近日，華美外國語學校小學部根據不同學段的學情特點，為1—6年級的家長分別召開了期中家長會。有別于傳統“老師講、家長聽”的家長會模式，本次家長會借助IB-PYP工作坊的形式，新穎別致，讓家長們感受到IB—PYP課堂的互動、交流、合作、分享學習模式，取得了良好的效果。

　　Recently, the primary department held six parents' meetings.Different from the traditional meetings "All about teachers’ talk but parents listen".This PYP workshop is novel and unique, and has achieved good results.

　　為了提高家長會的實效性和針對性，小學部精心籌備。首先，通過問卷星做了“前期評價”，問題為“本學期您孩子較大的進步”“您較想了解孩子的哪一方面”“您對學校的建議”。其次，對期中學業水平陽光評價做了詳盡的質量分析，對孩子們進行了表彰。再次，舉行了美術作品展，并展示出孩子們的各科作業。

　　In order to improve the effectiveness of the conference,all the staff carefully prepared.First of all, we made a preliminary evaluation through the questionnaire . For example,the most mentioned topic is "what is the most progress of your child in the semester", "which aspect do you want to know about your child most" and "your suggestions for the school".Secondly, teachers made a detailed quality analysis on the mid-term academic level and gives commendation to the children individually .At the same time, an art exhibition was held to show our students’ various talent, and also the children's homework was checked by parents.

　　會議一共有兩個活動，首先是家長PYP工作坊，隨后是家長共同探討較為關心的話題——“教育中的評估”。活動中，頭腦風暴、熱烈討論、作品展示、互動交流貫穿活動始終，家長們自然而然地發現了“教育中的評估”應該全面地、發展地、細致地觀察每個孩子的內在。工作坊主持人羅娟主任表示：“評估其實就是陪伴學習者”。同時，工作室主持人周亞南校長助理總結道，只有陪伴，才能對學習做出評估;只有陪伴，才能“看見”學生。

　　First, the parent PYP workshop explained what is the "Assessment in education". Then all the participants proceeded a brainstorm which led to a heated discussion and interactive communication.Accordingly parents realised that "evaluation in education" should be a comprehensive, developmental, and detailed observation for each child.

　　接下來是家長和各科教師面對面的交流環節，同樣是家長們為會議的主導，家長們提出各自較為關心的問題，各科教師針對每個孩子個性化答疑。

　　The next step is the face-to-face communication between parents and teachers of different subjects. Parents also took the lead in the meeting. They put forward their most concerned questions, the related teachers analysed personalized questions for each family.

　　陳校長、王顧問和李總監親臨家長會現場，為家長解答有關學校發展層面的疑惑。

　　Principal Jackie Chen, Counsellor Wang and Director Li joined the meeting to answer parents' questions about the development of the school.

　　家長會后，通過問卷星進行滿意度調查，并對活動復盤。

　　After the parents' meeting, a satisfaction survey was conducted through the questionnaire , and all the staff made a review and summary about this event.

　　會議，會而議之，家長是家長會的主體，由家長朋友們討論，形成決議，才能真正發揮家長的作用，家校攜手，共同前行。

　　All in all, parents should be the main roles of the meeting. The topics should be raised by all the parents then discussed in order to form the final solutions. Only in this way, we can joint the power from both sides. Let’s create a bright future for our children !
