On Friday 23 September 2022, ISA Wuhan held its first ever Open House. This is a regular event which will be organised every Friday. The campus opened its doors for its founding parents to come in and see high quality education being delivered first-hand. 

时维九月，序属三秋。爱莎武汉外籍人员子女学校于9月23日举行了开学后的第一次家长开放课堂活动。外籍子女学校将会在每周五都举行课堂开放活动，邀请家长们亲临课堂，直观感受教学质量，与孩子的任课老师和校长面对面沟通，全面掌握孩子在校的进步与成长。

01 Parents Observation Class

The Head of School, Mr. James Morris, gave a welcome speech. Then, parents observed lessons, in which their students were taught by international and Chinese teachers in a variety of subjects such as, English, Chinese, Drama among others. 

爱莎武汉外籍人员子女学校校长James Morris先生致欢迎辞，随后引领家长们深入课堂。外籍学校的孩子们第一次在父母的观察下完成上午的主班课程，包括英语课、中文课、戏剧课等。

The Homeroom open classes were an excellent opportunity for parents to get to know their child’s homeroom teachers. ‘Homeroom’ is so called as it is the group of people the student spends the most time with, such as fellow pupils and the teachers who look after their day-to-day well-being. Each Homeroom has two co-teachers, one international and one Chinese (for younger students also a Teaching and/or Learning Assistant). 

爱莎武汉外籍人员子女学校的主班课程也被称为“班主任”课程。作为与每位孩子日常相处时间最长的人，孩子们的主班老师不仅负责教授孩子们超学科的知识，同时负责全方位的人文心智关怀。学校的每节主班课都支持中英双语教学，小学学段及以上，每个班级都会至少配备两名主班老师（一名国际教师和一名中籍教师），对于幼龄阶段的孩子，还会额外配备一名助教。

These Homeroom teachers are the experts of every child in their homeroom. They are like a family to the children during the school day, whom the parents may contact should they have any specific questions about their child’s education and progress. 

爱莎武汉的主班老师们资历深厚，经验丰富，都是他们所授学龄段的学科专家。带给每一位孩子超越家庭的辅助与支持。而主班老师们，也是家长与学校沟通孩子在校表现的主要联系人，通过高效的家校沟通，让看的见的成长悄然绽放。

02 KG IB Introduction Workshop

During the IB PYP Introduction for the ISA Wuhan Early Years parents the parents learned about the IBO history and structure. Additionally, the parents were able to learn what the goal is of an IB school and how IB schools try to accomplish this goal. 

活动当天，幼儿园的家长们在IB课程普及课中，全面了解了IBO组织的历史与课程体系。幼儿时期对孩子的教育发展将在很大程度上影响孩子对学习的终生态度。通过了解IB学校的培养目标与教学方式，能更好地辅助家长延续孩子在家里的学习与探究。

03 Parents Information Session

Multiple assessments have been completed over several lessons measuring and assessing students’ English and Chinese reading, writing, speaking, and listening level. These assessments were done carefully and scientifically utilizing paper assessments, digital assessments, and observations.   

外籍学校的学生目前已经完成语言分层评估。通过老师对于学生在中英文听说读写各方面的评测与观察，学生们将在提供个性化辅助的班级中，找到适合自己的学习节奏。

During the Presentation, Dr. Jozef Macak, shared with parents about the school clubs programme and the inauguration of school teams. Sports clubs program has been designed to encourage students to reach out and fulfill their dreams and aspirations leading them on a long-term pathway of progressive talent development in sport.

在小学与中学的信息分享会中，Jozef老师还与家长们介绍了关于拓展课程与校队。学校开设类型丰富的拓展课程，希望鼓励学生勇于探索自己，不断发现助力自己成长的新技能。将于近期筹建的校园运动队致力于激发学生们的运动潜力，为学生提供更多展示自我的舞台。

04 ManageBac Training

Parents also received training in ManageBac. This is an excellent tool for parents to see what their children are studying and their progress. Curriculum information, pictures and videos can be stored there, illustrating the learning experience in a specific area for each student, to which the child’s teachers and parents may have access. 

在家校沟通系统ManageBac培训中，家长们在学科老师的带领下一步步熟悉如何使用。在ManageBac中，家长们可以实时掌握孩子的每日课表和上课内容。教师们也会在ManageBac上及时更新学生学情和评估成绩，搭建公开、透明、资源共享的家校协作平台。

05 Parent Support Group Introduction

No school can succeed without the strong support and active partnership / involvement of its parents. In addition to the tour of the boarding house, parents were invited to learn more about the Parent Support Group (PSG). The Head of School shared the ISA PSG constitution with the parents in the Grand Theatre, emphasizing the importance of positive communication, support, and constructive feedback. 

没有家长朋友们的鼎力支持和积极参与，任何学校都无法取得成功。活动当天下午，James校长在千人剧院与家长们一起举行了爱莎武汉首场家委会活动，就家委会执行委员会的组织目标、组成成员、组织架构与职责等方面进行详细介绍。爱莎武汉首届家委会成员申请也将逐步推进。
