2022-2023 Orientation Week II

国际部的教学始终强调以学生为中心，并且致力于实践在每一个教育细节当中。因此，本次培训特地安排了学生代表与新教师们见面，让大家听到来自学生们的声音，真正了解他们心中的校园、老师和学习氛围。来自小学、初中和高中的三位学生代表都向老师们表达了最喜欢学校的家庭文化。在这里，每位同学都会得到老师的尊重和关注，老师们总是耐心倾听他们的想法，尊重他们的选择，帮助他们更好地学习和成长。

As part of the school’s commitment to students, THIS invited student representatives from the primary, middle, and high school levels to meet with new teachers to talk about the campus, share their feelings about the teachers, and the learning atmosphere at THIS. All three students expressed their appreciation for the caring teachers. Here at THIS, every student receives respect and attention from their teachers always listening patiently to their ideas, offering choices, and helping them learn and grow.

融洽的家校关系是国际部一直以来的优势之一，在每年的培训中，国际部家委会都会为新教职工们准备欢迎早餐会。家长代表们一早就来到学校准备，中西式早餐的结合体现了家长们的满满心意和温暖。作为国际部大家庭的成员，家长代表们分享了对学校最真切的感受。他们表示，清华附中国际部是最好的国际学校，在这里，学生和老师们都对学校有着深深的热爱。老师会给予每位学生关注和支持，同时也总是以高标准严格要求学生的学习。国际部的教育真正培养了学生成为终生学习者的素质和能力。在这里，老师与学生们共同成长，一路相伴。今年，能够有更多专业和优秀的新教师们加入是一件幸福的事。新的学年，家长们期待着继续家校共育，和老师们共同见证孩子的成长。学校也再一次感谢家长们的充分信任和支持。

Authentic home-school relationships have always been one of the strengths of THIS. As such, the Parent Council prepared a welcome breakfast for the new staff members. Parent representatives came early to school to set up the sumptuous meal – a of combination of Chinese and Western breakfast items that reflected their warm appreciation. As members of THIS family, the parent representatives shared their most sincere feelings for the school. They said that THIS is the best international school where students and teachers all have the deep love for it. The teachers give attention and support to every student, and always hold students to high standards of learning. The international education here truly develops the qualities and capabilities of students to become lifelong learners. Here, teachers and students grow together and are together all the way. The parent representatives also expressed how the THIS family considers it a blessing to have such professional and excellent new teachers join the school. THIS parents look forward to continuing the home-school co-education and witnessing the growth of their children together with the teachers. The school also thanked the parents once again for their full trust and support they have given to the school.

培训中，行政主任董文博老师带领相关行政老师重点为外籍新教师们带来了详细的中国法律法规和师德规范培训，让外籍员工们更加了解中国的法律规范、社会文化，以及在华工作需要注意的方方面面。这对于在华工作的教师们来说是至关重要的，也为他们开展工作提供了极大的帮助。

During this week of orientation, the foreign staff members were given a better understanding of Chinese laws, social culture, and all aspects of working in China. This crucial training for teachers provides them greater convenience and assistance in carrying out their work here.

东方艺术老师马瑛和新中国籍教师分享了学校温馨的工作氛围，以及她的教学实践和个人成长。她说到，国际部让每位老师有更多的机会走向前沿，鼓励大家探索创新，实现教育梦想。数学组组长Jeanne Croker老师，作为多年在国际部执教的外籍资深教师，也与新外籍教师们分享了她的教学感受。小学部新教师们则进一步探讨了“响应式课堂”，以及阅读和写作坊的教学方案。大家不断迸发并交流创新想法，对即将开始的教学工作和活动充满期待。中学部新教师在Deborah Kapraun老师的带领下了解并体验了“Circles教学法”。大家以小组为单位，探索如何在教学中引导学生积极合作，激发学习动机，提升课堂教学质量。

Ms. Ma Ying, the eastern art teacher  shared with all the new Chinese teachers about the warm working atmosphere, as well as her teaching experience and personal growth. She talked about how THIS gives each teacher more opportunities to be at the forefront, encouraging everyone to explore and innovate to achieve their educational dreams. Ms. Jeanne Croker, Head of the Math department and a veteran teacher at THIS, also shared her experiences with foreign teachers. New primary teachers further explored Responsive Classroom as well as the Reading and Writing Workshop model. New teachers brainstormed creative ideas to better prepare for the upcoming teaching activities. Ms. Deborah Kapraun facilitated CIRCLES training for the new secondary teachers. Working in small groups, the team explored how to guide students to cooperate actively in teaching, motivate learning, and improve the quality of classroom teaching.

Mr. Long Yuqing, Math Teacher

The most important lessons I learned from the orientation are:

1. We are a family. We can trust our team and rely on each other’s professionalism.

2. Our school is student-centered. Everything is by design to benefit the students as top priority.

3. We set high standards. We believe in ourselves to deliver the best education, and we believe our students will exemplify our top standards.

It was an informative, rigorous, enlightening, yet humourous, warm orientation. Many thanks to everyone who prepared this orientation.

龙宇清老师—数学

新教师培训带给我最重要的收获是：

1. 我们是一个大家庭，我们可以彼此信任，并且依靠彼此的专业精神。

2. 学校以学生为中心，一切都把学生放在了首位。

3. 我们设定高标准。我们相信自己能提供最好的教育，我们也相信我们的学生会成为我们最高标准的典范。

这是一次内容丰富、严谨、富有启发性，同时也是幽默、温暖的迎接新教师的一周。非常感谢准备此次培训的每一位老师。

Mr. Gonçalo Porto, PE Teacher

When I had the opportunity to join THIS i’ve started looking for some information about the school, staff, facilities. I was told THIS was a small community that behaves as a big family. After my fist week here i can confirm it and i’m looking forward to meet our students and be part of the “family”. All the information, training and team building activities that we’ve done were really important to help me understand how this school works and how should i adapt myself to this new environment. I was looking for a different challenge and THIS is corresponding to my expectations. I hope that we can all have a great school year together and enjoy every second, as a big family.

Gonçalo Porto老师—体育

当我有机会加入国际部时，我已经开始寻找一些关于学校的信息。有人告诉我，这是一个小社区，但更是一个大家庭。在培训的一周里我充分感受到了这一点，接下来我期待着与们见面，并成为这个“大家庭”的一部分。所有的培训活动让我我全面了解国际部以及我如何更快很好地适应新的环境。我已经在期待迎接不同的挑战，希望我们大家一起度过又一个美好的学年，享受在这个大家庭中的每个时刻。

全面、专业和温馨的培训后，新教师们已然融入到了国际部大家庭中，每一天都能收获专业提升和家庭般的温暖。每位老师都满怀憧憬，期待着迎接学生的笑脸，带着明确的目标和理想，尽情发挥专业能力，开启赋能学生成长的实践。接下来，国际部全体教职工都会回到校园，为开学做最充分的准备。新学年，我们来啦！

After a comprehensive, professional and warm orientation week, the new staff are quickly settling into the THIS family. Each teacher is full of enthusiasm and is looking forward to welcoming the students back to school. With clear goals and aspirations, they will fully practice their professional abilities to start the journey of empowering student growth. In the following week, all staff will return to campus to get ready for the school year. Here we go, let’s kick off the new school year together!
