  身为一个繁忙学校的校长,在这样一个快节奏的学校环境中,我有大量的行政管理、教师听课与评估,课程开发与指导等工作要考虑,很难找到时间来真正了解每一个学生的发展水平。所以能够参加最近在黄山举办的,作为帮助5年级过渡到六年级课程的一部分的中国教室项目,对我来说是一个非常难得的机会。

 

  多种多样的互动活动,帮助了我更好地了解每一个学生。从制作和分享徽州菜,到采茶、加工、沏茶,再到对徽州纪念馆和文化博物馆的参观,我们都沉浸在了安徽浓浓的历史文化之中。

  迎着美丽的晨星,有着良好习惯及团队纪律性的同学们,能够在其他游客到来之前参观了建筑美丽的宏村。当我们参观黄山时,笼罩在雨雾面纱下的美丽景观,随着太阳的光芒,缓缓地展现在我们面前。伴着鸟儿的叫声,看着松鼠,猴子在山林间跳跃,呼吸着清新的空气,真实美不胜收。

  学生们非常幸运,有导游专家迈克和拥有丰富旅游经验及文化积淀的张璐璐老师、孙君芳老师的陪同。我也利用机会和学生们分享在现代技术先进的当今世界更应该尊重自然的力与美的思想。作为一名历史教师,帮助学生理解--珍惜民族的文化遗产并不仅仅是指要完全接受过去的做法,而是承认那些过去的历史文化塑造了今天的现代中国。

 

  这次旅行给我留下了许多美好的记忆,但有一个情景仍然历历在目:在生态茶园,当所有的学生围绕在一位老茶工周围,聚精会神的听他讲解如何炒茶及进一步加工的过程时,我深感自豪,他们展现出了对从一位长辈身上学习中国文化奇迹的由衷的兴趣与尊重。

  Huangshan Article

  As a busy School Principal in such a fast-paced school environment with a great deal of administration, teacher observation and appraisal, curriculum development and directing of new initiatives to consider, it can be hard to find the time to really get to know every one of our students at an individual level, so as part of Grade 5’s preparation for transition to Grade 6, it was a wonderful opportunity for me to spend quality time with many of them on the Chinese Cultural Trip to Huangshan recently.

 

  What helped me to get to know each student better was the wide variety of activities and interactions we enjoyed together, from making and sharing fantastic local Huizhou cuisine, picking tea, processing it and learning the art of making tea, to immersing ourselves in the history and culture of Anhui by visiting Memorial Arches and the Huizhou Culture Museum.

  Our early morning starts and the good habits and routines of the students were blessed by being able to visit the beautiful village of Hongcun before most of the tourists had arrived, and during our visit to Huangshan when, after suffering all morning from the rain and mist, the sun came out in the afternoon to present the most beautiful views out over the mountains and breath-taking Chinese scenery, along with visits from birds, squirrels and monkeys!

  The students were very lucky to have an expert guide in Michael as well as the highly experienced tour leadership and cultural understanding of Ms. Lulu and Ms. Sunny. I also had an opportunity to share some of my thoughts with them about respecting the power and beauty of nature in our modern technologically advanced world, and as a History teacher, helping the students to understand that valuing one’s heritage and culture does not necessarily mean accepting all the practices of the past, but acknowledging how those who went before have shaped the modern China of today and our place in it.

  I will take many happy memories of the trip away with me, but with one abiding image from the ecological tea plantation when all the students gathered around an elderly worker who showed them how to dry and process tea with such passion and long experience. The students were absolutely silent as they listened intently and watched an expert at work. I was deeply proud of the respect and interest that they showed in learning from experience and from listening to elders about some of the many wonders of Chinese culture.
