It Takes a Community to Raise a Child 聚社区之力做好教育

This semester at Yew Chung International School of Beijing, Primary Years 4-5 students moved into their new Learning Community space on the 3rd floor of Building A. Replete with movable walls, an interactive technology zone, a bean-bag chair laden book nook, and an amphitheater-style presentation area, the new Learning Community space is able to foster the creation of capable students who not only possess a depth of knowledge but also the adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking ability to find success in the 21st century.

这学期，北京耀中国际学校四、五年级的学生移到了位于A楼3层新的学习社区。在这个全新的学习社区，到处都是可移动的墙，互动的高科技区域，布满豆子袋椅子的阅读角落，半圆剧场式的展示区域。新学习社区空间能激发学生的创意思考，使得孩子不仅拥有知识的深度，而且获得21世纪必备的适应性、创意及批判性思维。

Yet, in addition to the myriad ways that students are able to make use of their new physical space, the Learning Community is also noted for the facilitation of increased collaboration between students, between teachers, and also for offering each student the chance to engage with a greater number of teachers than in previous closed-classroom models.

另外，学生们可通过多种方式使用学习空间。学习社区以促进学生之间、老师之间的协作而著称，能为每个学生提供与多个老师密切学习的机会，而不像在传统封闭的教室里一个学生跟着一个老师学习。

The African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” applies especially well to the YCIS Beijing Learning Community model. To explain how it does so, as well as the ways that the Learning Community model provides greater differentiation of learning for students, Y5 Co-Teacher Geoffrey Ross goes into greater detail.

非洲有一句谚语所言“要聚全村的力量去抚养一个小孩”。这句话非常适用于北京耀中国际学校学习社区模式。五年级老师Geoffrey Ross将进一步和我们分享学习社区模式是如何为学生提供更多与众不同的学习。
