錫城三月，春暖花開，草木萌發(fā)，燕雀啁啾，此時正是學習好時光。俄國心理學家維果斯基將學習定義為“當一個人在新知識與舊知識之間建立聯(lián)系時所發(fā)生的意義創(chuàng)建”。為了提升教師的綜合能力及專業(yè)素養(yǎng)，2019年3月23、24日，無錫外國語學校小學國際課程中心誠邀具有豐富教學和培訓經驗的IB培訓官湯匯老師，為全體教師們展開了為期兩天的IB教師培訓工作坊的活動。
In March , the flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Russian psychologist Vygorsky defined learning as "the creation of meaning when a person establishes a connection between new knowledge and old knowledge". In order to improve teachers’ comprehensive ability and professional quality, on March 23 and 24, 2019, the International Curriculum Center of the Primary School of Wu Xi Foreign Language School invited IB trainer Tang Hui, who has rich teaching and training experience, to launch a two-day IB teacher training workshop for all teachers.
在全體教師們熱情地歡迎下，湯老師開始了第一天的培訓活動。首先，湯老師通過“Dancing partners”和“Let’s line up”的活動方式了解在場教師們IB教學經驗，并針對各教師目前的情況開展了“Making space for learning”主題培訓。湯老師的課堂氣氛輕松活躍，她通過豐富多彩的活動向老師們介紹了建立課堂公約的重要性以及學習空間的概念，同時幫助老師們設定成功的學習目標。
With the warm welcome of all the teachers, Ms. Tang began the first day of training activities. First of all, Ms. Tang learned about IB teaching experience of the present teachers through the activities of "Dancing partners" and "Let's line up", and carried out "Making space for learning" thematic training according to the current situation of the teachers. Teacher Tang's classroom atmosphere was relaxed and lively. She introduced the importance of establishing a classroom convention and the concept of learning space to teachers through a variety of activities. She also helped teachers to set successful learning goals.
接著，在湯老師的引導下，老師們就“安全的學習空間”這個話題展開了熱烈討論，然后以“inside-outside circle”“Lotus template”“bus-station”的活動方式進行互動交流?，F(xiàn)場氣氛愈來愈熱烈。隨著湯老師培訓的深入，老師們對“學習空間”的理解也越來越深刻。一張張便簽紙上躍動著思維的碰撞。當為學習者提供一個安全的學習空間時，學習的幸福感和責任感就會增強，學生也能更高效地去學習探究。
Then, under the guidance of Ms. Tang, the teachers launched a heated discussion on the topic of "safe learning space", and then exchanged with each other in the way of "inside-outside circle", "Lotus template" and "bus-station". The atmosphere on the spot was getting warmer and warmer. With the deepening of teacher Tang's training, teachers’ understanding of "learning space" has become more and more profound. The collision of ideas sprang up on the notes. When providing a safe learning space for learners, the sense of happiness and responsibility in learning will be enhanced, and students can also study and explore more effectively.
既然安全的學習空間如此重要，那么應該如何設計學習空間呢？老師們帶著這樣的疑問，開始了下午的培訓活動。湯老師通過具體的實例來展示如何設計學習空間。博物館、藝術展、手工作品展、家具店、地毯店、燈飾店、戶外景觀、大海、湖泊、森林公園……都可供教師在設計時提供靈感。同時湯老師還提供了PYP教室清單來幫助老師們布置。比如說課表、班級公約、讀書角、學生作品等。這些可供布置的資源都應該聯(lián)系學生現(xiàn)有知識，為他們對新知識的探究牽線搭橋。
Since safe learning space was so important, how should we design learning space? Teachers began the afternoon training activities with such questions. Teacher Tang showed how to design learning space through concrete examples. Museum, Art Exhibition, Handicraft Exhibition, Furniture Shop, Carpet Shop, Lighting Shop, Outdoor Landscape, Sea, Lake, Forest Park... All can provide inspiration for teachers . At the same time, Ms. Tang also provided a list of PYP classrooms to help teachers arrange. For example, curriculum, class conventions, reading corners, student works, etc. All of these resources should be connected with students’ existing knowledge and help them to explore new knowledge.
為了幫助老師們更好地通過概念化視野探究主題，湯老師手把手教學“Pandora’s Box”“ Ferris Wheel Activities”，隨機抽取一個物品，針對這個神秘物品，老師們小組合作探究如何用七個概念去解讀。大家在實際操作中明晰了概念驅動學習。第一天的培訓在大家滿意的笑容中落幕。
In order to help teachers better explore the theme through conceptual vision, Ms.Tang taught Pandora’s Box and Ferris Wheel Activities in person, and randomly extracted an object. In view of this mysterious object, the teachers worked in groups to explore how to interpret it with seven concepts. In practice, we have clarified the concept-driven learning. The first day of training ended with our happy smile.
第二天的培訓活動又在第一縷陽光中悄然開始。首先，老師們分享了概念驅動學習的成果，并且反思到“靈活的學習空間有利于提高學生學習的主動性，靈活的教室很重要?！睖蠋熗ㄟ^“Chalk talk”來幫助老師們理解如何消除學習的障礙。老師們應有意識選擇具有包容性的教學方法、資源、技術、學習和評價活動，來支持學生的多元化發(fā)展。
The next day's training activities began quietly in the first ray of sunshine. First of all, the teachers shared the results of concept-driven learning, and reflected that "flexible learning space is conducive to improving students ‘learning initiative, flexible classroom is very important." Teacher Tang uses "Chalk talk" to help teachers understand how to remove learning barriers. Teachers should consciously choose inclusive teaching methods, resources, and technology, learning and evaluation activities to support students ‘diversified development.
學生的多樣性包括：出生地、學習能力、性格、個性、學習興趣等。在此基礎上，學習很重要的一個環(huán)節(jié)是評估，評估類型可以是形成性的，總結性的以及同伴評估。而評估的形式也是多樣的：演講、演示、采訪、測驗、反思日記、課堂討論、畢業(yè)展、成長手冊等。培訓的最后，老師們圍坐一圈就這兩天的培訓活動做了每個人的小結。大家積極發(fā)言，現(xiàn)場氛圍熱烈友好。
The diversity of students includes: birthplace, learning ability, personality, personality, learning interest and so on. On this basis, an important part of learning is assessment, which can be formative, summative and peer assessment. The forms of assessment are also varied: lectures, presentations, interviews, quizzes, reflective diaries, classroom discussions, graduation exhibitions, growth manuals, etc. At the end of the training, the teachers sat around and made a summary of each person's training activities during the two days. Everyone spoke actively and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
學習是一個不斷總結、反思、探究的過程。培訓的兩天時間雖然短暫，但是老師們耳目一新、受益匪淺。
Learning is a process of continuous summary, reflection and exploration. Although the two days of training were short, the teachers learned a lot.
