-第一期:剑桥副校长David Cardwell-
在教育之路上，安生一直很积极，积极对接国内外一线教育资源；积极汲取最前沿的教育理论，积极与家长分享我们对教育的洞察与实践。新学期伊始，学校隆重推出上海安生学校名师讲堂系列活动，邀请国内外知名教育专家与师生、家长分享自己对教育的思考。
On the road to education, Shanghai Thomas School has always been very active: actively connecting with first-line educational resources at home and abroad, actively absorbing the most cutting-edge educational theories, and actively sharing our insights and practices regarding education with parents. At the beginning of the new semester, the school grandly launched the Shanghai Thomas School Famous Teacher Lecture Series, inviting well-known education experts from home and abroad to share their thoughts on education with teachers, students, and parents.
剑桥大学副校长、英国皇家工程院院士、世界著名超导专家David Cardwell教授
第一期名师讲堂，我们荣幸地邀请到了剑桥大学副校长、英国皇家工程院院士、世界著名超导专家David Cardwell教授，他也是安生学校发展指导委员会委员，从学校创办伊始，就开始为学校的发展规划建言献策，为安生PBL项目担任总导师。
In the first famous teacher lecture, we were honored to invite Professor David Cardwell, Vice-President of the University of Cambridge, academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and world-renowned superconducting expert. He is also a member of the Thomas School Development Steering Committee. Since our school’s establishment, he has provided ongoing guidance for the school's development planning and serves as the chief instructor of the Project Based Learning (PBL) project.
#1“什么样的学生能进剑桥？”
作为世界顶尖名校，剑桥大学是莘莘学子们梦寐以求的学府。什么样的学生能进剑桥呢？是你来自哪所学校，或是拥有某些特殊背景？亦或是拥有与所选专业无关的特长？其实，这些都不重要。
As a top university in the world, the University of Cambridge is the dream institution for many students. What kind of students can be admitted to the University of Cambridge? Does it matter what school you came from? Do you have to have some special background? Do you need expertise that is unrelated to your chosen major? In fact, these are not important.
在讲座中，David Cardwell教授坦言，除了学业成绩外，学术能力和潜力是剑桥极为看重的。对所选学科是否有热情，是否具备所选学科的知识素养，是否有学习的主动性，是否有足够的自信心和能力去完成各项任务，是否善于研究……这些才是剑桥大学在筛选学生时所强调的。
In the lecture, Professor David Cardwell said frankly that in addition to academic performance, academic ability and potential are what’s highly valued by Cambridge. Whether you have enthusiasm for the chosen subject, whether you have the knowledge literacy of the chosen subject, whether you have the initiative to learn, whether you have enough self-confidence and ability to complete various tasks, whether you are good at research... these factors are what Cambridge University emphasizes when admitting students.
#2“不同阶段，培养孩子要注重什么”
在David Cardwell教授眼中，终身或可转移的技能与专业知识同样重要，优质而均衡的教育将为孩子的未来带来更多的机会。因此，在每个阶段，都需要根据孩子的成长特性进行课程选择和规划。
In the eyes of Professor David Cardwell, lifelong or transferable skills are as important as technical knowledge, and a high-quality and balanced education will bring more opportunities for a child’s future. Therefore, course choice and planning are essential at every stage.
幼儿阶段，孩子如同一块空白的画布，他们对知识有着无止境的渴求，因此营造良好的环境对发展潜能至关重要，家长们要耐心地与孩子进行互动，善于关注每个孩子的需求，鼓励和培养他们的想象力和自信心。
In the early childhood stage, children are like a blank canvas. They have an endless thirst for knowledge. As such, creating a good environment is crucial to the development of potential. Parents should patiently interact with children, pay attention to the unique needs of each child, and encourage and develop their imagination and self-confidence.
小学阶段，这个阶段的学生不善读写，专注力不够，因此体验式学习至关重要，要引导孩子们积极社交，在与不同人的接触中培养社交能力，让身体和心灵都在路上，在探索世界的过程中激发兴趣，培养想象力。
At the primary school stage, students are generally weaker at reading and writing and have insufficient concentration. Therefore, experiential learning is very important. It is necessary to guide children to actively socialize and cultivate social skills in contact with different people, and balance physical and mental activities. We should stimulate their interest and cultivate their imagination while exploring the world.
初中阶段，相比于小学，这一阶段的孩子专注力有所提高，但仍然需要以体验式学习为主。孩子这时可能开始有了自己的兴趣爱好，擅长的学科有了偏向，竞争意识也已经出现，这时，家长除了在关键点上对孩子给予正确的指导外，要善于引导孩子，帮助孩子去学会自己做决定，减少对家长的依赖。
At the middle school stage, compared with primary school, children have improved concentration, but they still need to focus on experiential learning. At this stage, each child may start to have his or her own interests and hobbies, and a sense of competition can also emerge. In addition to giving sound advice and guidance to children in crucial areas, parents must help them learn to make decisions on their own and reduce dependence on parents.
高中阶段，学生的目标感和竞争意识都会很强烈，在严峻的学业压力下，也可能因此更加脆弱，家长要多去表扬他们，增强他们的自信心，给予他们足够的支持，帮助他们学会独立。
In high school, students have a strong sense of purpose and competition, which can in fact weaken their resolve when faced with intense academic pressure. Parents should praise them more, enhance their self-confidence, and give them enough support in order to help them learn to be independent.
#3“有没有什么行之有效的学习方法？”
有没有一种学习方法能让学生又能解决现实问题，又能保持更高水平的学习力？有！PBL项目式学习。
Is there a learning method that allows students to solve real-world problems and maintain a higher level of motivation? Yes! PBL（project-based learning）.
作为一种以学生为中心的教学法，PBL基于问题导向，不强调用既定的方案去解决问题，而是让学生在发现中学习，通过自己去定义问题，通过头脑风暴去提出假设，并在阅读文献、亲身实践中找到问题的解决方法，注重学生的反思精神、团队合作能力、创新思维的培养。
As a student-centered teaching method, PBL is problem-oriented but does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution; rather, it allows students to learn through discovery: students must define problems on their own, propose hypotheses through brainstorming, find and study relevant literature, and uncover solutions to problems through trial and error. Through this process, PBL cultivates students' reflective spirit, teamwork ability, and innovative thinking.
#4“作为学校，
如何去帮助学生规划学习，问鼎一流大学”
一直以来，上海安生学校都致力于对标世界一流大学的挑选标准，培养具备“双语、双能双文化"的未来英才。在名师讲堂中，安生教育集团董事长、上海安生学校张梧华校长现身说法，为大家介绍了具有剑桥基因的安生教育实践。
Shanghai Thomas School has always been committed to benchmarking the selection criteria of world-class universities and cultivating future talents who have " bilingual skills (Chinese and English), dual abilities (learning ability and innovation ability) and bicultural awareness (traditional Chinese culture and global culture）." In the lecture, Zhang Wuhua, chairman of Ambright Education Group and principal of STS, gave his own words to introduce STS’ education practices along with its Cambridge genes.
安生教育集团董事长、上海安生学校张梧华校长
上海安生学校由中国国际教育领域的先行者和探索者——安生教育集团于2018年开办。学校坐落于上海市普陀区桃浦智创城，是一所高端定位于现代化、科技化、国际化特色的民办非营利12年制学校，是普陀区政府为产业聚才、项目引才的重点工程，可容纳1600名学生，涵盖小学、初中和高中三个学部。学校秉承“修德、立人、行世界”校训，构建中外优质教育资源相融合的学校育人体系。
Shanghai Thomas School was opened in 2018 by Ambright Education Group, a pioneer in the field of international education in China. The school is located in Taopu Smart City, Putuo District, Shanghai and is a key project of the Putuo District Government. It is a high-end, private, non-profit, 12-year school with modern, technological, and international characteristics. It can accommodate 1,600 students covering primary, middle, and high school. The school features a pedagogy that integrates high-quality Chinese and foreign educational resources.
早在创办之初，安生就已经得到了剑桥大学David Cardwell教授、斯坦福大学教育学院院长、美国第一公立高中托马斯·杰斐逊科技高中科学实验室主任等一批顶尖教育专家的指导，他们在课程设置、教育教学、发展规划等方面都高屋建瓴地提出了建设性意见，让安生从一开始就立足于高标准规划、高质量建设。
As early as its establishment, STS has received guidance from a group of top education experts such as Professor David Cardwell of Cambridge University, a Dean of the School of Education at Stanford University, and a Director of the Science Laboratory of Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology, the first public high school in the United States. Constructive opinions have been put forward from a high level in terms of setting, education and teaching, development planning, etc. by these esteemed fellows, allowing STS to be founded upon a foundation of high-quality planning from the beginning.
考虑到世界一流大学入学时对笔试（掌握学科知识）和面试（知识运用能力）的双重要求，在十二年制的育人过程中，上海安生学校以英语为底色，强调iBET（生物、英语、技术课程融合）、PBL、STEAM等特色课程的学习，既重视学生知识的掌握，也注重运用知识能力的培养，帮助学生进入剑桥、牛津等世界顶级名校。
Considering the dual requirements of written examination (mastery of subject knowledge) and interview (knowledge application ability) when entering world-class universities, Shanghai Thomas School extensively employs English in its teaching and emphasizes iBET, PBL, STEAM and other special courses. This allows the school to not only pay attention to the mastery of students' knowledge, but also pay attention to the cultivation of the ability to use this knowledge to help students enter the world's top universities such as Cambridge and Oxford.
为了帮助学生问鼎一流名校，安生教育集团还特别设置了世界名校中国英才遴选中心（CEIS），其下的AST（Aptitude Scholastic Test）考试又被称作中国自己的“国际高考”， 是中国首个融合国家高中课标、参考中国高考的国际标准化大学入学考试，是选拔优秀中国学生参加剑桥大学等世界名校面试并录取的重要测评工具，致力于帮助普高学生圆梦世界名校。
In order to help students aspire to first-class schools, Ambright Education Group has also specially set up the China Excellence Identification Scheme (CEIS) for world-famous schools. Its AST (Aptitude Scholastic Test) examination is also called China's own "International College Entrance Examination" and is China's first international standardized university entrance exam, which integrates national high school curriculum standards and refers to the Chinese College Entrance Examination. The AST is an important assessment tool for selecting outstanding Chinese students to participate in interviews and admissions to world-renowned universities such as Cambridge University.
今年，上海安生学校也以普高94.5%的高考达线率、55% G5大学、65%QS 世界Top30大学录取的骄人成绩，向家长和社会交上了一份满意的答卷，验证了安生教育实践的行之有效。
This year, STS also achieved impressive matriculation results: its students achieved a 94.5% gaokao pass rate; 55% of its bilingual students were admitted to G5 universities, and 65% of students are admitted to QS World Top 30 universities. These results serve to verify the effectiveness of STS’ educational practices to parents and students alike.
第一期上海安生学校名师讲堂圆满落幕，但是上海安生学校学习、创新的步伐从未停歇。做有温度的教育，我们一直在路上！
The first session of Shanghai Thomas School's Famous Teacher Lectures ended successfully, but the pace of learning and innovation of STS will never stop. At STS, we constantly strive to provide our students with more effective, more enlightened education.
