来自北京耀中的代表包括小学校长James Sweeney，他的演讲侧重于构建学习社区:一个变革的过程，并强调了学校从单一的传统课堂教学到动态的、联系的学习社区的转变。

”The focus was on the implementation of Learning Communities across the school - how all stakeholders played their part, the successes and future plans thereof” Mr. Sweeney asserted. Having implemented Learning Communities at YCIS Beijing several years ago, “We are considered a leader in the subject and we should share our experiences with our colleagues.” he added.

“重点是在整个学校应用学习社区模式——如何让所有参与者都能在未来的成功和计划中发挥他们的作用” Sweeney先生主张道。几年前，我们在北京耀中建立了学习社区，“我们被认为是该领域的领导者，我们应该与同行分享我们的经验。”他补充道。

During their presentation some of the key points James and his colleagues shared were the Three Ts; ‘Teams, Time and Tracking. “These are the essentials in making a successful Learning Community” explained James. They elaborated on each area and how schools can implement these if they wish to introduce the concept of Learning Communities effectively.

在他们的演讲中，James和他的同事分享了三个关键点：团队、时间和追踪。James解释道:“这些是建立一个成功的学习社区的基本要素。”他们详细阐述了每一个领域，以及如果学校希望有效地引入学习社区的概念，应该如何实施。
