While I breathe, I explore, I hope
来到线上教学的第四周，我们想表扬一下老师和同学们付出的努力。尽管周遭环境的不安稳，大家继续尽心尽力在教学和学习的发展上。
We are now on our fourth week of e-learning and we would like to recognize the efforts that our educators and students are putting into making sure that teaching and learning continue to thrive in spite of the uncertainties happening around us.
值得分享给大家的是，学生并不是唯一在线学习的一群。TWIS有几位老师都在线上进修，继续他们的教学专业发展，特别是关于IB课程的认知和理解。
It is also worth sharing with the community that students are not the only ones engaged in online learning. Some of our teachers continue to be involved in professional development, specifically in developing their knowledge and understanding of the IB through digital platforms.
当我们的图书管理员Leonah老师不用在课堂跟学生导读时，其实她正在与她的导师和同学们上课－课程为“IB图书馆员的角色”。
When Ms. Leonah is not engaged in guided reading with her classes, she is connecting with her facilitator and peers in her course, “The Role of the Librarian in the IB”
IB课程是非常严格又具有挑战性的，但现在我对图书馆员在小学PYP、中学MYP和高中DP课程里各个方面的作用有了更深入的理解。通过这门课程，我觉得自己可以为TWIS学生的需求提供更好的支持。
The IB course is rigorous and challenging at times, but I feel that I have a greater understanding of the role of the librarian across spectrums of the PYP, MYP and DP. By taking this course I feel that I can better support the needs of our learning community at TWIS.
——Leonah老师
这并不是Leonah老师第一次在线学习的经历，但她觉得IB在线课程的难度可以和她攻读硕士学位时的一些课程相媲美。她补充道：“学习平台上有很多阅读、留言板的互动、以及提交的专题研习或作业也非常多。”
This is not Ms. Leonah’s first online learning experience, but she feels that the IB online course is comparable to some of her coursework when she was working on her master’s degree. She adds, “There is quite a lot of reading, interaction through message boards and submission of projects or assignments through the learning platform.”
当Jorge老师不是在带领五到八年级学生做激烈的运动锻炼时，他正在参与IB 第一级别工作坊“MYP体育与健康教育（PHE）实践课程”，了解有效的教学和评估策略。
When Mr. Jorge is not leading his Grade 5 to 8 students in highly intense full body work-out, he is participating in his IB category 1 workshop titled “Implementing the MYP Physical and Health Education (PHE) Curriculum” where he is exploring effective teaching, learning and assessment strategies.
我喜欢这个课程可以按照自己的节奏与同样充满热诚的体育教师一起学习PHE课程的框架结构和理念。
I like the fact that I can work at my own pace with equally passionate PE teachers in developing my understanding of the structures and principles of the PHE framework.
——Mr. Jorge 老师
同时，我们的Ann校长也正在就修订的IB课程标准和实践框架进行IB在线培训。作为IB教育者网络的一员，Ann校长将采用并跟从新框架的发展模式来支持IB世界学校的发展。
Our principal, Ms. Ann, is currently engaged in an IB online orientation on the revised IB Programme standards and practices framework. Being a member of the IB Educator Network, Ms. Ann is expected to adopt and model the developmental approach of the new framework in supporting IB World schools.
我很欣赏这门课程按个人步伐学习的性质，而且这是最好的时机，因为TWIS正处于一贯制IB候选学校资格的阶段中。对于IB新标准和实践方式有更好的认识，将有助我们应用在TWIS的课程管理上。
I appreciate the self-paced nature of the course, as well as the timing of the course as TWIS is in the middle of its IB continuum candidacy. Having a better understanding of the new standards and practices will help TWIS apply them according to its unique context.
——Ms. Ann 校长
最后，我们留意到越来越多家长积极参与我们的TWIS线上课程，从跟着孩子一起读书到一起做运动。我们衷心感谢您的全力支持，因为这给学生们意识到一个强烈的信号，就是他们的在线学习是非常重要的。虽然在线学习不能完全跟面对面授课相提并论，但我们在目前状况下尽力做到最好，以确保我们学校社区每个人的健康和安全。
Finally, we are noticing that more and more parents are actively participating in our Virtual School - from reading with their children to performing physical exercises. We thank you for your full support as this sends a strong signal to our students that their online learning is important. Although online learning cannot completely measure up to face-to-face learning, we are all trying very hard to make the best of our current situation in order to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our school community.
