教學相長，創新無境 | 北京愛迪學校學習型組織架構搭建勢在必行

 　　近日，劍橋國際教師職業發展資格認證項目負責人研討會在北京愛迪學校教與學創新中心舉行。劍橋國際教育評估(Cambridge Assessment International Education，簡稱 CAIE)是劍橋大學的一個分支，提供包括劍橋國際教師職業發展資格認證項目(Cambridge Professional Development Qualification，簡稱PDQ)在內的一系列國際資格認證。此次研討會匯集了來自全國的40余位PDQ項目負責人，以促進劍橋國際教師職業發展培訓項目的發展。

　　我校PDQ培訓課程完全由教與學創新中心自主研發，有效融合了形成性評價、逆向課程設計、哈佛大學零點計劃和教師行動研究等內容。本著“支持每一位教師”的原則，培訓開展兩年多來，已有數十位教師通過培訓并順利拿到認證證書。在我校學術校長 Paul Keatley 的帶領和 Lydia Liu 校長的支持下，愛迪成為去年全國參與PDQ培訓教師人數最多的學校。

　　會上，我校教與學創新中心總監 Russell Hazard 發表了題為“成功開發和實施PDQ項目的思考——構建一個以學習為中心的組織”的演講，演講中 Russell 總監談到，對于一個學校來說，PDQ項目為來自不同學科的教師提供研討的平臺，促進問題的有效解決，從而改進教學實踐;教師則有機會基于已知的理論和實踐，反思職業生涯，提出改進學校實踐的想法，促進自下而上的積極變革;學生將更好地獲取教師的支持，促進學習的主動性和參與度。

　　在學習型組織中的每個人，從最高管理層到每個部門主管、團隊領導、教師和學生，都應該通過協作探究，一起進行周期性學習。學校是一個動態的組織，每一個人都應適應知識和技能的不斷變化, 成為學習型組織的一部分, 并不斷創造新的知識。這也是教與學創新中心的未來努力方向。

　　我校始終致力于師資力量的培養，這也正體現了教與學創新中心的戰略發展目標——把愛迪學校打造成為一個學習型組織，緊跟全球的教育研究，教育實踐，培養學生和教師具備世界公民的素質和能力。

　　Being a Learning Organization

　　The Aidi School Teaching, Learning, and Innovation (TLI) Center hosted the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) Professional Development Qualifications (PDQ) Programme Leader’s Workshop series in the Aidi Innovation Lab. CAIE is a branch of Cambridge University that offers a range of programs and qualifications internationally including the PDQ teacher professional development qualifications.

　　Each PDQ program, though accredited by Cambridge, is unique in its design and delivery. Using the PDQ program, the educational research team in the Aidi Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Center has developed an integrated year and a half long post-graduate training in teaching that effectively integrates the work of Project Zero from Harvard University, the Buck Institute of Education, the Understanding by Design curricular development framework, and teacher-led action research training.

　　In providing this program to all of our teachers, Aidi School seeks to support them in continually improving their capacity to support our students as well as growing their own pride in professional practice and well-being. Based on this principle of supporting every teacher, spearheaded by Headmaster Paul Keatley and supported by Principal Lydia Liu, Aidi School has become the school with the highest number of Cambridge PDQ participants in all of China last year. The PDQ Programme Leader’s workshop brought together over 40 participants from around China to enhance their understanding of the PDQ program. Experts from Cambridge led workshops over two days, supported by experienced PDQ Programme Leaders such as the Aidi TLI Center Director.

　　At the two day PDQ workshop, Russell Hazard, Director of the Aidi School Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Center, led a workshop entitled "Reflecting on successful PDQ program development and implementation: Becoming a learning-centered organization". In the workshop, Russell said that well designed PDQ programs can provide a forum for teachers from different disciplines and grades to interact and learn together, develop a whole school community for problem solving, and can be used to make research-based teaching and learning practices accessible to all teachers. However, he discussed the critical need to incorporate these goals into a broader effort for schools to become true learning organizations.

　　A learning organization is a term for an agile institution in which everyone - from the top management team, through every department head, team leader, teacher, and student - are all learning together through collaborative cycles of inquiry/research. This 21st century model of practice is revolutionary because, instead of schools being static organizations that disseminate similar knowledge year after year, schools become dynamic places in which every single person becomes used to the constantly changing nature of in-demand knowledge and skills, as well as becoming part of an institution that actually creates new knowledge. This is the model the TLI Center uses to promote excellence throughout Aidi School’s staff and students, both during teacher professional development and through student programs such as multidisciplinary Project Based Learning in the Innovation Lab.

　　Aidi School has always been committed to supporting our teachers as well as our students. This effort is reflected in the central strategic development goals of the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Center - to lead Aidi School as a learning organization that is part of the world's most advanced educational research and practice circles, and thereby help both students and teachers to reach their full potential both intellectually, emotionally, and as citizens equipped for the future.
