来自美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学(下文简称“北卡”)的11名实习生们在过去一个月的时间里深入王府生活,给同学们上课、一起春游,分享了文化知识及相对应的美国课程。同时,北京王府学校的移动学习、分层教育和中文、剪纸课程等给北卡的实习生们也留下了深刻的印象。德国著名的教育学家雅斯贝尔斯说过,“教育的本质意味着,一棵树摇动另一棵树,一朵云推动另一朵云,一个灵魂唤醒另一个灵魂”。我们相信,这仅仅是个开始,知识内容的传授、文化的交流会一直在两校间传递,永不停止。
For the past month, eleven interns from North Carolina State University (NCSU) went deep into our campus to explore life and learning at BRS, as well as to share American culture with our students. They were especially impressed by BRS’ world-class resources and programs, such as mobile learning and level-based teaching, as well as the integration of Western and Eastern practices, particularly enjoying being introduced to Chinese language and paper-cutting. In the words of the German education expert, Karl Theodor Jaspers, “Education is a tree shaking another tree, a cloud nudging another a cloud, and a soul awakening another soul.” We hope and believe that the mutual exchange of education and culture between BRS and NCSU will continue far into the future.
学习篇
北京王府学校为美国教育专业的毕业生提供了国际化的实习平台,让她们有了人生第一次ESL教学经验,并为每位实习生都安排了一对一的指导老师。跨国界的教育思维理念和先进的教学设备不仅让实习生们在此大展拳脚,同时也形成了学校良好的品牌效应,不断吸引着符合条件的外教们,为我们丰富的外教储备提供源源不断的能量。
幼儿园
Kayla在幼儿园实习的一个月里,非常积极的参与到幼儿园的学习生活当中。她每天早晨要给3-5岁不同阶段的小朋友们上课,下午也有三节课的安排。她经常会和导师讨论怎么教小朋友们说英语以及如何吸引小朋友们的注意力。她同时也给幼儿园小朋友们带来了很多新的歌曲和游戏。
小学部
小学部在以往安排实习生实习工作的基础上,就实习生的到来进行了周密的安排,为不同专项的实习生安排有相关教学经验的指导教师,并为实习生准备了工作夹,提供了学部校历、作息时间、指导教师分课表、培训列表等素材供实习生们参考。
此次的导师首次安排了学部中有突出贡献的外教作为指导教师,便于实习生更好的体验外国人在中国授课的实际体验。
根据实习生在校区实习五周的工作安排,小学部分周次为实习生安排了观摩指导教师上课、在指导教师指导下上课以及独立授课等层层递进的实习实操模式,设身处地的为实习生提供学习和体验的空间和环境。在每周一次的指导教师/实习生例会上,指导教师与实习生分享、评价其实习表现,给予实习生们暖心的指导。
初中部
科学组的Nelia在生物组代莹老师的指导下,参加了初一生物组的联合备课,跟随不同的老师听课学习。第三周起,开始走上讲台,为七年级孩子们教授科学课程。她的课程设计非常新颖,通过多样的活动设计清晰地让孩子学习了habitats和adaptation的相关知识。即使年级较小的七年级孩子也表示能理解90%以上的全英内容,课堂参与也非常积极。期间,还使用我校的移动教学教室,在iPad的辅助下为孩子们带来了一堂独特的生物课。在短短的时间内,积极学习我校开展的IB体系和移动教学系统。
数学组的Rayven积极参与听课,和她的导师魏吉龙老师一起经历了八年级和九年级的大半数学课,与孩子们也建立了较好的沟通。在学校的安排下,Rayven做了充足的准备,为八年级的孩子们上了多节关于一次函数的课程。孩子们反映较好,对于外教的教学形式也很感兴趣。(Rayven和魏老师就移动教学也进行交流,还促成了生动的一课——“移动教学之Kahoot教学趣味比赛”,可点击“阅读原文”进行了解)。
高中部
Libby是北卡数学教育专业的学生。在王府,她被安排10年级,教授precalculus课程。在这几周的时间内,她像一名真正的老师一样,用自己的耐心、善良以及扎实的数学教育背景,赢得了学生们的尊敬。她帮助同学们克服一个又一个数学难题,决不放弃任何一个学生。
娱乐篇
4月12日的小学部春游活动,全部实习生跟随学生来到香山植物园,与指导老师一起陪伴小学生们欢度美好的春天。
4月27日,初中部实习生们跟随学生来到欢乐谷,体验各种游乐项目。
在王府,校方特意为实习生们安排了中文和剪纸课程,放松的同时又很好的学习到了中国文化。
告白篇
每位实习生都非常感激也异常珍惜王府提供的实习机会,临行之际,她们对王府说:
Abigail
I really enjoyed my stay here at BRS. The students are all so kind and generous. They have all welcomed me and made me enjoy coming to school everyday. I think that there could be more beneficial curriculums that are put into place to provide more consistency within the teaching to benefit not only the students, but the teachers as well. I am thankful for my time here at BRS.
Allison
I like that the students within in a class get along so well and really seem to love their teachers. I can hear students getting excited when they see teachers in the hallway and my students always say hello when they see me.
Jessica
I liked the apartment and the library! The librarians are very nice. I loved how the staff in the elementary school listened to our ideas just as we listened to theirs.
Kayla
I like how hospitable everyone is, how much the kids like having me in the classroom and enjoying seeing and interacting with me. Everyone was understanding of anything I needed help with and did everything they could to make the stay great.
Rayven
I really like how all of the teachers in a department share an office. This gives the teachers an opportunity to collaborate during the day. It also provides the students with one location to go for each subject. The teachers and staff have been very friendly and helpful. Both the FTAO and my mentor teacher have answered any questions and been more than willing to help with anything I needed.
Nelia
I love the students here. They are so sweet, and my mentor literally let me do any lessons I wanted with the class.
Rachel
I like the relationships between teachers here at BRS. I like that they are constantly observing and learning from one another in order to improve their teaching. I also like that there are several professional development trainings offered for teachers each month. The school itself is also beautifully kept.
Rebecca
I was most impressed with the sense of history in China. There were so many places to see and experience. I loved being able to learn about Chinese culture through the experience. I was able to see an accurate picture of what China is actually like.
Rebekah
I thought the living arrangement was nice but would have liked to have wifi access just so I could contact my family when needed. I also really liked the cafeteria food and café, both were very good and the working staff was very sweet and accommodating. I like the students in the classroom and my mentor teacher very much!
Libby
I have enjoyed the students and other teachers the most. They have been very helpful and welcoming.
