6月1日开始,Michael Geisen将成为新一年的教育发言人。这位两个孩子的父亲将周游全美和世界。国家级教师计划是全美州首席教育官理事会(the Council of Chief State School Officers)的一个项目,始于1952年。获奖者从当年各州的教师中选出。
President George Bush honored this year's top teachers at the White House last week. He noted that in Michael Geisen's first two years as head of the science department, scores on a state science test rose sharply at his school. And they are still rising. The president's education reform law, the No Child Left Behind Act, expanded testing as a way to measure results. But speaking at the White House, the new National Teacher of the Year said children are "not just numbers to be measured."
总统乔治·布什上周在白宫授予了年度最佳教师荣誉。他注意到,在迈克·盖森作为科学系领导的头两年中,他的学校的国家科学考试成绩剧增,而且现在还在提高。总统签订的教育改革法案“不让一个孩子掉队”,把考试作为一个方法来衡量效果。但是,新的年度国家教师在白宫讲话时表示,不能只把孩子当作测量的数据。
乔治•布什总统上周在白宫给本年的优秀教师颁奖。他指出,Michael Geisen作为科学系主任的头两年时,他所任教的学校在参加州级科学考试时,成绩迅速提高。而且,他们的成绩仍然在提高。总统的教育改革法 --《不让一个孩子掉队》,将测试作为评定结果的一种方法。但是,在白宫的演讲中,这位新的国家级教师获得者说学生不是“可以测量的数值。”
MICHAEL GEISEN: "Students need to know that we value more than just being right all the time. We need to really honor their creativity. We need to honor their desire to learn useful skills that are going to be relevant to the twenty-first century world.
迈克·盖森:“学生需要明白,相对于总是做正确的事情,我们更重视其他。我们应该真正地表扬他们的创意,我们应该表扬他们学习二十一世纪相关有用技巧的渴求。
“学生应该明白我们看重的不只是让他们做乖学生,我们需要真正尊重他们的创造性。我们应该尊重他们渴望学习与21世纪世界有关的有用技能的要求。”
These are skills such as innovation and creativity, people-skills like compassion and collaboration and the ability not to just know the details but to really see how it fits into the big picture. This is our real challenge, is to educate the entire child."
这些技巧包括创新,人性例如同情和协作,还有不仅仅了解细节,而是实实在在注重大局的能力,教育完整的孩子——这是我们面临的真正的挑战。”
这些技能包括创新性和创造性,像激情和合作这样与人相处的技巧以及不仅能看到细节而且能真正明白细节与全局之间关系的能力。这才是我们真正的挑战,是对儿童的完整教育。”
