Helping Your Child to be World Ready

助力孩子，面向未来 — 

如何培养全球胜任力

Mr Steve Allen 安弘博先生

Founding Head Master 创校校长

I am often asked about the values and direction of an LEH education and what makes a truly international education different. I think I can sum this up in 2 words, World Ready. At LEH we are not just preparing students to achieve excellent academic results and enter the university of their choice for their chosen career, but we aim to prepare them to thrive and be happy in the World beyond university.   

我经常被问及LEH教育的价值观和方向，以及国际教育的与众不同之处。我认为可以用一个词语概括，那就是：全球胜任力。在LEH，我们不仅是帮助学生们取得学术上的成功，进入理想的大学，从事感兴趣的职业，同时，我们希望教会他们为未来的发展而准备，在大学毕业后的现实世界中建立起丰盛快乐的人生。 

It is clear to me that students entering LEH today will face a very different World when they graduate from University. If we look back over the past 10 years, we can see that the major industries and employers were in their infancy. Some of the large corporate employers then no longer enjoy their former influence. If we think about our own everyday experience: many of the industries today that are key employers, contributors to the economy or ‘essential’ to everyday life simply did not exist when we were at School.

我们都清楚明白，展望未来，我们的学生将会在大学毕业后面临一个截然不同的世界。10年前，现在的一些主流行业和大型雇主也都还处于萌芽阶段。而曾经的一些大型企业现时也不再拥有其以前的影响力了。这种巨大的变化，我们在日常生活中也深有体会：当今许多龙头企业、支柱产业，或是现今生活中的关键行业，在我们上学的时候还根本不存在。 

It is obvious that it is not possible to predict the future, so how can we prepare students for a future when we do not know what that future will be? The truth is it is difficult, but we must try. We know that the World will change and if we continue to prepare students for the World as we know it today we will fail them. 

未来无人能够预测，但如果我们不知道未来世界将会发展成什么样子，那又该如何帮助学生们为未来做好准备呢？事实上这很困难，但我们也必须要竭尽己能。我们知道将来的世界必定会改变，如果继续以我们今天所认知的世界来教导学生，那我们终将辜负他们。 

One simple answer is to ensure that they learn the ‘soft’ skills they need for life alongside the best academic education we can provide – but that education should no longer focus solely on knowledge. Computer algorithms and artificial intelligence programs ensure that knowledge can be accessed faster and more readily than ever before – we can simply ask Alexa.

以上问题可以用一个简单的答案来回答，就是确保学生们在接受卓越的学术教育的同时，还能学习到终生受用的“软技能”。而所谓卓越教育，不应该只关注知识，因为现在的计算机算法和人工智能程式已经能够帮助我们更快速更容易地获取知识，例如只需要问一下Alexa等人工智能助手。 

At LEH, we ensure that our students are adaptable, life-long learners, eager to embrace new ideas and to be drivers of change for good. We do this by developing the skills and attitudes of mind required to be World ready and successful at University and beyond into the World of work and adult life. We encourage our students to be bold, to try new things and to never let set backs dent their determination.

在LEH，我们确保学生具备灵活应变的能力，成为终身学习者，渴望汲取新知识，亦是成为努力让世界变得更好的推动者。我们通过培养学生的技能和心态，让他们习得成功所需的素养及能力，为大学及日后的工作和生活做好准备。我们鼓励学生大胆尝试新事物，在面对挫折时坚定不移，勇往直前。 

Learning to be World ready cannot simply happen in the classroom, but in any context. Participation in team sports, orchestra, drama productions debates and a host of other activities allow students to learn what we call the 8Cs: 

全球胜任力并不仅限在课堂习得，学习无所不在。例如参与团队运动、管弦乐队、戏剧创作、辩论等其他一系列活动，都能够培养学生们的“8C品质”： 

Developing these core skills through a full programme of ECAs is as important as a knowledge and understanding of algebra and geometry.

通过丰富的课外活动来发展这些核心技能，与学习代数和几何知识同样重要。 

I believe it is possible to have it all… a joyful, holistic and academic education that allows students to develop into responsible, compassionate and productive citizens. I think it is important to explore the importance of students’ happiness and wellbeing further. 

我相信，快乐与成功是可以并存的。通过提供愉悦的，全人的和高质量的学术教育，培养学生们成为有责任心、同理心和为社会作贡献的公民。我认为有必要进一步探讨学生们快乐和福祉的重要性。 

When I ask parents what they want for their child in the future, most will reply to be happy and successful and to enjoy life. However when I ask what they want from School, they want them to work hard, do well in exams and achieve top academic outcomes even if that means endless tutoring. Too often we allow these different aims to compete and parents and schools sacrifice a student's happiness and wellbeing for so called academic success. 

每当我问到家长们对孩子的未来有何期望时，他们大多数都回答说希望孩子们快乐、成功并且享受生活。然而，当被问及对学校有什么要求时，他们却都想要孩子们努力学习，在考试中取得优异成绩，即使这意味着没有尽头的补习。人们常常纵容这些矛盾的愿望相互对抗，默许家长和学校为了所谓的学术成功而牺牲了学生们的快乐和幸福。 

At LEH we believe in joyful education. We believe it is possible to be successful academically without endless tutors and extra lessons; it is possible for a student to achieve high academic outcomes and to enjoy their hobbies, passions and interests. It is not necessary to sacrifice music, art, drama and sport to the endless treadmill of tutors and tests. 

LEH相信愉悦教育。我们相信即使没有日以继夜的补习班，学生们也可以取得学业上的成功，并充分发展他们的兴趣爱好。我们没有必要为了永无休止的补习和考试，牺牲他们的音乐、艺术、戏剧和体育课。 

At LEH we believe learning should be fun, exciting and provide a sense of awe and wonder. 

LEH相信学习应该是有趣的、令人兴奋的，并能让人产生对知识的敬畏感和好奇心。 

At LEH we achieve high academic standards in 3 simple ways: 

在LEH，我们通过3个简单步骤，帮助学生获得高学术水准： 

• Knowing our students, their strengths, weaknesses and personality to start the learning from where they are and to help them to learn in the way most efficient for them as an individual; too often students are required to repeat endless tasks in areas that they have already proven mastery and this sucks the life and joy out of education, rather like the dementors we read about in Harry Potter.

  
  

  了解我们的学生，了解他们的长处、短处和个性，以此为基础，帮助他们用最有效的方式来学习；过去，学生们被要求在他们已经掌握的知识领域中无意义地重复练习，这种枯燥的学习模式吸干了教育的活力和乐趣，就像是《哈利波特》中的摄魂怪一样。 

• Understanding that learning is a social process that requires interaction – talking, questioning and debating. You will not find a silent classroom at LEH, but you will find engaged students working alongside their teachers asking questions, working alongside each other to refine and develop their own understanding or to help another student do the same.

  
  

  认识学习是一种社交过程，需要产生互动 —— 交谈、提问和辩论。在LEH，教室不是安静的，学生们积极融入课堂，并向老师提出疑问。同学之间分享与交流，共同协作，丰富和拓展自己的知识，并互相帮助，共同进步。 

• Understanding that academic success requires careful teaching. At LEH we follow the British spiral curriculum that revisits topics regularly, building on prior foundations and reinforcing understanding. We blend the mastery learning of Confucian education with social learning situations… for example learning how to write 1 or 2 really good sentences before trying to push students to write pages. 

  
  

  理解学术上的成功，需要细心全面的教学支持。在LEH，我们遵循英国的螺旋式课程，定期重温知识重点，在以前的基础上加强理解。我们将儒家教育中的精通学习与社交学习相结合。例如，与其施压让学生写出几页纸的文章，不如先学好如何写出1-2个值得品味的，真正的好句子。 

At LEH progress can look slower at first as we try to develop a deep and secure understanding that provides a really firm foundation for learning to accelerate once mastery has been achieved. 

在LEH，一开始的学习进度可能看起来不会太快。这是因为我们希望培养学生们对知识的深刻理解，打下坚实的基础，为日后加快进程做好准备。 

To be World Ready students certainly need to have a high-quality academic education, but they need so much more than that. They need to be curious and adaptable, prepared to think creatively and critically to solve problems. They need to develop a sense of commitment and craftsmanship to ensure that they spend the time required to complete each task to the best of their abilities. The reality of the modern world is to be part of a team, collaborating with others to achieve so much more than we can do on our own. Lastly and by no means least, students need to develop the ability to see the world from the viewpoints of others, to develop a sense of social responsibility and compassion. While we will always encourage students to strive to be better, to do more and to achieve more, at LEH we will always focus on the need to do this with others in mind and not to achieve new heights by trampling on other people. 

培养“全球胜任力”的学生当然需要高质量的学术教育，但这不是唯一。他们需要有好奇心和适应力，懂得用创新性和批判性思维来解决问题。他们需要具备主动性和工匠精神，高效利用时间完成每项任务。在当今世界，团队合作必不可少。众人拾柴火焰高，学会合作能帮助我们取得更大的成就。最后，同样重要的一点是，学生需要培养从他人角度看世界的能力、社会责任感和同理心。虽然我们一直鼓励学生要努力做得更好更多，取得更大的成就，但在LEH，我们会一如既往强调在做这些事情的时候要考虑到其他人，不能用损人的方式来利己。

In summary, an LEH education is holistic, paying equal attention to academics and the joy of an education that inspires awe and wonder. Our truly international education will prepare your child for their uncertain future; it will prepare them to be World Ready. 

概括地说，LEH秉持着全人教育的理念，注重学术成就的同时，让学生在能够激发对知识的敬畏感和好奇心的教育中找到乐趣。我们真正的国际教育会帮助您的孩子，为无法预测的未来世界做好准备 —— 胜任全球。
