The second day of the Teacher Professional Development Training was mostly spent listening to guest speaker Zuo Zhaojun (左兆军）, an education researcher from the Xuzhou City Education Bureau Research Department in Jiangsu Province (徐州市教育局教研室教研员). He is an extremely articulate and personable man who has mentored many new teachers to become master teachers. He is a sought after speaker at trainings and we were fortunate to host him. Mr. Zuo evolved into a researcher and trainer after years of firsthand experience as an innovative elementary school teacher. Mr. Zuo said he always wanted to be a teacher but didn’t have a philosophy or direction. He read many education books and in the end it was Tao Xingzhi’s philosophy of linking teaching, learning, and doing (教学做合一) that made sense to him. He carried out many experiments with his students and wrote about the process frequently. He encouraged our teachers to do so as well using the following guidelines:

• Write clearly and in detail to hone your own analysis skills. Don’t make it seem better than it was for your own benefit.
• Internalize an attitude of total sacrifice for the field of education.
• Make writing about your teaching like a game so that you feel glad to do it.

He said that all the teachers had the ability to write essays that could share their expertise with others. However, he cautioned them to select small scale, fresh topics and to keep the pieces short. In the afternoon, Mr. Zuo did a few demonstration lessons on “creativity education” (创造教育) an area he has particular expertise in. He usually does these lessons with elementary school students. In one activity, he handed out manila envelopes bulging with unknown objects. He asked each group to guess the contents and give evidence for their guesses. Using our five senses and powers of reason, we got most of the answers right (various fruits and vegetables) and Mr. Zuo made his point of how to sharpen students’ observation and analysis skills. He also gave many examples of creative inventions students had made in response to everyday life problems. Mr. Zuo’s special passion is science education and honing scientific frames of mind in Chinese students. His all-day lectures contained a lot of interesting information and afterwards, Principal Sun Huimiao from Guan Ai and Principal Zhang from Desheng talked with him individually long into the night.

教师培训第二日：”教-研结合”与”创造教育“

翻译：王晓峰 校对：华振宇

教师职业培训的第二天，是由来自徐州市教育局的教研员左兆军先生为我们做讲演。左先生口才极佳，颇具个人魅力，曾经指导过许多教师新人，帮助他们成长为优秀教育者。他的讲演广受欢迎，日程也非常繁忙，能够邀请到他对我们来说十分幸运。在成为教研员和培训者之前，左先生担任过多年的小学教师，有着丰富的教学创新经验。他说，成为一名教育者是他的夙愿，但自己却一度为找不到方向而苦恼。为此他广泛阅读了教育书籍，直到陶行知先生”教学做合一”的教育思想令他产生深深的共鸣。他在自己的学生中开展了大量教学实验，还常常把这些教学过程写成文字。左先生鼓励我们的教师也尝试这样的教学研究写作，并给出了一些指导原则：

文章力求清晰明了，注重细节，以锻炼写作者的分析能力。实事求是，不可言过其实， 自我美化；

培养献身教育的热情和态度；

快乐地对待教研写作，保持兴趣和动力。

他说，每一位教师都有能力把自己的教学经验和研究成果写出来，介绍给其他人，但是要注意选择具体而鲜活的题目，不要大而空，行文以短小精悍为佳。

下午，左先生为我们上了几堂”创造教育”示范课。他是这一领域的专家，经常为小学生上这样的课程。在其中一个活动里，参加讲座的教师被分成几组，每组发一个牛皮纸信封，里边鼓鼓地不知装了些什么。然后他让每一组猜信封里的东西，并且要给出自己的根据。在充分运用了五种感官和思维推理后，各组大都做出了正确的判断（信封里是各种水果或蔬菜），而左先生通过这样的方式向我们说明了如何锻炼学生们的观察分析能力。接着左先生介绍了一些学生们针对日常生活问题而做出的发明创造。他对于自然科学教学有着特殊的热情，十分注重培养学生的科学思维。持续一天的演讲为我们提供了丰富而有趣的信息。在演讲结束后，关爱小学的孙校长和德胜平民学校的张校长与左先生进行私下交流，他们三人一直攀谈到深夜。
