Collaborative Teaching in Our Learning Communities 学习社区里的合作教学

Year 3 Learning Communities at the Yew Chung International School of Beijing are transforming the educational landscape of the school. Designed by master education space architects at FNI, the space’s unparalleled adaptability provides students with the resources to pursue learning in their own way. For teachers, the learning space not only diversifies their teaching and lesson planning options, but also gives them valuable opportunities for professional growth.

北京耀中的三年级学习社区正在改变学校的教学现状。学习社区由FNI公司的知名教育空间设计师设计，其独一无二的灵活性给孩子提供了个性化学习的资源和渠道。对老师来说，学习社区不仅使他们的教学方式更灵活更多样化，也给他们的职业发展提供了难得的机遇。

Jane Kang, a veteran Yew Chung International School of Beijing educator, shared with us how the Year 3 Learning Community improves both lesson planning and execution as well as her own teaching.

What is the impact of the LC framework on collaborative and team teaching?

学习社区对合作教学的影响是什么？

Traditionally, at the Yew Chung International School of Beijing there are two teachers and a group of students in a single classroom. It’s a very closed-off environment, with a single corridor running between classrooms. You can’t do much because of all the walls. It’s also harder to find time to talk to colleagues because of all the closed off spaces. 

耀中的传统教学模式是两位老师和一班学生在一间独立教室里上课，教室中间会有一条走廊，形成一个相对封闭的学习环境。墙壁的存在会限制师生的活动。教师之间也很难沟通交流。

In our new Learning Community, we have a large collaborative teacher space where we’re constantly talking about both long-term and short-term lesson planning, lesson feedback, ways to improve, etc. Thanks to this very open environment (with walls that can close at times if needed), we can create a lot of different groupings of students and teachers, big and small; there’s not that confined area anymore.

在学习社区里，老师可以在开放式环境中讨论长期或者短期教学计划，课程反馈，改善方式等等。多亏了这个开放式的环境（当然必要的墙壁我们还是有的），师生之间可以自由组合，再也没有墙壁的限制了。

What are the key benefits of collaborative teaching for students and teachers?

合作教学对师生会有哪些好的影响？

For students, I think access to so many different educators is the greatest benefit. Each educator will have different insights into either the lesson objectives or what the student needs. They might see something that another teacher didn’t see at a specific point in a lesson. While each student is assigned a pair of co-teachers as their primary teachers, if a different educator has clicked at a specific moment with a student to meet a certain learning objective, the student is able to learn in an even more effective way.

对学生来说，最大的好处就是能接触各种各样的老师。不同的老师对课程和学生的需求会有不同的见解。比方说，这个老师会注意另一个老师注意不到的东西。虽然学生们都有自己的中西方班主任，但是和别的老师接触也许会让孩子更有效率的学习。
