5 Places For Little Emperors

Laura Roark recommends five of the best spots for entertaining the kids.

Restaurants: We haven't been to a restaurant that isn't friendly to children from the western establishments to the local noodle shop. Our favourites are Canvas and Deja Vu for their excellent food and drinks. Deja Vu has a kids menu that always pleases and Canvas can put together an excellent birthday party complete with clown and cake.

Fun Learning

ne of the biggest problems in educating is engaging the student in even wanting to learn. It’s not enough to sijinyingbei (rote memorisation), children and teenagers need to be equal partners in the learning process by being made to care about what they are learning. One of the ways to do this, besides making the material easily digestible and interesting, is to have down-time from official learning that also doubles as mind-expanding exercises. Of course it’s up to everyone’s own subjective tastes what that may entail, but everything from iPad apps to good old Sudoku can keep students of all ages engaged in a creative, stimulating – and most importantly – fun activity as a break from official learn ing. Starting in the wide world of apps for mobiles and tablet devices, there are word games, virtual frog dissections and – believe it or not – even games that make learning fractions fun. The iTunes Store even has different categories to search under

myredstar.com

after you choose Education in their App Store for History, ESL, Chemistry, Life Science and Maths. For older students, asides from the typical games that keep your mind alert and help with eye-hand coordination (basically every stereotypical “guy” game: first-person shooters and sport games like FIFA 2013) there are podcasts and audio-books to listen to while exercising or commuting and app games that are a bit more advanced than Words With Friends and Draw Something. A couple of these are QatQi and Flow Free. QatQi, pronounced like “catkey,” is a free word game app that is both interactive (but not cheater-friendly, thank goodness) and innovative. With up to 7 levels of diffi culty over a calendar year that can become unlocked, and a map that you have to discover gold coins within while laying down letter tiles to form words, it’s essentially a more solo, strategic version of Scrabble. If connected to the internet, all your statistics from each game are compiled and compared to other users

within every conceivable geographic area. Bragging rights and expanding your vocabulary, sounds like a win-win to me! Flow Free is another free game app that is more geared towards helping visual, spatial and cognitive intelligence. The puzzle game has you connect one coloured dot to its counterpart across the grid, but without overlapping another’s path. Deceptively easy at first, the game gets harder as it goes from 5 rows by 5 columns all the way up to 14 by 14! Like QatQi, there is an undo button, but you only have so many free undos so in order to keep the games challenging – and free – it helps to avoid them as much as possible as you mull over your options. So yes, contrary to education stereotypes in China, you can think and play at the same time! Often, the off-time fun learning helps reinforce the on-time official learning more than any amount of studying followed by sleeping in library Chinese-style could ever do. Play away!

Develop classroom routines and be consistent with them.

Develop a system where students are accountable to manage themselves - and build this into everything you teach.

Shilaoren Beach: A large expanse of sand and plenty of space to run around. Grilled seafood at the street stalls, buckets and shovels for sale if you forget yours, tents to rent if you get too hot and decent restroom facilities. Not to mention the new Hyatt there has a great buffet and the boardwalk starts here.

Deja Vu

Sculpture Park: Bring the bike, rollerblades or scooter and blaze the boardwalk or observe or catch sea life left behind in little pools at low tide. Take your cue from the locals and bring a couple of lawn chairs and a cooler of beer in the late afternoon for a fantastic way to end the day.

Zhongshan Park: Lots to do and explore in the park. The Qingdao Zoo is here too. Picnic, fly kites, or just people watch. You can visit this park several times and still find something new and exciting with each trip.

Six Tips for Controlling Unruly Classes

The International Marina: Plenty to see and do for all ages from renting a boat to taking a ride in a horse drawn carriage to just watching the action. Nearby Marina City has an excellent fountain to cool you off on a hot day. Lots of restaurants nearby to enjoy delicious local or western foods. You can even go ice skating in the basement level of Marina City.

Make the class schedule very clear and include breaks that the students can work towards. If their behaviour is appropriate, they will receive breaks - but give them achievable goals.

Allow them freedom to move around a bit during class or listen to some kind of music. Build this into the routines too - kids need the kinaesthetic aspect.

Follow through with behavioural problems or rewards. Always be consistent and don’t use empty promises or fail to follow through.

Build a friendly rapport in class, but always be willing to take the reins when needed. Brandon Smith is a Mathematics teacher and visionary

This is a good way to get an introduction to theory, but ignores the development of creativity and critical thinking – the vital challenge to theory that allows us to reflect on our beliefs and defend them. Modern international education is more open and tolerant; it emphasises meeting individual needs, depth of understanding rather than coverage, fostering student independence, encouraging the questioning of long-standing assumptions, and the acquisition of hands-on experience. The debate between which of these two educational methods is more beneficial is ongoing, and may well be settled by our changing world, with neither side truly satisfied.

ver the past few years, a friend of mine has been considering the best time to send her son to study abroad. After a lot of consulting and consideration, she has decided to wait until after he finishes middle school. Actually, my friend is just one among many Chinese parents torn between the option of leaving China for an international education, and staying in a more familiar, traditional learning environment. On the one hand, these parents are concerned that the international mode, which is really an English-dominated ‘western’ mode, is not as good at laying a solid foundation during the early years of education. On the other, they have come to understand the disadvantages of traditional education and thus prefer their children to be educated in an open, diverse, student-centred learning environment for which

western-style international education is renowned. They hope to find a ‘middle way’; a balanced teaching approach would best serve their children. What could this middle way be? Traditional Chinese education is focused on passing along knowledge rather than fostering student capabilities. Therefore, teachers often play a dominant role in the classroom while the student’s job is to passively receive. I myself used to teach at a Chinese public middle school. Most of my colleagues expected their students to do nothing but study and memorise everything in textbooks. They were hoping students would be able to grasp all the knowledge that has been created in human history within such a short space of time. Students cultivated in this environment tend to constrain their thinking within a certain

In my own life, I have drawn a number of conclusions about the benefits I have enjoyed from both Chinese and international education. Students at international schools lag behind their Chinese peers in mastering theoretical knowledge. A traditional discipline is fast fading from western style education, favouring instead the fostering of intrinsic motivation. Whilst this student-led motivation is inspiring, it can often take a lot longer than the more traditional discipline based on punishment and loss of face, especially for younger children who are struggling to conceptualise such inspiration. More and more Chinese educators are trying to fuse the two different ways to find their own middle road, but this has had only varying success. One example is that many middle schools in China’s big cities have started introducing international

However, in this version of the middle way there are many obstacles to a deeper understanding of the Western paradigm as the teachers have little knowledge of it – other than that contained in books. These programmes are further inhibited by classroom and school makeup which is very far from that which would be acceptable in international schools, which are private fee-paying institutions with lots of resources, professional development, and small class sizes. Public schools in China have no such luxuries. However, there are definite benefits to the student-led approach in Chinese schools as it encourages classroom interaction, stimulates children’s interest, and helps to foster their sense of equality and democracy – even if the situation within the classroom is not as conducive to this approach as it could be. International education shifts the focus from the teaching of factual knowledge to the development of student capabilities. What students are taught at school should be beyond facts

and theories; they should also learn how to research, to discover, to analyse and solve problems. Students address the goal of education, to understanding how we learn and develop an ethical framework for character, instead of learning facts alone. However, in an entirely occidental learning environment challenges facing weaker students, who might benefit from the Chinese educational system, are often not met. Students fall through the cracks; perhaps able to discuss some aspects of complex thought in class, but falling down on application due to the lack of a rigorous background in mathematics, or the inability to achieve a goal because of a tendency to argue at every stage rather than get the job done. Chinese philosophy advocates absolute submission to authority and teachers. Such a background in respect and obedience to authority can be a more stable base for building a structure that prizes the ability to question, to critically think, to be creative and independent. A middle way is certainly the path I will choose for my children. My choice, as with

so many of my generation, is how to implement this plan to include the best of both worlds. The dominance of English as a world language, and the pre-eminence of so many US universities, means that for the foreseeable future Chinese parents will find this middle way in America; having their children study abroad after they have a grounding in Chinese traditional education. Education is not only about developing students with good academic records, but also qualified citizens who adapt well to modern society. The demands of 21st Century China, to which most successful Chinese students with an international education will return, is such that being this bridge between both cultures and possessing the advantages of both is the only way to finally prosper. In Chinese “China” is “Zhongguo” – the Middle Kingdom. So it seems that the future of the children of the Middle Kingdom depends on taking the middle way to reach the top.

With Many Tongues Michael Holt says that speaking a second language has tremendous benefits that go beyond merely being able to communicate abroad.

TRENDS

story in the Bible tells that at one time all people spoke the same language, and in the land of Sinai people came together to build a huge city and tower they called Babel. God saw this and thought that if all people spoke just one language, they would become too powerful. Thus, He decided to scatter the people across the earth and confuse their languages and forever afterwards, people have not spoken the same languages with each other. This is probably not really what happened, but it’s interesting to think about the power of groups that can communicate with each other easily – or perhaps it’s better to consider the opposite: how powerless groups are when they cannot communicate with each other? When Europeans started coming to China in their sailing ships, looking for trade and business, Chinese people called English the ‘bird’s language,’ so unnatural it seemed to Chinese ears. At the same time, Europeans looked at Chinese writing and were totally confused. But as more European ships arrived looking for business, many canny Chinese people realised the usefulness of being the communicators in the middle. The world has so many languages and in all cases, they are not just there for expressing information, but also to help frame concepts, to express identity, to reflect bonds within and between communities. They are also a way to exclude outsiders and the many dialects of China reflect old rivalries between different cities and regions. There are around 200 countries

myredstar.com

in the world, and in many cases, just like China, they have many different languages in each. There are even languages that use only whistling sounds, or tongue-clicking! But all languages express local values, local lifestyles and culture. We’ve heard that the Eskimos have 20 different words for ‘snow’ and that some romantic languages have many different words just for ‘love’. In modern times, the world has changed dramatically, and especially in China. Opportunities for young Chinese people are very different to 10 or 20 years ago, and as the economy grows and as the quality of Chinese lives improve across the whole country, there will be increasing engagement with people, communities and companies from all around the world. This is wonderful because we can start to imagine a future where people work together in groups regardless of where they come from. These may be academic or scientific groups, social and cultural, artistic, sporting and creative – as well as business groups of course. But what about language? What language shall we speak together? And if we choose any one language, does that limit our concepts and ideas? If we choose just one language, does that mean it is a ‘better’ language than the others? How shall we learn language and why? What effect does knowing other languages have on our life and should we choose just the popular ones? As the world moves ever faster, parents naturally push their children to learn useful work skills so they’ll have good jobs

and incomes and a secure financial position in the future. But we live in a world that changes ever faster; how will our lives be in 20 or 30 years time and how will language affect that? If we don’t speak several languages, will we be left behind? Of course, there is not just the language of human speech – there is also the language of technology, of software, of international finance, of trade. So when we think of language, we should be thinking of how we will engage with the world, with our future lives. So what are the direct personal benefits of learning another language? In simple terms, speaking another language opens doors – to better jobs, to new skills and places, to new friends: to the world. Speaking another language means understanding how people in that language think – and that means more international understanding: less conflict, more peace. How nice it would be if all the world’s leaders could speak more than just their own language. We might not need so many armies and weapons! In academia, many universities around the world collaborate on academic projects, whether engineering and science, archaeological, creative, medical research and so on. In your field, if you can communicate, you may be invited to work on exciting, leading edge international research projects. Also, if you’d like to study abroad, of course you need that language skill. The foreign school or university will

require that you pass an exam to demonstrate your language ability. In some cases you need to do that exam here in China, or some institutions will allow you to pass the exam there, but in both cases you cannot start your programme without the required level. In business, many international companies are coming to China, and they all want people who can speak languages. Of course English is the most common, but many companies come here from Germany, France, Spain as well as other countries from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and from Central/South America. People who can speak another language receive higher salaries, better promotions and a stronger business career. When traveling, to be honest, you can’t do much at all if you speak only Chinese, unless you are on a package tour. If you want to explore your world, a little piece at a time, you need another language. English is the most widespread, but also French and Spanish is common in many countries, as well as Arabic throughout North Africa and the Middle East. Russian is also spoken through Eastern and Central Europe. International Friends: the world is learning more about China now, and many people are curious. You can see more foreigners walking around the streets in your city, and even older Chinese people comment about this. But also, more Chinese people are walking on foreign streets and this is wonderful. More understanding of the world means more peace and less chance of war. So we all have a responsibility to help this process. How can we fight someone if we actually understand and like them?

Understanding bio-rhythms to

learning another language helps us gain more understanding of the world, which means more peace and less chance of war. Many of you reading this will already have studied English at school, and you will know it’s not easy. But learning a language is really more like learning a skill, and not really an academic study. You should not think of it as an academic exercise, and more like learning how to cook, or play a musical instrument – the most important thing is practice! If you know a few words, use them, and then add a few words more each day. If you do not know any foreigners to practice with, you can practice with your friends. Make a promise to only speak that language with your friends for 15 minutes each day. You can join a club or group that only uses that language. You can watch TV or movies (no subtitles!) and watch the mouths of the people as they speak. There are also many free websites that allow practice for listening and writing. Of course it is not easy. But everything good is a little difficult and, in the case of language, the skill never goes away. You can

have this language and all its benefits forever! Another point – once you have learned one foreign language, the next one is easier. China is going through so much change now, and the opportunities that you will face in your future are going to be many, and very exciting. But if you cannot speak another language, then you cannot really understand the world and perhaps, cannot even join it outside of your own community. So, take up your books, join a study group, make some international friends, watch some international movies and learn a few new words each day. Don’t study too hard, but do practise regularly. Over time, you’ll learn that language and then the doors of the whole world will be open to you.

earing this comment by Lynne McTaggart, author / researcher / lecturer, in the documentary “I Am” which portrays both what’s wrong with the world and what’s right with it, I couldn’t help feeling positive that my profession (Traditional Chinese Medicine) might finally begin to gain scientific credibility as a system of therapies that has been enriching and saving lives for thousands of years in east Asia. According to TCM principles, our body operates in two hour blocks. For example, between 9 and 11 am our qi and blood flow are energising and nourishing our spleen, then move into the heart during the 120 minutes between 11 am and 1 pm. This allows us to achieve peak performance in specific mental, emotional and physical faculties during specific parts of the day. When our spleen is at its peak our mental faculties are at their strongest and we can power through the most difficult tasks of the day; when our heart is peaking so too is our capacity to create joy both within and around us. It turns out that our physiological functions including blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and hormones do indeed wax and wane in 90 120 minute cycles. And in fact, our concentration does peak at mid-morning. Dr. Ernest Lawrence Rossi, a psychology researcher was the first to introduce these cycles as ultradian rhythms. Ultradian rhythms control our capacity to concentrate at school, remember new information, conceptualise new

TRENDS ideas and keep stress at bay. This means our concentration, memory, creativity, and energy are waxing and waning in 90 - 120 minute cycles every day. In other words, our productivity potential rises and falls over the course of a day - and does so in a predictable manner. This is not a weakness of human physiology. Instead, it’s a normal and natural phenomenon that both students and teachers can harness for better results during the schoolday. Every day we make a choice - we either behave in accordance with, or against our biorhythms. With a better understanding of the ebbs and flows of biorhythms, you can teach your students to make this choice consciously. In fact, we can reap productivity benefits every hour by simply planning our day in accordance with our natural shifts in energy - whether we operate from a TCM perspective or a scientific perspective. In our competitive societies we are encouraged from a young age to be outstanding amongst our peers, to run the fastest on the track, to get the best grades, be the most creative artist, the most innovative entrepreneur... This pushes us to be creative, productive, smart, fast and strong consistently throughout our waking hours. While there’s nothing wrong with striving for achievement, unfortunately, sometimes in our rush to be the best, we think that needing rest is a sign of weakness and end up pushing ourselves beyond our

manic or selfish way, become irritated and angry easily, feel tense, or act hostile towards peers, teachers or parents, this can be a sign of that they’ve become misaligned with their ultradian rhythms.

In contrast, Dr. Rossi found that a 20 minute rest every 90 - 120 minutes is a biological requirement. Our mind and body will even send us SOS signals when it needs a break in physical and mental activity. As Dr Rossi puts it, “Stress is nature’s signal that we are getting too high on our stress hormones and be need to take a healing break.” If we acknowledge these warning signs and make the effort to restore our physical and mental energy, we can unlock huge benefits for our next 90 120 minute productivity block.

This is called ultradian stress syndrome and we can prevent it by implementing daily schedules that centre on 90 - 120 minutes of productivity alternated with 20 minutes of energy restoring activities such as listening to meditative music, progressive muscle relaxation, or powernapping.

That’s not to say ignoring these signals once in a while is dangerous in itself. Teachers, students and parents all know what it’s like to have a big assignment or looming deadline. By the time we’ve graduated from high school, most of us have experienced the occasional coffee+sugarfueled all-nighter cramming for an exam or finishing a major assignment. The truth is ultradian rhythms can be flexible and adapt to external demands. But every time we do this, we’re trading in health for stress. From a TCM perspective we’re using up all our energising qi and nourishing blood, without giving them a chance to replenish fully before launching ourselves into the next big task. When students lack energy, are lazy and sleepy, act in a

While stimulants like caffeine, energy drinks and sugar can push us through an all-nighter, they’re only masking the symptoms of a serious energy deficiency, much like how painkillers will make our brain forget that our leg is still broken and needs healing. Missing an ultradian break increases our chance of making errors and having accidents. And if we continuously ignore these signs of overwork, fatigue and chronic stress, eventually, chronic fatigue syndrome or clinical depression could set in. In the worst, most chronic cases, physical, mental and emotional burnout seriously restrict our capacity for both good health and academic success. Alternatively, you can have your students actively tap into what Dr. Rossi calls the ultradian healing response, recharging their energy 3 or 4 times over the schoolday in order to sustainably achieve their best at any given time. In order to activate the ultradian healing response, we first need to recognise when

ultradian rhythm stress is beginning to occur. Warning signs include: • Losing concentration, focus and interest in the task at hand. • Fidgeting. • Feeling restless and irritable. • Yawning and stretching. • Daydreaming. • Tired eyes, headaches, tension. • Mindlessly procrastinating. • Making careless spelling, typing, or counting mistakes. • Forgetting things that happened only a few hours ago. • Feeling the need to snack. There are many relaxing activities we can choose from which allow us to shift physical and mental energy into a restorative state: • Eat a healthy snack. • Listen to meditative music. • Do a progressive muscle relaxation activity. • Have a powernap. • Go for a short, relaxing walk. • Practise abdominal breathing. • Meditate. Lunchtime is a special restorative time which refuels us for the afternoon. It’s important to recognise that it takes time for our body to harvest nutrients from our lunch into usable energy. Concentration is low after lunch, so it’s best not to schedule taxing (both mentally and physically) tasks immediately after lunch. This applies for everyone including

teachers and students. Another special time is 9 11am. I mentioned earlier that this period is when our mental faculties peak. It’s also when we are at our least emotionally reactive so it can be an ideal time to schedule student counselling sessions or tackle sensitive disciplinary issues. Students will be more likely to respond to your guidance and discuss emotionally charged topics with more calm than at any other time of the day. As a teacher it’s important to find time between 5 and 7pm to switch off. Work hard on letting go of the stresses from your long day of teaching. Hang out with friends, decompress. Once you’ve disengaged from any negativity that may have built up over the day, you might even find that you can start to see the lighter side of something that frustrated you at the time. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many (often simple) things that we can do to get the most out of our day and ourselves - without burning out. Today I ask you to take a leap of faith in the ideas I’ve presented to you - plan your next 5 school days by alternating 90 - 120 minute productivity blocks with 20 minute restorative blocks. I’m sure you’ll be rewarded with 5 great days for both yourself and your students. Find out more at thehutong.com.

They provide a model of acceptance of perspectives, attitudes and beliefs from both traditions and cultures. The Western and Chinese teachers play a vital role in the children’s lives in enabling them to incorporate the attitudes and behaviours that go with respect-

ing differences and with treating all equally and fairly. The teachers encourage the child’s home language to continue to be supported while English and Chinese become the languages developed at school. YCIS is a school network for foreign children in Mainland China and Hong Kong; welcoming students from all continents. A selection of students has been asked about their self-evolvement and reflection during their time at YCIS.

How has your YCIS school life developed you? I can feel that my mind flows more freely and I feel very comfortable with English too. The school atmosphere has helped me make new friends; I can quickly make the first contact with new people, conduct myself with confidence and it has really enabled me to communicate freely. As you went to Chinese IGCSE exam, how confident were you? I have been studying Chinese for some time so I feel quite comfortable but as I prepared for the Oral Test – I found I became nervous so I kept practicing with friends. There are three different exams to take; Oral, Writing and Reading. What message would you like to give to your teachers? I would like to say thank you to my teachers and especially Wang Laoshi who was my IGCSE Chinese teacher – she gets a special mention as she helped me to present my thoughts in Chinese language plus how to prepare for the exams.

Christine, hailing from

Swedish and Chinese parents, there was a deep sense of importance in maintaining the world’s two strong languages English and Chinese to a high level with Swedish being a third language maintained with family members.

When you joined YCIS in 2007 what differences did you notice compared to your previous school? It felt more welcoming and I noticed immediately more attention on Chinese with more of a sense of fun in learning. You have always studied Chinese as a First Language and English as a First Language at YCIS; tell me how this has affected your overall development? For some people if they can’t speak a language so well, it may take time to reach but I had a good start at YCIS and feel strong now in both. This gives me more opportunities to lead or to take acting roles. I feel have not missed out on anything.

Do you have preferred ways of using your bi-lingual skills? Sometimes when I go out, I could speaking with mum in English and others around me wonder if I can understand them – I like to surprise then and I speak in fluent Chinese! Reading and writing so fluidly in both major languages, how do you manage this? Well, English came first for me and the alphabet is easy, sounding and spelling words out. But with Chinese you have to learn a complete character, there are lots to learn but once you know you can add to a character to build a related word it becomes easier and interesting. You quickly widen what you know and build that way, it’s a different style of learning. It is always a challenge to enter an environment where the sights, scents and sounds are alien, regardless of your age and experience.

As an old hand in one Qingdao’s newest international Schools, Malvern College, Robert Staples thinks about what teachers, and parents, should look for when deciding on a school.

Therefore, making time to talk to existing staff about not only how the school runs and how decisions are made but also their perspectives of China is a worthwhile investment of time. Just as there are staffrooms of sino-philes, there are others who live quite happily within one hundred per cent Englishspeaking communities. The extent of staff awareness or interaction with the local Chinese community will offer a guide to the school’s ability to meet the lifestyle or educational expectations of prospective teachers, parents or students.

xpat and Chinese families alike dwell long and hard on their own personal selection criteria for schooling options. Similarly, teachers move themselves and their families around the world to work in China, and in addition to personal and career considerations there are many factors education professionals consider in selecting a school. It is a tautology to state that happy, satisfied teachers contribute more to creating a positive environment for students; for parents, anticipating a teacher’s perspective of satisfaction or a school’s potential pitfalls can be a useful addition to their repertoire of measures of a school’s desirability. Almost all schools outside the state sector are fee-paying and run as commercial entities, both because their local owners wish to run them as for-profit enterprises and because surplus income is re-directed to the school’s Western education partners. China’s rules on land use, foreign ownership of commercial ventures and education stewardship make it likely that most schools will be owned and managed by a combination of an education management partner, a commercial management partner and a land owner.

Whilst two or, occasionally, all of these roles may be played by the same party, understanding who owns and runs the school is a vital first step for prospective employees and parents alike before asking any further questions about the school. Likewise, an understanding of the financial backing behind a school offers an insight to its financial security and sustainability, particularly in a start-up school. Schools have been known to literally vanish overnight taking tuition fees with them and leaving students and staff shaken and stranded. Irrespective of the balance of the ownership roles, all reputable schools should be happy to produce an education registration document and a license to employ foreign staff from the local authorities. For teachers it is prudent to request copies of both when discussing a contract. It is a myth that such documentation cannot be obtained prior to a new school’s opening, and if either license is missing, the legality of international staff’s employment and the future viability of the school must be highly questionable. It has been known for education licenses to be ‘loaned’ between schools and for parents and teachers alike it is advisable to

carefully verify that any contractual agreements they sign are with the licensed registered entity. There are cases of schools issuing contracts on behalf of non-existent legal entities leaving the vagaries of civil action as the only recourse in case of any dispute. Many schools are perfectly legitimate, but doing your homework on the legalities can avoid angst at a later date. An experienced education team hired from offshore may look impressive on paper, but they may be rendered impotent unless they have the skills and wherewithal to adapt to working in another culture. Working in a Western nation’s state education system is a world away from a commercial educational environment in China, and a collection of impressive educational CV’s is no guarantee of the delivery of a good education. A faculty with little or no experience of international education is likely to meet significant challenges of cultural adaptation, and there are many tales of naïve Western headteachers being manipulated to the detriment of their staff and students before they have understood the ground rules of negotiating and decision-making in schools in China. A teaching staff incorporating a blend of educational backgrounds and a

Good schools allow teachers to concentrate on creating the most supportive and rewarding environment possible for their students. Schools with clear divisions of academic and commercial responsibility are likely to allow teachers to focus on positive educational outcomes. Schools in which educational experience cannot be adapted to the local context can rapidly become frustrating workplaces for foreign headteachers and teachers. A common problem in China arises when local commercial backers with no education expertise intervene in day-to-day operations of the school and engender an environment in which commercial imperative dominates educational priorities. In such schools, the educational input of international educators is minimised, internal conflict is frequent and international headteachers in particular can frequently be reduced to little more than ornamental window dressing. In schools where this occurs, student welfare, quality

of education and staff satisfaction invariably become secon ary considerations. In addition to taking time to speak to current staff and parents about a school’s workings, another sign of the working patterns of the school are observations on who has the final decision on staff and student recruitment. If the local owner is doing any more than just rubber-stamping a headteacher’s decisions about staff or student recruitment, it is almost certain that the owner regularly intervenes in school decision-making. Such intervention is not necessarily negative, but prospective parents and teachers should always be asking who runs the school and how much educational expertise and consideration is being directed towards making consistent academic and pastoral management decisions. One reasonable indicator of a stable unified school working in its students’ interests is a low level of staff turnover and the length of service of existing teachers. One of the first questions for new teachers will concern the length of contract. Some Chinese schools will offer teachers 11-month contracts with the invitation to renegotiate a contract for subsequent years in which the ‘bonus’ of a summer holiday is offered. High staff turnover frequently ensues, and a prospective parent may learn much from a pass-

ing enquiry about the length of teacher contracts. In stable schools teacher contracts typically last 2-5 years. Many international schools in China rightly publicize the breadth of their extra-curricular or co-curricular education and the top-class facilities on offer to students. Many schools offer Chinese and English language programmes and deliver outstanding academic results. All of these are attractive to staff and students. However, a cautionary word is needed about such publicity material. Swimming pools that do not hold water are not unheard of in Chinese schools and are a

TRENDS metaphor for the unavailability of sports, IT, auditorium and many other resources on shared campuses where the facilities are little more than a mirage beyond the school’s control. A similar word of caution concerns asking a little more about the ‘star’ students who are used to promote schools’ academic performance. Much as teachers smile at a class of stellar students and parents hope their children can be among the academically successful, only the most selective schools have whole classes of academic high performers. The old adage of talented students succeeding despite rather than because of their teachers often holds and far more meaningful indicators of academic norms within a school can be gleaned from average results and the number of students not entered to sit exams. Many schools underestimate the investment of time and teaching resources required to set up meaningful second language programmes. A school with Chinese students and Chinese administrators using Chinese for day-to-day transactions is less likely to offer the benefits of an English immersion environment for students. If you want your child’s Chinese to flourish it is ideal. Conversely, four or five hours a week of Chinese in an English-language school isn’t going to make a beginner fluent in Chinese. For the teacher, students’ competence in the language of tuition is a huge factor in the ability to cover curriculum content. While younger children often adapt more quickly than their older counterparts, teenagers new to studying through a second language

TRENDS Less rigorous schools simply invite teachers to make up whatever they want to teach without any thought to continuity or progression through the school. Frequent corollaries to this practice are fabricated assessment results or sham testing in which students are schooled in the questions and answers before any test. It is not an uncommon practice in some schools in China for teachers to arrange meetings with parents in anticipation of receiving a financial ‘gift’ for their ‘help’. require tailored programmes of academic language support in order to thrive. In schools which are unable to provide meaningful second language support, teaching and learning becomes significantly more demanding and frustrating. In contrast, some schools offer individualised in-class language support. Consider the availability of resources, academic norms and the quality of language support and as a final linguistic consideration, the administration language of the school. International schools in China follow a variety of curricula from all over the world and in high school all manner of examination and university entrance paths are available to students. There are many opportunities for able multilingual children to enjoy discovering their own paths to successful learning. However, parents and teachers would do well to request details of the curriculum and syllabi being taught in a school.

Whilst external assessment and accreditation offer some insurance against a lack of integrity, many Chinese-managed schools adapt an intensive approach to preparing for externally moderated examinations in which any breadth of learning becomes subsumed by repeated exam practice and memorisation drills. Of course, a great many schools strive to combine integrity, excellence and holistic learning, but it is a wise teacher or parent who quizzes a school on its assessment practices and priorities. China has an ever-increasing number of high calibre international schooling options and different solutions will meet the requirements of different parents. By asking just a few of the questions that teachers may ask, parents increase the likelihood of gaining the best possible understanding of a school and making the best educational choice for their children.

Go West WITH MORE CHINESE STUDENTS CHOOSING TO STUDY ABROAD THAN EVER, TIM LYDDIATT EXPLORES THE ADVANTAGES AND PITFALLS OF TAKING A COURSE OVERSEAS.

ore and more Chinese nationals are opting to complete their studies in places like the UK, the US or Australia and, increasingly, universities in those countries are becoming more and more reliant on their fees in order to meet their funding targets in the face of a global economic slowdown. Indeed, Ministry of Education figures for the 2009 to 2010 academic year (the last year for which figures are available) revealed that, “a total of

229,300 Chinese students were being educated abroad, up 30 percent from the previous year.” Around the same time, the BBC noted that China has now overtaken India to become the largest single group of overseas students. These statements represent a sea of change in the way in which Chinese students are educated, and in how China will operate once all these students have graduated and returned home, if they choose to come home at all.

James Huang is a Briton, born to Chinese parents in Liverpool in the north west of England. Though he carries a British passport, and currently lives and works there, he has also lived and worked in China. On his blog, he charts the ups and downs of existing between two places. I spoke to him on the subject of Chinese studying abroad, something he has written extensively about. Asked whether or not he would recommend that students make the trip - and their parents absorb

myredstar.com

TRENDS the expense - he told us: “in a word, yes!” But warns that “there are pitfalls too.” He says that studying abroad can help differentiate students from the millions that graduate each year from Chinese universities at a time where many fail to find work. “It is hard to get ahead when all the graduates are very good,” he says, a sentiment is echoed by Peng Xizhe, dean of Social Development and Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai, who told the New York Times, “China has really improved the quality of its work force, but on the other hand competition has never been more serious.” Studying overseas, says Huang, gives students much better odds of a receiving their degrees from an internationally recognised centre of excellence, as only a tiny minority of Mainland Chinese universities “are ranked in the top 500 globally. Foreign universities welcome Chinese students (and their money) with open arms.” He says too that Chinese are brilliant students, another reason they are welcomed by the world’s top universities. “It’s simply part of Chinese culture. This work ethic has been passed onto Chinese children [and] in Britain; Chinese score the best out of all the other ethnic groups.” Finally, he says that studying abroad makes it easy to improve your English too [and that experience of international culture] “is becoming more and more important in today’s globalised economy.” These observations mirror the expectations of students that I spoke to in preparation of this article. When Faya was study-

myredstar.com

TRENDS ing her final year of A levels (the qualifications needed for UK university entrance) at Qingdao’s Oxford International College (now the Confucius Institute), she told me that she wants to study chemical engineering in the UK, “at UCL or Imperial College.” Despite these heady scientific aspirations (she took maths and chemistry but also drama, a course that is not widely available in China) she is not solely focussing, for now, on equations and formulae. “I think my personality is best suited to studying abroad as Chinese universities are too constrict-

I’ll be friends with people who interest me; I don’t care where they come from ing. I would also have to spend an extra year graduating.” For Faya then, experience and culture are as important to experience than the cold hard number crunching that are degree will demand of her. For Tong, another drama student, her reasons for studying abroad are even more entrenched in the world away from the Chinese version of strict academia. “I am going to take film studies, and the best courses are only available abroad.” She says she wants to make movies after graduation and do that, “I must get work experience overseas.”

Work experience is a common refrain from all those I have spoken to in preparing this article. It is, along with mastering English and the quality and type of education available overseas, the main reason people are choosing to travel for their education. It is another way in which to attain Huang’s “differentiation.” Tong says that to work on film in the UK will open doors to working elsewhere in the world, “and with that I will be able to come back to China and be taken seriously about making movies here.” Asked how long they planned to remain in the UK, both Tong and Faya told me that “after a couple of years post graduation” they envisage returning home. This last leads us, inevitably, to some of the pitfalls that studying abroad can steer students towards. Huang says that aside from the cost (and it can be eye wateringly expensive to study abroad: course fees keep on rising, and the cost of living in the UK or the US can be much, much higher than at home) he says that “unfortunately, studying abroad is no guarantee of getting a good job abroad” and many are forced to return home and go up against the millions that have graduated there. He warns too of the culture shock: however westernised Chinese students think they are, they will very often come across cultural barriers that prevent their integration. “It’s hard to over emphasise how different Eastern and Western cultures are and Chinese students often form their own exclusive groups - eating, studying and playing together.” I asked Tong and Faya about this and both were confident

that they would mix with all types of students, or at least try. Faya said: “I’ll be friends with people who interest me; I don’t care where they come from.” Tong agreed: “the students on my course will all share a passion for film that crosses national barriers.” Huang warns however that if “Chinese students don’t break out of their own groups then they lose many of the opportunities and benefits of living abroad and in some instances English fluency digresses because of a lack of practice.” Indeed, an IELTS examiner I spoke to explained that all overseas students can struggle because of the specialised vocabulary particular to each subject, which is why universities ask prospective students to prove their vocabulary level. IELTS is an English fluency grading system required for entry into UK universities - many courses require a score over 6.5. In addition, most learning is done via lectures, demanding that students listen, write and comprehend at the same time, which is one of the hardest skills for non-native speakers of any language. On the face of it, studying abroad looks like a win-win for all those that can afford to do so. It provides students with an experience that goes far deeper than simply the specialist knowledge they will imbibe through three hard years of study, offering them the opportunity to master English, whilst simultaneously immersing them in a more fully globalised international culture. For some however, particularly in subjects popular with Chinese students:

the sciences, engineering of all stripes and maths, they run the risk of remaining with one foot remaining at home. Whilst no one is suggesting that they would be wrong to cling on their

culture, would it not be a considerable lost opportunity to not have a look at what the wider world has to offer, especially given that it cost so much to send you there?

TAKE THE PLUNGE Emma Drynan, MD at Australian Immigration experts, Freedom Immigration, says that planning is key when arranging the necessary paperwork to study abroad. Here, she shares her wisdom. Get clear about what you want to achieve from your study abroad: It’s your call what do you want to do: life experience, second language, degree for use in China, or a degree/qualification for use elsewhere in the world? What is your family’s budget? It is not realistic nor is it safe to rely on part-time work abroad to support your living expenses. What degree/qualification do you choose? If you are studying a program to obtain a qualification that will permit you to work elsewhere in the world it’s important to check if the degree is internationally recognised and will the qualifications give you licensing that may be required to practice in your profession. Timing: Plan ahead. Clients of Freedom Migration speak with us six to twelve months before their anticipated trip to ensure they meet the requirements of their student visa. Some countries like

Australia require you to have saved your funds for your studies in the bank for a minimum of six months. Choosing the right visa: In most Western countries there is a different student visa for each level of study you choose. In Australia for example there are seven different visa options for students. To be granted an Australian visa you must evidence you have the funds to pay for your full period of study, your course fees and your school expenses. You must also prove you have the English skills, usually evidenced by taking the IELTS test and obtaining the required score. Student visas also require acceptance or enrolment into your chosen university and course program. Before departure: For clients of Freedom Migration we provide a full briefing prior to departure for Australia. It’s important you know what to expect, what the differences are in the country you are travelling to and what potential challenges you may encounter while away. You are on your own in most cases and won’t have the support of friends or family.

The Value of Student Service

Trips at ISQ

Patrick Kwok Middle School Guidance Counselor International School of Qingdao

myredstar.com

s an international school serving the expatriate community, one of the core missions of the International School of Qingdao is to develop and equip TCKs (Third Culture Kids) for their holistic growth. In the past few years, we have accumulated experiences in TCK development outside of the classroom. One area we have been focusing on is the development of our Service Trip program for students. Annual service trips provide many valuable growth opportunities for ISQ students. We often misunderstand the sole purpose of service trips as serving needy people, but

in reality we find that the service trip participants are often the recipients of the most valuable blessings and opportunities to grow in their character. Service trips provide the students with an alternative from the classroom environment to experience and learn about their own TCK identity and challenges. Through serving others, students are confronted with the reality of the core issues in life – security, identity, and intimacy. This can provide a valuable opportunity for personal growth. In order to maximise the learning experience for students, our staff trip leaders need to map out the needs of the service trip recipients

and the students during the preparation process, and debriefing process. At ISQ, we have established expected school-wide learning results (ESLRS). These focus on five areas: intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical. It is these five areas that guide not only our team’s preparation for the trip, but debriefing sessions with students as well. Debriefing skills are important tools for any experiential learning activity. This involves active listening, connecting the participants’ ideas with the learning objectives, encouraging students to express their impressions, and confronting students toward making changes in their own lives. An example

of this highlights a student service trip to a special needs orphanage. Upon reflecting about the trip, a student pondered about the level of contentment of the special needs children during our service trip. She obviously noticed that the special needs children are in much worse circumstances than her, however they did not present as moody, emotional, nor angry, but indeed they were very satisfied and content with the little things they received. When the debriefing can connect the participant’s observations with her own life, it will then allow for a very powerful teaching moment. TCKs often complain about their circumstances because every move implies a

loss in relationship, familiarity, and control. In this case, however, this student was challenged to reflect on true happiness that is independent of any external circumstances. After this trip, this student summarised her first service trip experience as “Life changing!” There are other elements that will enrich the TCK’s experience during service trips. Team building is one area where students are exposed to opportunities for growth. Pre-trip orientations/ trainings and team meetings can provide important information for the students, but more significantly it can build relationships between team members. This teambonding and cohesion element can significantly address the tendency of self-isolation among TCKs. It is thus not a surprise when they share about feeling of loneliness, misunderstanding, or loss that they gain opportunity to relate in a unique way with their classmates. Moreover, service trips allows for opportunities for the participating students to focus on “permission” over “expectation”. While trip leaders should clearly spell out the expectations

myredstar.com

of the trip ensure participants are not abusing the freedom to express themselves, it is also very beneficial to give students permission to share, give critical feedback, and to be themselves. TCKs are often confronted with cross-cultural expectations. Perhaps, they know well what the expectations are and how they could perform for others in different settings. However, before the TCKs can naturally take ownership of “code switching” between different people groups, they need to feel assured that they are permitted to be authentic and will always be accepted when they decide not to perform. One of the most common authentic responses is the criticising of local food during the trip. It is indeed a great teaching moment for cross-cultural issues. It raises awareness of their responses to cross-cultural “shocks”. The service trip leaders also play a significant role in TCK development. Leaders focus on listening to the stories of the TCKs. One of the very useful techniques for trip leaders is to ask a lot of follow up questions. Within a team meeting setting, although leaders will spend time on follow up questions, they are also making quick analysis and asking more general but powerful questions. For instance, “What is the purpose of going on a service trip?” Finally, there are a lot of insights that we can debrief during the farewell. Saying

goodbye is often a common experience for TCKs, but is still never easy! At the end of almost every service trip, when it comes time to say goodbye to the local people, there will inevitably be someone crying. The farewell portion of a service trip can be another great opportunity to debrief loss. TCKs can tend to avoid investing themselves emotionally and choose to be indifferent in an effort to shield themselves from the pain of having to say goodbye, which for them, inevitably comes. During one of our trips, there was a student who asked a handicapped child, “If she could change anything, what it would be.” She was expecting the child to say something like “I want my legs” or “I want to be able to go outside,” but the child’s response was “that you guys are leaving.” In fact, children at the orphanage have similar experiences as the TCKs. They are so used to the coming and going of the “friendly”, “kind”, and “caring” people. Therefore, they have similar attitudes toward goodbyes, and TCKs are deeply touched by it. These are just a few of the ways which the staff and teachers at the International School of Qingdao have seen service trips be used as powerful tools to help TCKs develop in positive ways. It is our purpose to develop students holistically, and there are indeed many creative ways we can initiate this through student service trips. Student service trips provide students a greater perspective of their host country, as well as a deeper understanding of their TCK identity.

YCIS Qingdao

Standing in the Community on Four Pillars 30

myredstar.com

n August 2013 YCIS will welcome students back to school and maintain its claim to our highest enrollment and the second highest for an international school in Qingdao, following a Western-based curriculum for children aged 2 to 18. YCIS is an approved Cambridge International Examination Centre (CIE) for IGCSE and A Level. YCIS Qingdao is a member of the Council of International Schools (CIS). The school provides the curriculum to strict criteria. CIS is a premier organisation in international education.

During 2012 - 2013, a monumental year to celebrate 80 years of Yew Chung education and its long history, the YCIS network of schools was presented with the Cambridge Award for ‘Excellence in Education.’ This is the first time such a recognition has been presented to a school network in China and it gives acknowledgment to the success of students in the Cambridge Top in the World IGCSE Awards, Top in China IGCSE Awards, High Achievement in IGCSE Awards, Best Across IGCSE Awards, as well as the achievement of the highest percentages in A* - A across a wide range of subjects in the June 2011 examination series. These awards are some of the most recent examples of the history of excellence at YCIS. The award was presented to YCIS and received by Superintendent of Yew Chung International Schools in China, Tom Ulmet. At Qingdao an IGCSE student was awarded Top in the World for Chinese as a Second Language and we look forward to continuing the students’ success during 2013-14. YCIS schools follow the framework and schemes of work from the National Curriculum for England. Topics are made relevant to the international student through more global aspects of the subjects. This is the most widely found national curriculum across the world’s international schools; thus making it a perfect education path for international families who may need to transition between countries. Being a track of education that is clearly defined and identified it leads to internationally recognised external examinations for university entry.

What makes YCIS schools stand apart from other alternatives? YCIS holds true to four key features that guide and prepare the young person towards the world of options post 18 years old. Today’s education must be for tomorrow’s workforce. Best of East and West - Uniting Cultures To develop inter-cultural competency, we immerse students in a dual culture-learning environment with abundant opportunities for cross-cultural interactions and collaborations. English and Chinese are the key languages of the world now; being competent and equally fluent will be an asset to their future success. Employers commonly seek those with the edge above others, those with accomplished resumes of flexibility, the understanding between different corners of the world, thus seeing no frontiers. Global Education - Going Beyond Borders As rapid globalisation continually takes place, YCIS prepares students to face the challenges of the unknown future and remain poised to embrace the world with confidence. With subject matter being global, and embracing wider understanding, their education reaches deeper universal application later in life. Society has moved from local to global and it will only continue to progress further in this direction. Global Competitive Education - Ready for Challenges The YCIS journey empowers students to take on the world’s challenges and demands with competence; leading and inspiring others around them. Inner confidence develops through a secure and loving environment; at YCIS this nurturing begins in the Early Childhood Education classes. Character Education - Creating a Better Future YCIS educates students with its Character Education programme to become caring individuals holding the world’s future in their hands, ready to make a difference on any scale, in any scenario. It is the “soft skills” of sensitivity, diplomacy, tolerance and cultural diversity acceptance and much more, that evolves within the students’ inner transformation of growth. It’s more than an education – it’s what’s inside that counts. We recommend parents make a visit to feel the school’s atmosphere and experience first-hand the potential that you could offer your child.

EDUCATION measurable action items that can be used for self improvement.

Why is it important for an international school in China and Asia? It helps parents know this is a school that meets a thoroughly high academic and support criteria, and it is important for the school because they are consciously engaging in a protocol that is good for the betterment of the school. It’s certainly important for the school in marketing cache too.

A Recipe for Self Improvement Executive Director of WASC, Dr. David Brown, waxes lyrical on the virtues of self studies and self improvement while updating the existing WASC accredited status of Qingdao International School of Shandong (QISS). What should an accredited school be doing? An accredited school is doing the things they claim to do and the mark of accreditation reflects good practices being carried out inside the school. In assessing whether a school does or does not meet the standards, we talk to the school and we visit the school and ask, “is there a safe environment for learning with qualified teachers, text books, and support materials?

myredstar.com

Is there a clear vision for the school? Is the school able to define what the students will be like after their education?” School improvement plays a key role. Through the selfstudy procedure required to become WASC-accredited, schools tend to discover that they are not perfect and that there are areas that they can improve upon. The final outcome of the self study procedure is a number of

What is required to be awarded accreditation? A strong and supportive school faculty that encourages shared decision making. We look for high aptitude in the following key areas: 1. Governance - system that allows shared decision making with little or no micromanagement; 2. Credentialed, qualified staff that know their subject matter; 3. Vision and purpose; 4. A safe and nurturing environment; 5. Text books and resources; 6. Adequate support for students including counselling, and systems to address learning gaps, and; 7. Fiscal solvency: is the school on solid enough financial footing to be in business in the foreseeable future?

How does an accreditation take place? It’s a pier process. Most accreditors are volunteers - which helps impartiality.

A school like QISS would require a 3 man team, after self study. In China, the team usually comes from California or Japan. Schools pay for the process, including the cost of the inspection visit and annual fee of membership.

How much of a time and resources investment is there in becoming accredited? If anything has value and you want it to be meaningful, it takes work. For real benefits to show it takes time and energy: we expect around 18 months with the concerted involvement of parents, students, staff and the leadership team. We are not a compliance driven process. Ultimately we ask, “does the school add value?” Some schools think they are great but they just have excellent students from families with a high capacities. We want schools to demonstrate how they add to the personal, academic and social growth of students. That’s a big part of the self study.

Does accreditation necessarily indicate a more advanced capacity to educate?

For the most part yes, because the school has gone through a protocol designed to make sure they assess everything they can. They use data to demonstrate what works and doesn’t work. If it’s a standards-based or a conceptual program, there are still bricks that show growth. Sometime the data from the accreditation study informs what isn’t working too - if you

get that result then you’ve got to apply a different strategy. A data driven model informs and changes the structure and instructional practices. In which country and according to what principles is WASC accreditation founded? We were founded to meet the needs of the university system and to identify schools that were producing talented students that would be successful in university. Now it has become a confirmation of educational quality.

WASC is a 53-year-old institution of academic certification which stands for Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and it’s important to note that Western means the west coast of the United States. There are many other bodies and boards offering US-standard accreditation, as well as other bodies for British and European educational standards, such as IGCSE and CIS.

Director of Qingdao International School of Shandong Dr. Jay Teston speaks on the challenges of reconciling a rapidly changing commercial and technological landscape with a clear educational vision that develops students intellectually, as well as spiritually.

EDUCATION Vitality now takes the

form of rigourous instruction. It’s no longer enough to simply introduce students to key skills. We have to introduce them to skills they can use throughout their life: lifelong learning. We strive to imbibe students with applicable information and techniques that they will be able to use throughout life. I have long believed that this functional utilisation of information should be considered a new key skill.

Courage

is better explained as internal and external growth. Students must grow internally to become knowledgable, productive, valuable members of society, and also they have to grow and adapt with the fast-moving international community.

Sensitivity

ll schools are founded on a mission that reaches beyond the fundamental motive of education. The mission might include a prescribed formalism for testing, it might concentrate on the holistic development of the students or be academically-oriented, or aim for functional applications of key skills in real-world settings. Yet any given school’s guiding principals need to be able to change and adapt because education has to remain relevant. Technology needs to be embraced and students need to be prepared to use it to their advantage. What is education going to look like as we move further

myredstar.com

into the 21st Century? The state of the international school market is changing because the state of the world has changed due to the rapid advancement of technology. The world has become flatter. So my role now, and the role of the teachers I work with, is how to infuse that concept into the existing educational framework we offer. We have to maintain the mission and the guiding principals of the school, but how do we look at this from the new state of the world? Throughout its existence, Qingdao International School of Shandong has had a mission, which is to develop a mindful heart in each of our students; a compassionate and sensitive outlook based on

developing real-life skills, an affinity for problem solving, and reason. In order to achieve this, we have based all of our teaching around five guiding principles: Vitality, Courage, Sensitivity, Intelligence and Compassion. The challenge for us moving forward has been incorporating these valuable character traits into a new framework that facilitates the holistic development of youngsters and places them in the best position - intellectually, spiritually and with developed skills for their futures and their careers. In short, we have redefined Vitality, Courage, Sensitivity, Intelligence and Compassion.

now takes the form of collaboration. One community needs to collaborate with - and be sensitive to - another community. All the children that we develop should have collaborative skills.

Intelligence

now has another dimension: digital intelligence. The student should make sound judgements that incorporate technology. Many people in the world rarely use paper and pencils anymore, and a truly modern education should reflect that. Learning and utilising technology is a huge part of being able to relate to the modern world.

Compassion

has to manifest itself into actual partnerships. Interconnectedness, interactivity and relationships are a increasingly important in the globalised 21st Century world, not only in human interaction but also business and trade.

How is this new formalism incorporated functionally? To take one example, in our recent QISS Science Fair, students were expected to prepare digital portfolios. All of our entries have been presented digitally and judged digitally, by internal and external judges. We have an increasingly large emphasis on project-based key assignments. Teachers are collaborating to come up with single projects that represent a multitude of different standards and skills. We have introduced a Vertically-Aligned Curriculum (VAC) from Kindergarten to Grade 12, which defines the set of skills that we want our 12th graders to embody, and we measure it by using a digital bank that shows how those skills are being developed from 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades all the way up to 12th grade. What this ensures is that if a student did not achieve a certain level deemed to be satisfactory in the past, we will make sure that the gaps in his or her knowledge are addressed before the next course of study begins (or in the most expedient manner available). In an American curriculum, whereas in the past English 12 was English 12, and the English teacher taught the content for that grade level, now we teach within the whole K-12 spectrum. If you’re a student in the 11th grade, and you did not master the skills from lower grades, this is a predicament that needs to be improved upon. A VAC addresses this issue

and is especially applicable in Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Further changes to our methodology are in testing and measuring student performance. We put a lot of time into showing the students and their parents how they have grown as an individual through formal testing. We have instruments to show where a student is at at the start of the year and the end of the year. We try to show parents where they are on the vertical spectrum of skills. All of our teachers have their own websites which parents can check. These are strategies that I have used in other schools in the past. I am a big supporter of project-based learning and experiential learning, and that is aligned with our school mission and our way of teaching here. This is why I came to this school. The mission of this school and the philosophy of Teaching for Understanding is aligned with my personal beliefs. And I have been blown away by the results so far: it is truly amazing to see how our students do their presentations, incorporating animations and graphics to great effect. It is almost magical to see what the youngsters can do when the school raises its expectations.

Emotional and Social Development

Approaches from Montessori and IB Vanessa Rigaud, Ed.D

t’s nearly lunchtime on a Friday morning. 26 students from 15 countries sit in a circle in the Grade 5 room. They have just read a story about two goats on a narrow bridge, each trying to pass the other, whose unwillingness to yield lands both of them in the freezing river below. The children share their own short dialogues about how the goats might have resolved the problem in a peaceful, mutually agreeable way. The students’ assignment for the weekend is to go home with a proverb - “Although the river is wide, sometimes, boats collide” - and talk to their parents about what it means. Community Meetings like this one take place every week, as part of the Peace Curriculum at Qingdao Amerasia International School. For two hours, children ages 6-12 work together to explore ideas of respect, tolerance, and empathy. Working in multi-age groups, they analyze interpersonal crises and think creatively about how they can be agents for peaceful resolution. Schools have a responsibility to equip their students for success in life, and to create an environment that fosters student inquiry and growth. With the fast pace of change in the 21st century, it is widely acknowledged that schools need to reconsider curriculum content and classroom technology in order to engage students, and to ensure that

what students are learning in the classroom will be relevant to their lives. But while the past fifteen years have seen a rise in education standards overall, the increase in hostile and aggressive behavior in many schools and districts suggests that something is being missed. It has become very clear that students’ social and emotional development must be prioritized, planned for, assessed, and reflected upon as an integral part of a school’s learning outcomes. In the Montessori and International Baccalaureate (IB) approaches to education, schools are as responsible for children’s social and emotional development as they are for cognitive and physical outcomes. Montessori and IB philosophies sit at the heart of Qingdao Amerasia International School, serving children from age 18 months to 18 years. Social and emotional development are unique for every

Schools have a responsibility to equip their students for success in life, and to create an environment that fosters student inquiry and growth. the same family, may struggle to come to terms with their environment. Within Qingdao’s international community, children come from many different countries and socioeconomic backgrounds.

But in most children, development unfolds according to a basic underlying principle: the impact of a child’s experiences and interactions with her environment constructs knowledge that helps her understand and function in the world around her. In the best of situations, this process is a ‘virtuous circle’ of understanding, inquiry, and construction of new knowledge. When children are continuously frustrated in their efforts to do meaningful activity and build reliable relationships, they become more likely to belittle their peers, reject instruction, and act to elicit strong reactions from others. Proper attention to social and emotional development in school, beginning in the early years of a child’s life, can play a vital role in avoiding manifestations of aggression and hostility. Schools always play a key role in children’s social development, as the center of a child’s work, play, and interaction with peers. School administrators and teachers, in particular, wield tremendous influence over where each child stands, both in relation to other children, and in relation to each child’s own opportunities to build understanding. It is not enough for teachers and administrators to acknowledge the importance of their role; in order to be effectively learned, social and emotional development must be part of the school’s taught curriculum. At Qingdao Amerasia International School, emphasis on social and emotional

development begins in the earliest years with Montessori and continues throughout childhood and adolescence in our IB programs. Student development is influenced by relationships and social environments, including informal interactions as well as structured programs. The school embraces its role as the major context for social and emotional development, growing along with and connected to academics, and works with parents through regular workshops and their parent organization to ensure that there is continuity between home and school. All teachers at QAIS must complete Montessori or IB certification before leading a classroom. The Montessori educational model and pedagogy addresses the root of a child’s anger before it becomes expressed outwardly as aggression and hostility. It teaches children to take responsibility and act independently for their own learning, but also to cooperate effectively with peers. They must be able to understand the feelings of others, control their own feelings and behaviors, and get along with their peers and teachers. Grades 1-12 at QAIS emphasize social and emotional development in several ways, both as a school-wide project, and also in ways that are appropriate to the ages of students in each program. For example, the IB Learner

Profile is a set of attributes which we hope to instill in every member of our community, from the Principal to the youngest Toddler. As an IB World School candidate, QAIS is responsible for embedding these attributes in our school culture, in ways that are both explicit and subtle. Teachers at all levels regularly encourage students to reflect on ways that they have seen these attributes modeled, and students are often recognized for their actions. At the same time, the Primary Years Program has a set of Attitudes (including enthusiasm, empathy, respect, and cooperation, among others) which form part of teachers’ plans for every lesson: “How is this activity going to help us develop cooperation?” “How might empathy have helped these two characters to avoid their conflict?”

“Although the river is wide, sometimes, boats collide.” If we are to give our students the best possible chance for success, it is not enough for them to skillfully navigate the rivers of knowledge and ability. They must be mindful of the other people on the river, and know that sometimes our inability to cooperate is the source of our greatest peril. Children need to be taught how to work together, to manage their emotions, to resolve conflict and to embrace differences in a caring and loving way. Understanding the needs of social and emotional development is an essential part of nurturing our children.

Learning to Serve QAIS Students Aid Rural School 48

myredstar.com

n Friday, April 12th, a beautiful day got even brighter as QAIS Secondary students played, read, and made friends with Dianji Township Xiwang Neighborhood Primary School in Jimo City. The trip was a milestone in Student Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to provide needed resources to a local school, and is hopefully the first of many such events to come. 27 students participated, led by Qingdao Expat Charity Rural Schools

Coordinator, Don Dong, accompanied by Chris Cronin (PE Coordinator), Skenny Darbouze (Science Teacher), and Eric Blocher (Communications Director). In October of 2012, QAIS Student Council discussed ways that we could serve our community, using the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile as a set of guiding principles: What local issues or challenges did we want to know more about? Could we

inquire into possible ways to help the issue? Who might we communicate with to help us develop an action plan? What experiences might help us to become more open-minded, and balanced? And, given the opportunity to care for others, would we take the risk and move out of our own comfort zones? In November, representatives from Qingdao Expat Charity met with Secondary to describe some of the projects

EDUCATION

that they have been working on in recent years. After reflecting on their presentation, and our own goals for this year, we chose to engage with the project to support rural schools. The basic challenge facing these schools is that a low annual operating budget forces principals to choose between priorities like keeping classrooms heated, and repairing broken walls; there is never enough to consider new capital projects or equipment. In the meantime, students’ families are responsible for purchasing all of their own books and materials; as we learned, most of the students also walk to school (from up to 5km away), and return home for lunch every day. Half an hour after we passed the last KFC, the horizon was a patchwork of corn, peanuts, and orchards, when the bus

myredstar.com

turned off the highway down a concrete-topped lane barely three meters across. After another mile, a cluster of yellow buildings came into view; then a gate, flanked by two endless columns of spotless, uniformed children, under a banner that read ‘A warm welcome to the students of Qingdao Amerasia International School’. The children cheered in unison as we streamed off the bus, waving pompoms, smiling, affording the kind of welcome that we would more likely reserve for a sports team of international renown. It wasn’t the first time that we would be taken aback by their generosity. We had organized four activities: Chinese story time, Drawing, English story time, and Sports. We brought markers, pencils, paper, basketballs, frisbees, books, and anything

else that we thought might be fun to play with and then be useful to them. We held two joyful forty-minute activity sessions, featuring actionpacked soccer and basketball games, beautiful artwork, and spirited retellings of children’s classics. When it was time to go, we brought out the school supplies that we had prepared as gifts - pencils, erasers, and pens for all. But when the Principal sent the kids in to bring out their gifts, we were literally overwhelmed by bags of peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, handmade cards, and origami creations. To our embarrassment, it was all much more than we could carry; our cardboard boxes were nowhere near sufficient, and our hosts graciously brought out boxes from their own administrative office to help

us transport their gifts back to our community. In the weeks since, we have moved forward with the next phase of our project. The funds raised through our Thanksgiving auction (and through donations from staff and parents) will go to providing a gravel surface for the entire school property, and for security doors and windows for their computer labs. As we found during our visit, the gravel will go a long way to keeping the dust down during soccer games, and generally be an improved surface for walking and playing, especially in wet weather. The security panels will enable the school to install the

computers that have already been bought by another donor; previously, there was no way to secure the rooms from theft. We have been reflecting on the trip in our homeroom classes, and in Student Council meetings. The focus of our discussions is areas that we can improve on for next time, and how soon we can get back out. The general consensus is that we want to spend more time with these kids, and organize to share more about ourselves. But we are excited to have taken the first step to building a relationship out of our desire to serve.

A few things that surprised us “We asked the kids what they want to be when they grow up. A lot of them said ‘Teacher’. I think this might be because teachers are the most knowledgeable, exciting people they know.” - Phalen MacDonald, Grade 8 “One boy said he wants to be a Scientist. I asked him why; he said that he would be the first scientist in his village, and that would be great.” - Sunny Gao, Grade 9 “When we go back, we should bring lunch for them. It would be nice if they could not have to walk all the way home and back in the middle of the day, even if it’s just once.” - Nolwenn Rouault, Grade 6

Malvern: A education without walls

puzzle: how to get a full education in English, to the best British standards without the ghastly cost and jet lag every term? Solution: bring a great boarding school to Qingdao, and build a brand new historic campus, at the foot of beautiful granite hills, just as Malvern UK is at the foot of beautiful granite hills. Now fully installed and up and running, Malvern College Qingdao has just completed its first IGCSE course, and so will be starting A levels in the Autumn. High academic achievement is the goal, matched with the independence and personal responsibility that are needed to thrive away at university afterwards. How to achieve these simultaneously is the challenge. At Malvern, the programme is carefully balanced, and integrates the classroom with the wider learning opportunities beyond the walls.

The full expat teaching team have groups of no more than 20, working in English in well equipped rooms and labs, with enquiry based learning and an individualised approach. In the middle years (12-14), the UK national curriculum is the core, but with generous time for art, music and physical education, and daily Chinese lessons. The IGCSE exams are set and marked in London, so wholly objective and globally valid. Teaching time per subject is high, the better to develop English skills across every subject. But the classroom is only half the story. The boarders learn teamwork, co-operation and tolerance under the guidance of experienced UK House staff who look after and lend

a hand with the evening studies, and build the family atmosphere. After school Clubs and weekend Activities supply extra breadth. The Sports programme gets the students fitter, and we miss no chances to explore the wonderful Laoshan hills: teamwork and leadership in practice, in the fresh air. In good weather, Yanko beach is the later treat; in the off season, the parks, museums and ice skating or bowling keep spirits up. The outdoor education feeds back into classroom performance; evenings and weekends play their part in developing the whole student. It is a well tried and trusted philosophy, now adapted for Qingdao’s setting and students. Malvern College welcomes visitors – but book ahead, or you may need to catch up with the students.

SMART Boards Ain’t All That “How do you use technology in the classroom?” a common interview question asked as I tried to land my first teaching gig. That was over seven years ago, and like every eager graduate of the Faculty of Education, I had prepared a pristine answer.

was hired for a fulltime position and my teaching career was on track for success. Technology in the classroom includes overhead projectors, TVs, (dare I say VCRs!), DVD players, document cameras, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, iPads and classroom laptops. However, one piece of equipment has dominated technology discussions for the past 5 years: The SMART Board, more generically known as an interactive white board (IWB). In my second-year of full-time teaching, I was offered a SMART Board. Woo, hoo! I thought, I’ve hit the big time now. I attended seminar after seminar to learn how to use the celebrated interactive white board, totally sold on the idea that it would revolutionise my teaching. The SMART Board would transform me into the cool, cutting-edge, techie teacher I wanted to be. The experience proved time consuming and frustrating on so many levels. During SMART Board training, I felt like Tantalus, the mythical

myredstar.com

Greek mortal made to eternally suffer. Tantalus stood thirsty and starving, the pool of water he stood in receded when he tried to drink and the fruit on tree branches near him slightly exceeded his farthest reach. SMART Board workshops were indeed tantalising: I was shown all the fun features and incredible lessons one could create to wow and bedazzle students. Lack of student engagement would be a thing of the past in my classroom. Yet, the workshops were lecture-style presentations (using a SMART Board of course) with very little time to experiment and create one’s own lessons. I tried desperately to make time to create lessons on my own, only to forget either one key step or which drop down menu had the tool I needed to complete the task. Yes, I could call the IT consultant, schedule an appointment with him or her but busy teachers will understand why this doesn’t always work out despite the best of intentions. The administration at my school

refused to mount the IWB on a classroom wall or provide me with a single-room class schedule so, by the time I hauled the board around and hooked it up, I lost 20% of my teaching time. Did I abandon the SMART Board? No. It has its place in the classroom and I’m always glad to see rooms equipped with one. However, I now firmly believe that interactive white boards should be viewed as one of many tools to be used in current teaching practices; it does not make or break classroom teaching. There are some general short-comings of the interactive white board craze. Interactive white boards are engaging only initially. The ‘wow factor’ of a presenter standing at the board without a keyboard and mouse to interact with content is short-lived. The software does have some bells and whistles that will amuse students in the initial hour, but they soon grow accustomed to it. Student interaction, coming up to touch the IWB, can be

replicated with a $30 wireless mouse, computer and LCD projector. Interactive white boards are not the only way to save live content. An IWB can efficiently save content written on it. However, using a computer and projector offers other options: screenshot, screencast and Microsoft OneNote. Or, a teacher can use older technology such as an overhead projector, transparency, and a scanner. A smartphone can easily take a picture of the board (many students use this option as an alternative to copying down notes). Many document cameras capture images as well. So, teachers hooked on saving white board brainstorming sessions can use other options; especially if their budget is small. Interactive white boards do not improve classroom teaching. A teacher will still control the content, deliver it at the front of the classroom and manage students who may or may not care for the lesson. An IWB does not create an adaptive environment, differentiate instruction or enable social feedback. Interactive white boards do not reduce teacher workload or make lesson planning more efficient. However, they do allow for more media savvy lessons and are a more attractive white board. Interactive white boards do not necessarily create a studentcentred environment. An IWB is one of many classroom tools; it is just one more manipulative. If a teacher is given one more box of markers or one more calculator, it would not transform their teaching, either. A single large white screen, alone, does not create a student-centred environment. No matter how “touchable” course content is, students are

still subjected to traditional pedagogy as they view the lesson. An IWB does not empower students to create, connect, share, collaborate and take ownership of their learning. Interactive white boards are costly. According to SMART Technologies Inc. financial results for 2012, the average price for an IWB unit was approximately $1200 to $1500 (CDN/USD). This does not include the price of a projector, computer, speakers, installation fees and teacher training costs. Before the IWB becomes completely functional, the price tag skyrockets.

They may be fun, flashy and convenient but IWBs have not been proven to significantly improve learning. Ideally, a white board may be used by student partners or a small student group in a station format. Using interactive websites, students may take turns manipulating content or completing skill reinforcement games. However, it is important to weigh this occasional use against the overall cost of an IWB. One may conclude it is not a wise investment. For instance, similar interactive activities are possible using tablets or iPads. For the cost of one IWB, a school may purchase many

iPads, making the student-todevice ratio a lot higher and further encouraging studentcentred learning. In some cases, interactive white boards are an administrative cop out. Purchasing IWBs is a sure-fire, tangible way to justify budget expenditures. Interactive white boards are easily written in to budget proposals and entered as line-items on spreadsheets. Principals and schools are often evaluated on standardised test scores. Imagine this: Junior Administrator A: “I need $30,000 to buy SMART Boards to improve literacy test results. Last year, we bought five and scores went up 1%!” Junior Administrator B: “I need $30,000 to experiment with ways to improve learning outcomes.” Who do you think will get budget approval? Investing in less measurable, grassroots approaches, such as math remediation for below level students, is a much tougher sell. They may be fun, flashy and convenient but IWBs have not been proven to significantly improve learning. In fact, they often reinforce traditional classroom models such as teachercentred lessons. They are fancy window dressing for the classroom. Equipping a room with an LCD projector, computer and traditional white board will achieve the same functional results at a fraction of the cost. Perhaps a better approach would be revamping what school, classroom and learning looks like as well as the studentteacher relationship.

Having a Baby in China: redux A year on, Tim Lyddiatt reveals the reality of raising a child in the Middle Kingdom

o, for those that missed the first instalment: my wife and I had a child in Qingdao. With the tremendous help of the Women's and Infants hospital in the old town, we gave birth to a beautiful daughter who is now, just about to turn 15 months massive. It was an interesting experience, with many of our preconceived ideas about what it would be like: the insistence on a caesarian, the overwhelming preference for formula feeding – thankfully – blown away. And along the way, many more things that hadn't previously even occurred to us: baby swimming at one day old, or allowing daddy to sleep when mummy does, being revealed to us as things from which the west could learn a lot. But it has been a year now, and our little baby girl is not so much of a baby any more. But these past twelve months have been lived in China and there are many things to report about the reality of that,

myredstar.com

not least to those reading this whose only idea of child raising are Western ideas. Doing things in China is different, Oh so very different. It can be a slap in the face sometimes, but a warm cuddle at others. This then, is what I’ve learnt so far. For a start, there are the rules. Principle amongst these is that neither mother nor child should leave the house for a month – with the latter not even bathing so as the baby might learn her scent. It's a grim prospect, and not one that any Western mother I know has actually adhered to. But there is some logic to the idea. China is not long 'developed' – in a Western sense, and the big bad world is filled with germs and bacteria and all manner of things whose principle purpose in life is to bedevil with chronic malaise those that wish to walk her streets. Far better then, to stay warm and cosy indoors, far away from that which seeks to harm and infect.

My wife saw things differently. “I am going to go mad,” she said after less than thirty six hours of being freed from her six day hospital “incarceration” (her words). And this in itself is a difference from a Western birth. There, amid pressures for beds and the belief that baby should find home as soon as possible, healthy mothers are dispatched as soon as possible from their hospital quarters; In China, four days is standard and if, as there were with my wife, there are complications, six, eight or ten days is not unheard of. Once home then, my wife wanted to go out almost immediately. A Plan was hatched and aged seven days old, our daughter was introduced to our local hostelry. It was a short trip, just a small respite from home, but even as we walked there one early February afternoon, we had synched our stories in case we were asked. “Yi ger yua (one month).” Even so, the Korean owner of our local said when she saw us, “you are going to be in so much trouble from my (Chinese) staff.” We bluffed it through, our determination to enjoy a lunchtime tipple, and the joy of showing our baby off, more than a match for any cultural incongruity. But it is in a similar vein that we move on to the next thing: the belief that a baby must be wrapped up in a million layers whenever you deign to take her out of the house. Qingdao gets cold in winter, but winter here is short, and once it starts to warm up, it gets very warm indeed. Despite this,

myredstar.com

SOAPBOX cumbersome and unyielding. Better then, surely, to get a pushchair and some thermal layers. Apparently not, and in disembarking from a taxi – a heated taxi – it has not been uncommon for me to be set upon with shrieks of “ta long la” because my daughter had not – yet – been furnished with her hat. The warm thing goes part and parcel with the size thing. My daughter is small, but not unhealthily so. And what she lacks in girth, she more than makes up for in height or length. She is tall and skinny, just like her dad.

even in late April and May, we would receive the constant observation/advice that our baby was cold. “Ta long la (she’s cold!),” to which the only retort is an increasingly impatient – depending on how many times you had found it necessary to us it today - “ting bu dong.” The fact is that there is a species of Chinese child that I will forever think of as 'carpet children.' You see them on the buses and in the streets wrapped in layer after layer of clothing, and then wrapped again in blankets so thick that they could cover a floor. Usually held aloft by mothers – or teenage ayis – that seem tiny in comparison to these baby bundles they find themselves shouldering at all costs, on a bus they consume multiple seats and, in the street, they just look

But that is not healthy for a Chinese baby, apparently. But my daughter was exclusively breastfed for the first six months of her life, only being offered solids when she was asking for them. She has fed on formula precisely seven times, all of which were in the first three days of her life and because her mummy was too ill to feed her. Not so, it would seem, your average Chinese baby. They are enormous, and their parents, rightly so, are proud of this. So when they stop you to take pictures, and this is unavoidable, they make guesses as to how old your baby may be. They are almost always four months too young. But when you tell them her real age, they look at you like she must be sick, must be unhealthy to be so small. Poor you. And you want to scream, want to grab them and ask them whether wrapping them up till they're super heated and stuffing them full of

formula so they never cry and always sleep is really the best way to introduce such a delicate package to the world. But you don't: you smile and say xie xie, and wander off as far away as you can to try and get some peace. Having a baby in China then, the actual fact of having one, there, out in the world, can be best described as being a process of deflecting well meant criticism and learning the correct responses before they are even called for. To not do so, is to run the gauntlet of a million exasperated mothers, grandmothers and their partners who think that the way they have done things for generations is the only way that these things can be done. Which is fair enough, really. And one thing that is lovely, most of the time, is the attention that our daughter – and therefore, we – receive. Numerous have been the occasions where our little S-Bomb has literally stopped traffic, such is the attention she has laid upon her. Crowds form, filled with happy people all asking us about her: how old she is, where she was born; her English and Chinese names. It can be a bit much sometimes, but generally these are the times when I feel most welcomed in the Middle Kingdom. It's nice.
