Second, Peide College
Peide Academy is an interesting existence.
Some people think it is a private school, while others classify it as an "international school". But in my opinion, the nature of the school should not be judged according to the students enrolled. In my eyes, Peide College is a group of educators. The pursuit of cultivating people, body, mind and culture is the understanding and practice of education beyond the country. -Wang He
I know Peide Academy because of Qian Zhilong's illustrated "Different Roads" and "The Return of Chinese and Western Education". It is the professional monologue of China educators who have a deep understanding of Chinese and western education at a historical moment when the middle class is releasing their desire for better education, and some people have awakened and most people still have serious prejudice. Qian Zhilong said that he is more like an advocate than an educator. Because at the moment when China's local international education is full of turmoil and chaos, such combing and expression is very precious.
Qian Zhilong is an interesting and meaningful practitioner in Peide Academy by the lake of Rome, which provides another logic, another ecology, another model and possibility for China education.
Three. international education
In recent years, the number of private schools and schools offering "international courses" in China, as well as various education-related training institutions, study abroad agencies and social practice institutions has increased geometrically. These surging dark clouds all come from China people's solid demand for "high-quality international education" resources. For more people in China, "international education" is still vague.
For parents who want to avoid the college entrance examination or let their children go abroad for "elite education", such a question deserves our deep thought:
(1) How should we recognize the educational differences between the East and the West and achieve the same goal through different routes? What can western teaching provide? What does it mean to choose an international school in China? What can my children get from it?
(2) How to inspect and evaluate an international school? How to observe the school's curriculum theory, curriculum structure, curriculum model and student evaluation? What changes does the universal modular curriculum in international schools mean in education and learning methods? How did you change and rebuild your study life at school?
(3) Why is writing and expression important? Why is critical thinking important? How can project-based learning promote students' deep learning and cooperation? How are parenting, rule awareness, self-awareness and time management cultivated and acquired? How does formative assessment motivate students?
(4) What is the relationship among schools, teachers, students and parents, and how to grow into a learning community? How to stimulate everyone's sense of responsibility and public welfare in the community and prevent them from becoming "exquisite egoists"?
Choice is greater than thinking. It is more meaningful to have a thoughtful choice. Facing the endless stream of new educational terms, we can only learn from them and make great progress by understanding their connotations.
