在迎接周末到來之前，北京市私立樹人瑞貝學校國際班的師生歡迎家長們到校參加家長會。今天下午一如往常，是家庭們參與學校教育、了解學生的進步與成績的良機，家長們能夠清晰認識到學生在學術和品格成長中的目標。

　　Students and teachers in the International Program ended the week by welcoming parents for a parent-teacher meeting. As always, this has been a wonderful opportunity for the families to join us and learn about the progress, accomplishments and goals in academic and character growth for the students in our program.

　　老師們強調(diào)了在學術之外，我校非常重視兩個關鍵能力的外顯性教學——團隊意識與合作能力。這些能力經(jīng)常被看作是21世紀必備的最重要的軟實力，但在傳統(tǒng)的課堂當中很少能夠得到鍛煉。有效的合作需要耐心、同理心、溝通、尊重、忍讓和良好的體育精神。我們可以通過有趣的游戲和活動來培養(yǎng)學生的此類能力。

　　Teachers have emphasized how alongside academics, we put a lot of focus on the explicit teaching of two very important skills, teamwork and cooperation. These skills are often mentioned at the top of the soft skills needed in the 21st century, but seldom practiced in the traditional classroom. Effective teamwork requires patience, empathy, communication, respect, tolerance, and good sportsmanship. A great way to get students to learn these skills is to teach them through fun games and activities.

　　在本次家長會中，家長和孩子們通過了解戴爾·奇胡利的藝術風格來學習合作的重要性。戴爾·奇胡利是一名的美國藝術家，以其高超的玻璃吹制三維雕塑技藝而聞名遐邇。他的藝術作品遍布全球，在美國、日本、英國等地的博物館和藝術館中展覽。同學們了解到，即便他遭遇不幸失去了一只眼睛，他仍然和他的玻璃吹制團隊一同創(chuàng)造了令人驚艷的藝術作品。戴爾·奇胡利被他的團隊成員稱為“Maestro”，意大利語中的“老師”以彰顯他高超的領導能力。

　　班的同學們通過為家長們做英漢口譯，展現(xiàn)出了優(yōu)異的領導能力。太棒了，Michael和Sara！

　　In class , students demonstrated great leadership by acting as translators from English to Chinese for their parents. Well done, Michael and Sara!

　　同學和家長們分組完成了奇胡利藝術任務，運用上了高效合作的小技巧：

　　- 誠實

　　- 欣賞他人的作品

　　- 快速做計劃并適應

　　- 聆聽

　　- 溝通交流
