｜致知中学部导师项目｜

（以下为译文）

在致知，我们为孩子们提供正确的支持和关怀，在这里每个孩子都是独一无二的。其中，社会和情感学习作为致知的核心优势之一，已经成为我们全体教职工日常工作的核心，它已经渗透至学校生活的方方面面，包括各项课程，课后课，丰富课程和所有全校性的活动中。

在致知的中学部，孩子们被分配到各自的班级中。每个班级配备两名主班教师（通常是中外教师的结合）作为一个团队来支持和照顾学生。老师们根据耶鲁大学情商中心“RULER情商系统”的方法，针对孩子们的个性需求和情况进行计划和实施。正如大家所知，社会与情感学习旨在培养学生的社交和情商以及在学习中所必备的核心技能。除此之外，每个班级每周都会有两节专门针对社会和情感学习的课程。

而本学期我们实行的导师项目更是为确保每个学生都能获得在学校所需的个性化支持提供保障。致知中学部的每个孩子都会被分配给一位导师。导师和学生每周进行一次30分钟的会面，讨论从学校生活到校外兴趣和成就等一系列话题。在致知看来，根据学生的需要和兴趣来分配适合他们的导师，既有助于激发学生在学校的热情和优势，也可以确保师生间建立积极的联系。

我们的导师项目有5个主要目标：

• 确保每一个学生在发展个人技能、向精神和道德成熟的方向发展，以及充分扩展学术能力方面得到帮助，从而变得更加独立并为承担个人责任做好准备。

• 让导师尽可能了解与理解他们的学生，并努力成为他们可以寻求帮助、建议或指导的人。

• 鼓励学生培养对学校社区的社会责任感和对学校生活的积极贡献。

• 鼓励学生在自我表达方面保持尽可能高的标准。

• 鼓励学生在致知旅程的各个阶段做出积极的决策。

• 导师为学生树立积极的榜样。

当学生在学校或家庭中遇到任何问题时，导师是他们的第一个联系点。我们的导师已经进行了关于他们在项目中的角色和责任的培训。每学期结束时，每位导师都会与他们负责的学生进行总结交流，帮助他们设定可努力实现的目标。在致知，我们始终相信以学生为中心的重要性，而导师项目的开展有助于确保学生的需求得到满足。

随着学校的发展和导师项目的开展，我们希望将这一支持系统持续扩大。随着学生们未来升入我们的高中部，希望我们的孩子能够在这个项目中学到技能并学会应用，在未来成为学校学弟学妹的「导师」，让这一项目不止在师生间开展，而在全校更大的范围内实施。这些技能都将为他们的中学生活提供帮助，比如学会如何应对压力，组织家庭作业，以及如何更有效地与同学和老师沟通。

作为致知的驱动目标之一，发展一个具有支持性与可持续性的社区是我们一直以来努力的方向。伴随导师项目的开展，我们发展社区支持和家庭意识的方式将更加成熟和值得期待。

At BES we believe that every student is unique and with the right support and care can achieve. Social and Emotional learning is at the core of everything that our teachers and staff do on a daily basis. This is planned in our lessons, after school programs, enrichment courses and all school wide activities. 

In middle school students are assigned to a homeroom. Each homeroom is assigned two teachers who work as a team to support and care for the students assigned to them. This is often a combination of a foreign and Chinese teacher where possible. These teachers follow the Ruler program which we have been approved to run by Yale university and runs at the start of every day. This program is aimed at developing students social and emotional intelligence along with core skills which are essential for their studies. Along with this each homeroom attends two periods of dedicated Social and Emotional Learning each week.

On top of all this we have also this semester launched our Advisor program to make sure each student has the individualized support they need to be successful at school. Every student in our middle school has been assigned to a teacher. Advisors and Tutee’s meet once a week for 30 minutes in order to discuss a range of topics from school life to interests and achievements outside of school. Advisors are assigned based on the needs and interest of the students in order to make sure that the relationships developed are positive and help to drive the students’ passion and strengths at school.

There are 5 key aims for this program which are:

• To ensure every pupil is given help in developing personal skills, in growing towards spiritual and moral maturity, and in extending academic capabilities to the full thus becoming more independent and ready to accept personal responsibility.

• For Advisors to know and understand their tutees as well as possible and to strive to become accepted as the person to whom they can turn for help, advice or guidance.

• For Advisors to encourage pupils to develop, both a sense of social responsibility to the school community and to contribute positively to the life of the school.

• To encourage the pupils to maintain the highest possible standards regarding the presentation of self.

• To encourage positive decision making at all stages of their journey through BES.

• For advisors to be a positive role model for their tutees.

Advisors are the first point of contact for students when they have any issue at school or at home. Our advisors have been trained on their roles and responsibilities to the program. Each advisor will also hold summary meetings with their tutees at the end of each semester to help them set achievable goals for them to strive towards. At BES we genuinely believe that the student comes first and this program helps to make sure that students needs are met. 

As the school grows and the program develops we hope to expand this supportive system. As students move up to our High school in the future, we hope that our students can take the skills learned during this program and become peer advisors to younger students in the school. Students will be able to offer help with life in middle school, how to deal with pressure, how to become organized with homework and how to communicate more effectively with their classmates and teachers. 

Developing a supportive and sustainable community is a driving goal at BES and this program is just one way in which we develop community support and a sense of family.
