在这次疫情中,参与在线公益活动的小老师们踏踏实实地为小朋友和社区做出了无私的奉献。

个人一直以为:不断地重复,或者不断地Push 孩子们去刷题的学习方式对绝大多数非天(专)才的孩子来说,不一定是利大于弊的“好”方法。“知识的结构”(平衡的广度)在孩子成长的早期阶段,可能比知识的深度更为重要些。
到了一定的年龄,随着孩子智力的发展,可以用 One Step Ahead 的思维来引导孩子们。 或者说,根据每个孩子的思维发展/发育的真实程度去适当地引导孩子进入到能比较完全理解的深度,但是不能超越孩子的接受能力而形成灌输的模式。
如果孩子(大人也不例外)不能完全理解所学的“知识”,这些静态的知识除了成为“储备”之外,有时可能反而会在潜意识中形成反作用,成为干扰孩子去真正接地气地思考问题和解决问题的障碍。
这次大孩子们自导自演的3H Program (大孩子带小孩子)活动,让我开了不少的眼界。
孩子们所进入的深度和广度,已经远远超过了我的想象力。或者说 Double 都不止了。
虽然我们大人也发现了许多问题,比如掉线了,比如有人“忘记”了上课时间,比如个别小朋友没有去查看邮件而到处乱进教室啦等等,但是对这些问题的发现和处理,让大孩子们学到了很多现场及时处理和事后反思问题的能力和习惯,在发现了自己的不足之时,自然而然地提高了自己的各个方面的能力。
当我跟女儿,以及一些小老师们(含家长)提出,希望小老师们能针对已经结束的 3 H Program 活动,做些发自内心的反思和讨论时,没想到大家都做出了积极的响应。
我觉得,透过对现象的反省(而不是他人的指责和批评)能让大孩子们从内心深处认识自己,接受自我,提高自己。这也是我过去几年来一直在鼓吹和实施的培养孩子“内动力”的方法和手段之一。
从小学到高中毕业,家长有很多很多机会与孩子一起共同成长。
在成长的过程中,我们习惯于“赶路”,不断地去追逐跑在最前面的“兔子”, 不断地试图让孩子从慢车道尽早地进入快车道,从快车道挤入更快的车道 。。。没有最好,只有更好的思维,让我们在潜意识里会因为被“鸡血”之后而产生的“兴奋但是焦虑”的心情在不知不觉中去推着无奈的孩子“快速”地前行。
在这种思维的影响下,精英和奖学金考试 ,成为大家要去追求的重点的重点,就不足为怪。当看到我早期发的一篇关于奖学金考试的帖子到今天(2020 年6月25 日)为止居然达到了 234,578 人次浏览时,考试,在华人家长心中的重要性,显然不言而喻。

另外一篇关于教孩子数学的文章也有 8 万多人次的浏览量

我们没有给多少时间予成长中的孩子们去反思下自己的人生追求是什么,真正的兴趣在哪儿等等最最基本的问题。
如果大家都能在跨越一个阶段(无论是学业还是课外活动)之后,大人孩子一起按下“暂停键”,想想已经发生了什么,可能学到了什么,为什么发生了 。。。让孩子在深度上去做进一步的自我反思,那么孩子到了9年级中或者 10年级初左右就有可能开始,虽然是步履蹒跚但会坚定地去认真思考和寻找属于自己可能要走的未来人生之路。
学习,阅读,做题,非常重要,那些都是基本的训练,实践应该比读书更加重要。实践之后的反思如果不是跟学习一样重要的话,就是比学习更加重要。
因为,反思,是进入下一个学习循环的新起点,而不是终点。
在新的起点上,去追求更高的另外一个小目标,应该成为孩子在不断追求循环上升过程中的一个思维常态。
这是一次成功的知识结构和经历结构相连接的小实践。

个人希望以后能创造出更多的机会,开展些能让孩子们把各自拥有的知识结构和不同的经历结构相对接的实践活动。
同时,真心期望能得到更多家长的支持和帮助-- 建立更多不同的能让孩子们自由发挥的平台。
以下是两位非常优秀的8年级小老师发给我的小结。欢迎大家围观指导。
=========================================================

3H program
When I initially signed up for this program, I didn’t expect anything other than teaching kids math concepts and making some friends during quarantine. However, as the program went on, not only did I receive an opportunity that I would otherwise not have if I didn’t sign up for this program but I also learnt more about what it takes to be a leader.
Before the program I was already confident- I could speak up for myself when I needed to and present speeches publicly. But 3H program provided a unique opportunity, and this was ‘explaining’. I might understand myself that ¼ x ½ =1/8, but how do I explain it to kids that do not understand this effectively? This allowed me to develop a higher level of explanation skills and therefore gain more confidence in my speaking.
I also gained a deeper and clearer understanding of what it takes to be a leader. What defines a leader? It is not the title or the badge. It is an individual’s qualities. By being an admin or simply part of the team, I realized that a leader has power.
But what comes with the power? It’s the responsibility. The more power you have, the more responsibility. Being a leader is mostly just a matter of “can you guarantee the responsibility that comes with the power?’
Responsibility is not enough if you just make sure you are doing the right thing. It is also to make sure your peers are doing the right thing too. But it’s obvious that not everybody will be willing to listen to you. So, it is up to you to come up with a solution that will convince you peers.
I am looking forwards for the program to continue soon. ”

3H Program
I participated in the 3H program as a mentor for history, as well as a subject admin for Humanities. I was encouraged by my mother to join the program to “gain more leadership experience”. I was hesitant at first, but agreed to join later on. I was hesitant mostly because I had never had any kind of ‘teaching” experience; I also view myself as a passive person, so I never really reach for the opportunities presented to me.
Through participating in this program, I have harnessed a range of skills relating to teamwork. It was also my first time being in a position of “leadership”, which enabled me to handle various responsibilities. I greatly enjoyed working with the other people in History, which contributed to an overall more enjoyable experience.
On occasion, there were times when I had to teach by myself; these moments were quite nerve wracking. But after a while of trying not to think of everything that could go wrong, I gradually gained more faith and confidence in my own ability.
Teaching landed me in a place of authority which felt both unfamiliar and exciting. Creating the teaching material, which consisted of finding informative and entertaining videos (via Horrible Histories), making kahoots and powerpoints, then finally teaching on zoom and receiving an abundance of positive feedback was an extremely fulfilling, one of a kind experience.
Participating in the 3H program was an incredibly valuable experience to me that not only provided an outlet for teaching, but also the purposeful sentiment of being part of a team.
