NACIS首次校内开放日|构建家校教育合力
在陪伴孩子成长的路上,永远有一个更广阔的世界,等待着我们寻路而去。每一次家校的有效交流,都仿佛是来自教育的回声,回应着我们关于教育与知识的见解,激励我们去着眼于孩子成长过程中真正重要的议题。
每一条求学的路上,都有孩子的辛苦付出;每一次求学路上的一帆风顺、柳暗花明、峰回路转,都离不开学校和家庭的共同努力。养育一个孩子,需要整个社区的共同努力。在NACIS,这不仅是一句诗意的表达,也是NACIS对全人教育的坚持。
《学记》中说:学,然后知不足,教,然后知困。知不足,然后能自反也,知困,然后能自强也,故曰,教学相长也。教学相长是很重要的一个教育原则,这不仅适用于学校的教育,也同样适用于家庭教育。共创学习者社区,构建家校教育合力,NACIS一直在路上。
从本学期开始,每个月其中一周的周四,都将以NACIS Community活动日的方式,迎来各年级的家长,深度参与到学校对孩子们成长的规划当中,并进一步了解学生的学习方式,让学校的教育理念延展到家庭教育中。
成长之路,蝉蜕蛹变,行则将至。如果教育是家校一场美好的遇见,那么走进NACIS,便是一场教育的深度唤醒。本周四,家长们进入教室,与班主任老师们抱诚守真,共读“教育”这本书:同班主任老师一对一无界交流,携手规划孩子的成长蜕变之旅;老师也将孩子们的作业、作品向家长进行展示,让每个家长了解每一堂课堂背后的教学方法和教学逻辑,知其然,更知其所以然。
这次活动给了我们和家长深度探讨的机会,家长把自己对孩子学习的观察和发现告诉我们,作为老师,我们把自己日常的教学逻辑剖析给家长;通过这样有效的沟通和交流,我们可以更加完整地了解学生课外的状态,有针对性的调整他们之后的学习方案,家长也可以在这之后,适当放下焦虑,科学地看待孩子学习成长的轨迹。
—— Doris老师
老师们真诚和专业的态度,非常打动我们。NACIS这种透明、零距离的沟通方式,让我觉得不管是老师、家长还是孩子,在交流和沟通上是平等和无障碍的,也让我们家长可以主动卸下心防,坦诚说出自己对孩子在校学习期间的思考和反馈,老师们也很及时地给予我们回应和专业的指导意见。作为家长,我也在这样的环境里不断学习和成长。

为了让家长对孩子的在校学习情况有更透彻的了解,本次参与到NACIS Community 活动中的家长们,重回校园,化身“学生”,沉浸式地感受孩子在学校“学什么,如何学”。
中、小学部各科老师以工作坊的形式,从学科背景出发,围绕课程设置、课程评价、学习要求及班级情况,分别给各位“家长学生”们进行总结和介绍,帮助家长了解不同年级、不同科目的教学完成情况、教学内容以及教学重点,解答家长们的困惑,使家长们对NACIS 的双语教学有更深入的了解。
NACIS一直注重孩子的多元化发展,各大体育项目校队也如雨后春笋一般,在NACIS这块土壤上茁壮生长。本次NACIS Community活动,来访家长也真切感受了一次水球这一集速度、力量、技战术于一身的水上集体球类项目的魅力。正在泳池里训练的孩子们奋力打出的每一朵浪花,每一次得分,都让岸边的家长们深切体会到NACIS公羊的体育精神:在做每一件事情时都投入100%的热情与毅力,并努力成为一个坚韧勇敢的人。
NACIS最新编排的音乐剧《SpongeBob: The Musical》也迎来了首次公开彩排。随着乐队音乐的起承转合,台词配合着舒展的动作,台上的演员们渐入佳境,台下的家长们也看得兴致勃勃。有很多家长表示,自己第一次这么近距离地融入到学校丰富的表演艺术项目中,看到孩子们的投入与专注,深受打动。
NACIS大学升学指导团队近期也为10-12年级的学生和家长准备了精彩纷呈的大学分享系列活动。在本次社区活动日中,美国波士顿大学的招生官来访,为家长们带来了一场丰富的升学信息盛宴。作为毕业班的家长,在临近今年早申季的时间节点下,配合升学指导团队和掌握孩子的升学规划节奏,也成为家长们关注的了重中之重。
今天这样沉浸式的体验,让我们家长的参与度更高,见证了NACIS的孩子们和老师在学校最真实的状态。通过各学科老师的讲解,给我们展示了一个清晰和明确的教学闭环。双语教学的融合和渗透,以及各学科在课堂上怎样完成教学目标,对于如何在家里对孩子的学习进度进行把握和支持,老师们都给出了非常专业地分享。

由各年级家长组成“家长队”和NACIS公羊校队的学生们,展开了别开生面的篮球和羽毛球赛。大家在赛场上挥汗如雨,分秒必争;加油声,叫好声此起彼伏。家长们全力以赴,学生们也不甘示弱,两支跨越年龄隔阂的队伍,此刻不只有胜负输赢的快意,更有相互激励、不断超越的动力,为彼此鼓掌,互为榜样。
跟孩子们这样跨年龄、跨越父母-孩子身份的比赛,是一种不可多得的交流。我们被他们的青春活力感染,孩子们也看到我们乐观积极的精神,相信他们也会有所感触。作为家长,我们就是用爱和以身作则来守护他们的成长。
——G7 Berry同学妈妈
这次来到学校,我们深度体验了孩子日常学习的环境和氛围,看到他们与老师、同学相处的样子,让我们与孩子有了一起‘上学’的共同经历,同时也找到了更多和孩子沟通的话题。学校成为了我们与孩子沟通的桥梁,让我们作为家长有更多的参与感。
——G6 Benjamin同学爸爸
聚焦家长们关注的热点,倾听家长诉求,与家长们展开专题分享讨论,是NACIS 社区构建教育合力的重要组成。
刚踏进NACIS新生家庭与Anna校长就帮助孩子适应新的学习环境展开了一场“心灵对话”。家长们在建立孩子和对学校的归属感上,畅所欲言;Anna校长也敞开心扉,用自己多年的教学经验,帮助新生家长缓解压力。不论是在学校还是家庭中,用心倾听孩子们的喜与忧,及时地给予他们回应,让他们知道在新环境中,依然有很多人在接受他们,接受他们的好奇、紧张、不知所措 ……“其实孩子们的觉察能力很强,在家长、学生和学校三方的共同努力下, 我们都会在对彼此的了解中适应,在适应中改变,在改变中成长”Anna校长说道。
Wendy校长则给6-9年级的家长带来了一场“中学考试秘籍”分享。在中学的学习过程中,贯穿了哪些国家国家课程考试,家长和孩子应该如何看待这些考试,不同的选择会引导到什么结果,最后帮助家长和学生做出适合自己的决定。
蔡元培先生曾说到:决定孩子一生的不是学习成绩,而是健全的人格修养。孩子的成长体现着家庭和学校合力的智慧。协助家长成为孩子成长路上的良师益友,帮组家长理解学生的语言和行为背后的原因,是NACIS心育课程中不断地探索和实践。借着本次NACIS Community 活动,中学心理老师Blair为家长带来了家校协同专题工作坊,用专业的指导与建议,撑起孩子们心理健康教育的蓝天。
“美好的教育,是一群人同频共振的回响。”对教育的执着和对孩子们的爱,不是互相彼此凝望,而是把目光投往同一个方向。爱在左,责任在右,少年成长正当时,就让我们在NACIS 社区,共筑未来,一起静待花开。
There is always a wider world for us to explore during the growth of children. Every effective communication between home and school seems to be an echo from education, responding to our opinions on education and knowledge and inspiring us to focus on the issues about the development of children.
During the learning journey, children need work hard. However, the smoothness of the journey is inseparable from the joint efforts of school and home. Raising a child requires the collective efforts of the entire community. At NACIS, it is not only a poetic expression, but also a reflection of our holistic education.
COMMUNICATE FACE TO FACE
WITH CUSTOMIZED STUDY PLAN
It’s said in Xue Ji: “You'll know what you lack after learning. You’ll know what you are confused with after teaching. If you know your disadvantages, then you can be self-reflexive. You know the difficulties, and then you can strengthen yourself. Therefore, teaching is learning. It is an important educational principle, which applies not only to school education, but also to home education. NACIS is always committed to creating a learner community and building home-school education synergy.
Starting from this semester, we will hold Thursday Event once a month. Parents of all grades will be invited to participate in the NACIS community event, so that they can get involved in planning for children’s development together with school, learn more about children' s learning style and extend the school education to home education.
The road of growth is like a journey of transformation. If education is a beautiful encounter between home and school, learning at NACIS is a deep awakening of education. After the subject workshops, parents came into the classrooms and explore the topic “Education" together with the form tutors. Parents communicate with the form tutors one-on-one, and our teachers also show children's homework and works to the parents, so that each parent can understand the teaching methods and teaching logic behind each class and extend school teaching to home learning.
This event gave us the opportunity to have in-depth discussion with parents. Parents told us their observations and discoveries about their children's learning. As teachers, we analyzed our daily teaching logic to parents. Through the effective communications and exchanges, we have a more complete understanding of students’ extracurricular status, so that we can adjust the subsequent learning plans in a targeted manner. Parents can also put aside their anxiety and view their children’s learning and growth in a more scientifical way.
—— Ms. Doris, Secondary Teacher
We are touched by the sincere and professional attitude of teachers. The transparent and zero-distance communication method makes me feel that it is equal and barrier-free to communicate among teachers, parents, and students. We express our thoughts on children’s learning at school and teachers also give us responses and professional guidance. As a parent, I can also continue to learn and improve myself in such an environment.
—— G9 Fariy's Mother
COME TO SCHOOL AND HAVE AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
In order to enable parents to have a more thorough understanding of their children's learning at school, parents came to the school and got immersed in experiencing "what and how” their children learn at school.
Based on the subject background, our primary and secondary teachers introduced curriculum setting, curriculum evaluation, learning requirements and class conditions through a variety of workshops, so that Parents could understand the teaching status, teaching content and teaching focus of different grades and subjects, and have a deeper understanding of NACIS's bilingual teaching.
NACIS focuses on the diversified development of children. We have created a variety of school teams. In the NACIS community event, the visiting parents also felt the charm of the water polo sport that integrates speed, strength, techniques, and tactics. Children were training in the swimming pool, where parents could feel sportsmanship of the NACIS RAMs. They put 100% enthusiasm and passion in everything they do and strive to be tough and brave persons.
Our newly arranged musical "SpongeBob” ushered in its first public rehearsal. With the band's music, the actors on stage were performing better and better and parents off the stage were watching with great interest. Many parents said that it was the first time that they were so closely integrated into the performing arts programs, and they were deeply moved by the dedication and focus of children.
Recently, the NACIS University Guidance Team has also prepared a series of exciting university sharing sessions for students and parents for grades 10-12. In this community event, admission officers from Boston University brought parents rich information about further education. As early application season is approaching, it is the top priority for parents to cooperate with the guidance team and master the rhythm of further education planning.
The immersive experience attracted more parents to get involved in the event and witnessed the most real state of NACIS children and teachers. The subject teachers have shown us a clear map of teaching, including integration and penetration of bilingual teaching, as well as how to complete teaching objectives, and support the children's learning progress at home.
—— G3 Daniel's Mother
In the NACIS community event, the NACIS Ram team launched a unique basketball and badminton games with "Parents Team”. Everyone was sweating on the field, and they cheered for each other. Parents and students were all performing at their best. The two teams not only enjoy the pleasure of the game, but also had the motivation to inspire and surpass each other. They applauded for each other and set examples for each other.
It is a rare opportunity for parents to compete with children. We are influenced by their youthful vitality, while children are also touched by our optimistic and positive spirit. As parents, we escort their growth with love and examples.
——G7 Berry's Mother
During the event, we experienced the environment and atmosphere of children's daily learning and saw how they got along with teachers and classmates, which gave us a common experience of 'going to school' with our children and allowed us to find more topics to communicate with them. The school has become a bridge for us to communicate with children, allowing us to get more involved in their learning as parents.
——G6 Benjamin's Father
PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
BREAK ANXIETY
Ms. Anna, National Head of Secondary, had a "spiritual dialogue" with new families, so as to help new students adapt to the new learning environment. Parents spoke freely about assisting children build a sense of belonging to the school, while Ms. Anne helped parents relieve pressure with years of teaching experience. Whether at school or at home, we should listen to children's voice, respond to them in a timely manner, and let them know that we accept their curiosity, nervousness, and confusion in the new environment. Ms. Anna said: "In fact, children have strong perception. With the joint efforts of parents, students and school, we can adapt to each other through understanding each other, change ourselves through adaption, and grow up through changes."
Ms. Wendy, Deputy Head of Secondary, brought a sharing session on "Secrets of the Secondary Exams" for secondary parents. She explained which national curriculum examinations would run through the secondary learning journey, how parents and children should view these examinations, and how to make the right decisions.
Mr. Cai Yuanpei once said: “What matters in children’s life is the sound personality cultivation, rather than academic performance”. The growth of children reflects the wisdom of the efforts of home and school. NACIS is committed to helping parents become good teachers and friends on the way of children's growth, understand the reasons behind children’s language and behaviors. During the community event, Ms. Blair, our secondary psychology teacher, brought parents a special workshop on home-school collaboration and supported children's mental health education with professional guidance and advice.
"The best education is the echo of a group of people resonating at the same frequency." During children’ s learning journey, we should look in the same direction instead of looking at each other and escort children with love and responsibility. Let us build the future together in the NACIS community and wait for children to grow up and achieve success.
