language learning. Consequently, intercultural understanding and international mindedness are promoted.

實(shí)際教學(xué)的多樣性，要求老師要用全球視野思考問題。情境問答考驗(yàn)了老師們在遇到課堂中很多突發(fā)情況，充分發(fā)揮教師的能動性，幫助孩子成為終身學(xué)習(xí)者，積極探究的IB學(xué)習(xí)者。

The diversity of practical teaching requires teachers to think in a global perspective. Q & A test gave many unexpected situations that teachers may encounter in the classroom and therefore can support teachers' agency and help students become lifelong learners and active IB inquirers.

“問渠哪得清如許？為有源頭活水來。”作為一名教育工作者，只有通過學(xué)習(xí)和交流不斷更新自己，才能夠使自己的思想和見解始終保持常用常新。

As an educator, only by learning and communicating with peers constantly, can our thoughts and opinions be kept up with the times. 

蘇城外國語學(xué)校為打造一個全納全人的學(xué)習(xí)者社區(qū)，積極為教師搭建平臺，為每一位教師的職業(yè)發(fā)展提供支持。教師們在基本功比賽中，不但展示了自身的風(fēng)采，還通過積極參與、專業(yè)引領(lǐng)、相互學(xué)習(xí)、取長補(bǔ)短，不斷提升教學(xué)實(shí)踐和反思，從而為學(xué)生提供更豐富多彩的學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)。

In order to create an inclusive and holistic learning community, Soochow Foreign Language School actively builds a platform for teachers and provides support for each teacher's professional development. In the basic skills competition, teachers not only showed their own style, but also improved teaching ability and reflected through active participation, professional guidance, mutual learning and learning from each other, so as to provide students with more colorful learning experience.
