Reimagining Our Culture of Learning
Long Term Goal: CAIS fosters a culture of learning characterized by curiosity, agency, perseverance, and joy. Our culture supports the development of each student’s skills, abilities, and learning dispositions, so that they are able to adapt and thrive in a world that continuously presents new challenges and opportunities.
Key Strategy: We will support our students in building the skills they need to be prepared for the evolving challenges of school, work, and life. These skills include critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
Key Strategy: We will emphasize connections between learning, purpose, and meaning.
长期目标: 中美的学习文化是以好奇、动机、毅力和乐趣为基础。我们协助每个学生发展自身的学习能力与积极的学习态度,使他们能适应这个多变的世界并充分发展自我。
主要策略:我们会协助学生发展他们所需要的能力,来应对在学校、工作、和生活上的挑战。 这些能力包括批判思考、创造以及合作、沟通的能力。
主要策略:我们会强调要结合学习本身、学习的目的和学习的意义之间的关系。
Rationale: In a world where knowledge and information change and increase rapidly, coverage and assessment of a finite amount of discrete academic content will not serve our students well. In order to welcome new opportunities and challenges with confidence and skill, our students must be able to take control of their own learning, experiencing the joy and empowerment of a life in which learning is a continuous and never-ending journey. Students must be adept at assessing new situations, and with an understanding of their own strengths, challenges, and passions, choose a path forward that will help them to become their best selves and contribute to a better world.
理由:在这个多变的世界里,传统式的学习和评估将无法满足学生的需求。为了能有自信和能力迎接新的机会和挑战,我们的学生必须要能够自主学习、体验生活带给我们的喜悦和力量,并了解学习是一种持续不断且永无止境的旅程。学生必须要能了解新环境、自己的优点、挑战和爱好,这样才能选择一条成长的路,并为更美好的世界贡献自己的能力。
