天津美达菲学校是一所纯正美式教育背景、名师资源丰富、从幼儿园到高中15年一体的国际化学校,美国大学理事会批准的AP授权学校。学校设有美达菲国际幼儿园、美达菲双语小学、美达菲双语中学、国际部。

其中,双语高中部深化高中课程改革,高度重视学生自主选择权,因材施教,分层教学,严格管理。设置有领军班、卓越班和特色英语班,为学生营造浸润式语言习得成长环境,基于学校多元化的发展优势,为学生提供更多元的升学空间。

以下为天津美达菲学校优秀教师专访,专访中,美达菲学校的教师详细阐述了创新型的教育模式和理念,以及对孩子学习历程上的深远影响。

我记得当老师的第一年,我带学生出去上课,他们非常开心。这已经成为我作为一个老师的信条之一——如果学生们能够在户外学习,同时被大自然的美所包围,那么就一定要带他们出去!如果学生每天在学校呆7-8个小时,那为什么要一直在课桌前?所以,当我听说张校长鼓励老师们通过“没有墙的教室”- CWW概念,创新性地利用教学空间时,大家就可以理解我为何无比兴奋了。在鼓励教师评估和创新他们如何以及在哪里促进学生知识吸收的过程中,我觉得天津美达菲正在为学生创造一个平台,让他们感到他们是如此激动人心的旅程的一部分。

CWW允许教师采用许多不同的教学方法。首先,它真的调动了学生学习的主动性。他们可以围坐在草地上,长凳上,站立或者行走,只要学习目标达到。学生们的学习方式不同,室外的课程甚至更能调动他们的积极性。其次,因为课程是固定的,任务是在课堂上分配的,所以也发生了分化。此外,学生们与一名学习搭档配对,学生之间的交流也互动就打开了。最后,结果是愉快的。你可以说我过时了,但我相信,当年轻的学习者在享受学习过程时,他们会以一种有纪律的方式,在课程目标清晰的情况下,获得开放的思路并收获更多学习的乐趣。

当我们结束了我们的CWW课程,走回教室时,我能感觉到我的学生们的活力。在户外有一种非常令人振奋和治愈的感觉,对学生来说,当他们感到自己取得了一些成就时,会更加满足。通过积极监督学生,帮助那些没有找到灵感的学生,在课堂完成收集后,剩下的就是让学生在一天后的下一堂课上展示他们的演讲词了。

当我回顾我的高中时光,有许多事情我已经忘记了。但我记得的是构建和创新我的课程; 这些课程之所以引人注目是因为它们是与众不同的。毕竟,教育是你忘记事实后剩下的东西。国际部的CWW将给学生们带来许多难忘的时刻,这些时刻在多年后仍将伴随他们。

I remember in my first year as a teacher taking my students outside for a lesson. They absolutely loved it. It has since become one of my key tenets as a teacher – if students can learn it outside while being surrounded by the beauty that nature has to offer, take them out! If students spend 7-8 hours a day at school, why should it be behind a desk? So, you can understand my excitement when I learned that Principal Zhang has encouraged teachers to be creative in their use of teaching space through the “Classrooms Without Walls” – CWW – concept. In encouraging teachers to evaluate and innovate how and where they facilitate knowledge, I feel that Macduffie Tianjin is creating a platform for students to feel that they are part of a very exciting journey.

CWW allows teachers to employ so many different aspects of teaching. Firstly, it really empowers students. They could sit on the grass, benches, choose to stand or even lie on the grass or walk, as long as objectives were met. Students learn differently, and the lesson outside allowed even kinaesthetic learners to find a space. Secondly, because the lesson had been scaffolded and tasks assigned in the classroom, differentiation also took place. Also, students were paired with a partner, so the peer learning box was checked. Lastly, it was enjoyable. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that young learners open up and learn more when they are having fun, in a disciplined manner where lesson objectives remain clear to them.

As we wrapped up our CWW lesson and made our way back to the classroom, I could feel the energy in my students. There is something very invigorating and healing about being in the outdoors and it is even more gratifying for students when they feel they have achieved something. Through actively monitoring the students and helping those who were not finding the inspiration needed, I was able to glean that objectives were indeed met and that all was left, was for students to present their figures of speech in our next lesson, a day later.

When I look back at my high school years, there are many things I have forgotten. A lot of facts. But what I remember are the lessons that shaped me; the lessons that stood out because they were different. After all, education is what you have left when the facts are forgotten. CWW in the International Department is going to give students many moments that, years later, will remain with them.
