普莉希拉·陈：终身学习才能持续前进

So part of what your experience was to keep learning, right?
所以，你所分享的经验之一就是保持学习，对吧？

You just kept learning and that has been such an important driver for you
你一直在学习，这对你来说是一个很重要的驱动力

Part of our topic today is about importance of that sensibility for kids
我们今天的部分话题是关于儿童情感的重要性

Like what it means to become a lifelong learner
就比如，成为一个终身学习者意味着什么

And tell us a little bit about what skills are what you think is most important for kids today as they're looking forward
同时请你告诉我们，有哪些技能，在未来对孩子们来说是最重要的？

So, I don't... this is not going to sound humble
所以，接下来我要说的...会显得我不太谦虚

and I also think it's true of all of you in this room
并且我觉得在座的各位也是这样的人

I was a really good student, totally, are you guys pretty good students?
我大概是一个很好的学生，你们也是好学生吧？

But what that means is that I was really.. I am really good at sitting in a lecture hall just like this
但我这么说的意思是...就像现在，我真的在学术报告厅很坐得住

listening to someone share information, write it down, and then tell it back to someone later
聆听别人分享他们的信息，并记下来，随后又跟其他人分享

I'm still really good at it and if I were in your seat, I'd really having a good time
我仍然很擅长做这件事，假如我坐在你们的位置，我会非常享受

I'm having a good time up here, too
而且我也非常享受能够坐在这里

But, when I actually went to work with families, builds this the Primary school, build CZI
但是，当我开始和家人（指小扎）合作，创立私人学校和基金会时

I didn't have any of that skill set,
我没有那种技能

No one ever prepared me for that
也从没有人教过我那样做

You know I asked my friends who got MBAs I was like:
后来我问过自己拿了MBA学位的朋友们

-"Did they teach you that?"  -"Yeah"
-“是他们教你这样做的吗？”  -“对啊”

So the core of it is our current systems even if we are wildly successful
所以核心问题是，即使我们现有的教育体制十分成功

don't actually prepare students to do what they need to do in the workplace
但它并没有教会学生们未来在工作岗位上需要的技能

And what are my hope is that
而我的希望是

we actually think about how we can actually change that,
我们能够想想，怎样才能改变这种局面

how we can actually educate our students in a way that prepares them for the real-life workplace
我们怎样才能教会我们的孩子，让他们在参加实际工作前早有准备

And where I've seen it most successfully in K-12 education
目前我见过在这方面最成功的例子是K-12教育机构

and where I get a lot of my inspiration from
我也从那里获得了很多灵感

It's actually a school visit that I did to a group called summit public schools
我曾去过他们一个叫顶峰公立学校的教育机构访学

I walked in to their small school network in the Bay Area and Washington
我曾去过他们在旧金山湾区和华盛顿的多所学校

I walked into the school and I didn't recognize where I was
我走进学校的时候，还以为走错了地方

I saw middle school and high schoolers working in all different types of configurations
我看到初中和高中学生在各种不同的机构中工作

There were groups of kids, problem-solving together
那些一群群的孩子，都在一起解决问题

and teaching each other about how to solve a problem that a teacher had posed to them
并且在互相教对方如何解决老师布置下来的问题

I saw teachers working one-on-one, comes having a mini conference and what a particular kid needed
我看到老师们在一对一地工作，参加小型会议，并满足孩子们的需要

I saw a kid working by themselves on a project that I didn't even recognize as something that you could do in school
我看到孩子们在独立解决一些我觉得不可能出现在学校里的工作项目

He was building... he was working on a web media project
他在搭建...在处理一个网页媒体项目

And my questions like: what is this? where am I?
我当时就懵了：这是什么？我在哪？

Because this is what I see folks actually doing in the workplace
因为这些都是我在办公室才能见到人们做的活

Problem solving on their own, applying their what they're learning in a way that's meaningful in the real world
独立解决问题，在现实生活中应用他们所学的知识

And when they don't know how to do something,
当他们不知道怎么做某些事时

they know how to actually ask for help and get the right resources
他们清楚地知道如何请求协助，并获得有用的资源

and what I realized in that school visit is that
我从那一次访学中意识到的是

If this group had been able to really turn
如果这群人真的能够

flip what the classroom looks like historically to what would be preparing kids for success in the future
将课堂的历史面貌，转变成能为孩子未来的成功做准备的样子

And that's why we've been so proud to be supporting
这就是我们如此自豪地支持这项工作的原因

and sharing their work with even more schools to do what they're...
并且，我们愿意和更多学校一起完成他们正在...

what someone has been doing.
他们一直在做的事

You've get a chance to visit a summit charter school, public school take it there fantastic
你有机会参观一所顶峰契约学校，公立学校，真的太棒了

You all CZI is made some investments in personalized learning what you're talking about
你们整个基金会已经在你所说的个性化教育中做了一些投资

I think we have a video clip that will help folks explain your approach
我这里有一个视频短片，相信能更好得帮助大家了解你的工作

So we'll take a look at that, and then we'll talk about it
我们现在一起来看看，随后我们将继续聊聊这件事

The average kid with the one-to-one tutor
一对一教学的普通孩子

compared to kids in a normal classroom
若与按普通方式教学的孩子相比

Average the 50 percentile kid will outperform 98 percent of the kids in the other class
平均有50%的孩子会比其他班级的98%的孩子表现更好

Okay, now I know it is not about the kids
好的，现在我知道，孩子们的成绩与他们自身条件无关

It's about can I actually create the kinds of learning experiences
而是与我能不能营造出一种经验学习的氛围有关

That let any kid get the kind of benefit that you get when you have a one-on-one tutor
以此让孩子们在一对一教学中获得好处
