立足实践，成就卓越——清华附中国际部教研日

教研日伊始，课程副主任Ms. Sumita带领全体教师悉数了国际部的6个核心价值观：身心健康、正直担当、尊重包容、团结合作、领袖气质、探索创新。她还别出心裁地设计了一个Becoming（成为）为关键词的词云，让各位老师写下联想到的词汇。随后，Ms. Croker将大家分成6组，并指导大家剖析和讨论了各部门如何更好地丰富核心价值观的内涵。

然后，任课老师和行政老师们分别进行了教学主题的相关培训和专业支持技能培训。

任课老师的教学软件培训内容详实，涵盖了教学、备课和评估的方方面面，包括人工智能课堂、构建评分标准、Canva初级与高级技能、熟悉数据和智能互动白板等。

行政主任董文博老师邀请到了顺义国际学校政府事务部副校长牟鑫梅女士，她为全体行政老师进行了《非教学团队如何与教育团队建立高效伙伴关系》的主题培训。牟校长强调，行政团队老师和教育团队是相辅相成的伙伴关系，她还和与会的行政老师们共同总结了这种伙伴关系的引申义，即平等、信任、互助、友好、合作、团结、具有共同的愿景。行政老师们要追求成为一专多能的老师，用自身的专业性、职业性和敬业性，确保恪尽职守，使命必达。

午餐时间，教导主任Ms. Croker主持了与新老师的交流会。她询问了新老师们在生活、工作中所遇到的疑惑，并结合自己在中国8年的经验，耐心地为他们做出了详细的解答。新老师们纷纷表示学校无论是在生活还是工作上都给予了他们莫大的支持，体验到了前所未有的温馨的氛围。

下午，中小学老师们开展了内容丰富、形式多样、与时俱进的教育教学培训，内容主要涵盖了读写素养工作坊（中学部）、读写素养研讨会（小学部）、Schoology基础知识以及基于不同学科的专业教学技能培训等。

在当天下午的中文组培训上，清华附中退休语文教师，清华附中前语文教研组长的徐慧琳老师进行了名为“艰难困苦，玉汝于成——清华精神”的主题讲座。讲座上，徐老师从清华历史和清华校歌的角度深度解读了清华精神，让在场的中文教师们受益匪浅。在讲座后的座谈会上，徐老师结合当下教育教学实际，与大家沉浸式研讨了语文学科思维的培养。徐老师扎实深厚的学科教学知识和真诚大方细腻的教学风格深深吸引了在场的每一位教师，为提高国际部教师的课堂教学水平指引了方向。

值得一提的是，我们还邀请了一位在人工智能领域颇有心得的12年级学生为教师们做了一场演示报告。这位同学将ChatGPT进行了二次开发，使教师和学生们可以用其开发的Notetaker应用程序将大段的学习内容迅速转化为结构化的笔记，帮助复习等，同时也可以多方面辅助教师们的工作。他不但利用最前沿的工具帮助自己和同学更加高效地学习和复习，而且心系社区，为教师们也开发了助手应用，全面地帮助THIS发展。这是THIS核心价值的完美展现！

在培训的后半段，THIS人工智能教育负责人龙宇清老师介绍了近期AI工具在多模态应用的发展。大模型的发展到现在，不仅能处理文字，甚至到语音、图片、视频都有很多成熟的应用。课本内容将会变得前所未有的鲜活，知识将跃然纸上，以更多富有想象力的方式呈现。

与此同时，技术部门的赵浩钟老师为行政老师们讲解了Office软件实用很强的新功能，老师们受益匪浅，并进一步加深了对数据处理、文字质量把控和幻灯片实时语音翻译等功能的了解。之后，行政老师们开展了“环境育人”为主题的研讨会。老师们群策群力，分小组讨论，积极而热情地为国际部环境的改进和如何发挥教育意义献言献策。

希望老师们在未来的教育实践中，继续坚持学习创新、勇于尝试、敢于探索，不断学习、分享、反思，成为更加优秀的教育者，让每一位学生都能够实现自我潜能！

At the beginning of the Professional Development Day, Ms. Sumita, the Associate Curriculum Benita, led all teachers to thoroughly review the six core values of Tsinghua International School: wellbeing, integrity, respect, collaboration, leadership, innovation. She also ingeniously designed a word cloud with the keyword “Becoming” and asked all teachers to write down associated words. Subsequently, Ms. Croker divided everyone into six groups and guided them in analyzing and discussing how each department can better enrich the connotation of the core values.

Director of the Admnistration Team, Ms. Dong Wenbo, invited Ms. Mou Xinmei, the Vice Principal of the Government Affairs Department at Shunyi International School, to conduct a themed training session on “How Non-Teaching Teams Can Establish Efficient Partnership with Educational Teams” for all administrative teachers. Principal Mou emphasized that administrative and educational teams are complementary partners. She also collaborated with the attending administrative teachers to summarize the extended meaning of this partnership, which includes equality, trust, mutual assistance, friendliness, cooperation, unity, and share of the common vision. The administrative teachers should strive to become versatile professionals and fulfill their duties with professionalism, dedication, and a sense of mission.

During lunchtime, Ms. Croker, the Dean of Faculty, presided over a communication meeting with new teachers. She inquired about the concerns they encountered in their daily life and work, and patiently provided detailed answers based on her 8 years of experience in China. The new teachers expressed their gratitude for the tremendous support they received from THIS FAMILY, both in their personal and professional lives, and they remarked on the unprecedented warm atmosphere they experienced.

In the afternoon, the primary and secondary department teachers conducted a content-rich, diverse, and up-to-date educational training program. The training mainly covered a reading and writing literacy workshop (for middle school), a reading and writing literacy seminar (for primary school), Schoology basic knowledge, as well as professional teaching skills training based on different subjects.

During the Chinese language training session in the afternoon, Ms. Xu Huilin, a retired Chinese language teacher from Tsinghua High School, former head of the Chinese Language Research Department at Tsinghua High School, gave a lecture titled “Endure Hardship, Reap Success – Tsinghua Spirit”. In her lecture, Ms. Xu deeply interpreted the Tsinghua Spirit from the perspectives of Tsinghua’s history and the Tsinghua school anthem, greatly benefiting the Chinese language teachers present at the event. During the subsequent discussion session, Ms. Xu engaged in immersive discussions with everyone on the cultivation of thinking skills in the Chinese language subject, taking into account the practicality of current education and teaching. Ms. Xu’s solid and profound knowledge in subject teaching and her sincere, generous, and meticulous teaching style deeply attracted every teacher present, providing guidance for improving the classroom teaching level of the International Department’s teachers.

It is worth mentioning that we also invited a 12th-grade student to give a demonstration report to the teachers. He has developed ChatGPT further and created a Notetaker application that allows teachers and students to quickly convert large amounts of learning content into structured notes, which can assist in reviewing and other aspects, while also providing comprehensive support to teachers in their work. He not only utilizes cutting-edge tools to help themselves and their classmates study and review more efficiently but also cares about the community and has developed an assistant application for teachers, contributing to the overall development of THIS. This is a perfect manifestation of THIS’s core values!In the latter part of the training, the head of THIS AI Education, Yuqing Long, discussed the recent developments of AI tools in multimodal applications. The evolution of large models now enables them not just to process text, but also to handle voice, images, and videos, with many mature applications emerging. Textbook content will become more vibrant than ever before, bringing knowledge to life and presenting it in more imaginative ways. 

In the latter part of the training, Mr. Long Yuqing, the head of AI Education at THIS, introduced the recent development of AI tools in multimodal applications. With the advancement of large-scale models, they can not only process text but also have mature applications in speech, images, and videos. Textbooks will become more vivid than ever before, and knowledge will come to life in more imaginative ways, presenting a new and exciting learning experience.

Meanwhile, Mr. Zhao Haozhong from the IT Support Team explained the practical and powerful new features of the Office software to administrative teachers. The teachers benefited greatly from his presentation and further deepened their understanding of functions such as data processing, quality control of written content, and real-time voice translation in presentations. Following that, the administrative teachers conducted a seminar with the theme of “Educating through the Environment”. They actively participated in group discussions and enthusiastically contributed ideas on how to improve the environment of the International Department and make it more educationally meaningful.

We hope that teachers will continue to uphold a spirit of learning, innovation, and daring exploration in their future educational practices. We encourage them to continue learning, sharing, and reflecting, striving to become even better educators who can help every student realize their full potential!
