    Thanks for sharing so much info about the recent teacher training. I’m sure so much was discussed but what do you feel was the biggest thing taken away from the training, besides the workout you got from climbing Huang Shan?

    Also could you talk a little bit more about the location of the workshops. It’s a school right? Did you select to go to that school because their teaching methods are similar. If so I’d love to hear more about them and if RCEF plans to continue working with them.

    Sorry I have more questions than comments. It’s really good to hear about what you all did out there, I can’t wait to hear about some of the new ideas that spring up at Guan Ai as a result of some of the workshop discussions and knowledge gained.

    Chatting with teachers afterwards, I think that a lot of teachers were most inspired by Zuo Laoshi’s innovating approach to science education and teaching in general. In the past, the teachers saw science as a subject that was expendable, and would often take up science periods to teach Chinese and Math instead. After his presentation, Guan Ai has decided to increase the number of science periods in the schedule and is committed to coming up with a better science curriculum.

    The teachers were also very impressed by the Ping Min School’s dedication to fostering independence and life skills in their students. Guan Ai will also be making changes in this direction this schools year. For starters, one teacher has been put in charge of developing a system for students to maintain the hygiene and cleanliness of the school. More time has been allotted for students to change their clothes, make their beds and clean up before classes start.

    Yes, the training location was chosen because of their special mission and methods, which are similar to ours. The hope was that teachers would be inspired and encouraged by seeing the school and interacting with their teachers, and I think that this was achieved. Take a look at the post Diane suggested for more information.

    Thanks for the comment, Marco!
