主旨演讲主题：高效反馈
Keynote speech: The Power of Feedback
我今天要讲的是关于学习的高效反馈。我们如何更大化的使学生受益于高效反馈是学生在学习过程中一个非常重要的因素。但有时候，这一点没有被学生好好利用，原因是他们常常不知道如何好好利用反馈。为了让学生好好采用老师的建议，我们今天来谈一下如何给予他们高效反馈。
My presentation today is about feedback. How we could make feedback more useful for our students is one of the really important and powerful factors in student learning. But sometimes it is not very well used by the students. That is the students don’t often know how to use feedback really well. To use that advice from their teachers, so today we looked at how you make the most of feedback.
This cross campus professional development hopefully can promote the application of our education philosophy “East meets West” in school and stimulate teachers’ professional interests and innate power. In the afternoon, teachers did a lot of multiple and rational explorations on each subject. The workshops showed teachers’ professional research and insights on front line teaching. We discussed a variety of topics: How to analyze picture books; How to add Chinese traditional culture in primary Chinese teaching; The environmental decoration of Mathematics activities; Mathematics games as an indispensable teaching form; English unit teaching design; Using explicit reading skills in the classroom; P4C in the EAL classroom, etc. Each workshop consists of group discussion and interesting Q&A sessions, by which all teachers can exchange ideas and experiences.
The Xiehe Pioneer Curriculum has been established for 9 yearsand and being used in 6 campuses. While focusing on fundamental subjects, much fusion of international curriculumin teaching styles and subject content helps develop students’ reasoning ability, creative thinking and the ability of analyzing and using knowledge, which forms a series of school-based teaching textbook. Thanks to all the teachers from different campuses of Xiehe education group who have contributed to our unique school-based curriculum on the subjects of Chinese, Maths, English, P4C, PE, Music and Art.
Before finishing the meeting, Co―Directors of Curriculum and Teacher Development Center of Shanghai Xiehe Education Group, Mrs Fran and Qin qiu awarded Tutor certificates to teachers who have successfully hosted the various workshops.
协和教育将继续努力，扩大成果，将教育经验分享到全球视野当中，发出协和人的声音，在此过程中，协和教育也会继续为每一位教师、每一个校区提供更多元化的跨校区交流和培训机会，把更多的一线教师推向更宽广的舞台。
