YCIS Beijing Hosts Learning Community Summit 北京耀中举办耀中教育集团学习社区峰会

At the end of March, the Yew Chung International School of Beijing invited senior leadership, administrators, and faculty from across the global Yew Chung Education Foundation network to attend a Learning Community Summit. 

在3月底，北京耀中国际学校邀请了耀中教育集团下属全球的各分校高层领导、管理团队和老师们来参加学习社区峰会。

The event aimed to provide participants with a greater understanding and specific examples of how a Learning Community functions; as YCIS Beijing is the foundation-wide leader in the implementation of these spaces, the school was a natural choice to host the event. It was a valuable opportunity for attendees to learn just how truly different the model is from a traditional classroom model.

本活动旨在让参与者更全面和广泛地认识学习社区的功能，北京耀中是全集团在学习社区方面探索的领先者，因此会议选择在这里召开。这是一个宝贵的机会，让参与者了解传统教室模式如何真正转化成学习社区模式。

The school was most honored to welcome Dr. Betty Chan, Director of the Yew Chung Education Foundation (YCEF), to speak to the attendees. She emphasized the creativity and educational stimulation that Learning Communities help to better instill in students:

我校荣幸地邀请到耀中教育集团校监陈保琼博士在会上发言。她强调学习社区能刺激和培养学生的创新能力：

We face a very challenging world; if we model children as we have in the past, they will lose their creativity, which is so important for the future. What the future holds, even just 15 years ahead, is uncertain. It is probable that some of the professions today will no longer exist.

我们正面对一个非常具有挑战性的世界; 如果我们像过去一样塑造孩子，就会失去他们的创造力，这在未来至关重要。未来如何发展，放眼十五年，仍然存在不确定性。 今天有些职业很可能不再存在。

Creativity itself is excellent. It gives children opportunities, different environments, and different stimulations. It allows them to come up with different ideas. We want to be confident that our children, after finishing school here, will be able to go to universities with the basic foundation, set from years at YCIS and YWIES schools, to achieve success.

创意本身是非常好的。 它给孩子机会，不同的环境和不同的刺激，它允许他们想出不同的想法。 我们想相信，在这里完成学业后，我们的孩子们将从耀中和耀华学校多年的基础上到大学取得成功。
