在世外，老师也通过不断地学习来丰富自己，充实自己，使自己成为一名终生学习者。在融合部，我们也将培训与教研作为教学工作中的重点。在开学伊始，老师们将了解到一学期的培训计划，并可以再根据自身的需求进行微调。
Staff at SWFLPS are encouraged to continue their learning through regular training sessions and through collaboration. There is a full semester’s training schedule mapped out at the beginning of the semester related to staff training needs and wants. This is determined on a week-by-week basis by the leadership team and subject coordinators
FULL STAFF TRAINING全员培训
从培训内容来看，全员教师培训可以分为以下几个类别：1. 业务培训：这类培训主要围绕教师的工作职责和业务技能展开，包括单元备课、课堂教学、教育管理、评估与考核、信息化教学等方面。2. 学科培训：这类培训主要关注教师在特定学科领域的知识和能力的提升，比如数学、语文、英语等学科的教学方法和资源的开发利用等方面的培训。3. 安全培训：这类培训主要着重培养教师的安全意识和应急处理能力，包括学校安全、校园环境安全、安全事故的处理等方面的培训。比如融合部所有教师都完成First Aid的所有培训。4. 管理培训：这类培训主要关注教师在教育管理领域的能力提升，包括班级管理、人际沟通等方面的培训。我们会通过游戏化模拟，让教师团队之间增进彼此的了解与信任。
The leadership team has determined times where the whole staff – foreign and Chinese, meet together regularly to train. The subjects that have been covered previously have been varied and are chosen as a response to people’s needs. Subjects have included special guest speakers informing us about APPS that are user friendly for use on the iPads in the classrooms, how to deal with student with varying needs and strategies to relate to and control students. The leadership team responded to teachers needs when they wanted to do some basic first aid. The teachers had experienced instructors who taught them how to respond to the types of emergencies in the classroom and the yard. All teachers in the Fusion Department are now accredited First Aiders.
这其中尤为重要的就是业务培训中的每六周一次大单元备课，以及每两周一次的双周单元备课。我们通过不断地打磨与商讨教学内容与方法，使我们的超学科单元更具挑战性和综合性。
The teams also meet each six weeks to collaboratively plan their Units of Inquiry. As a full staff we can find out what the next unit entails, offer suggestions to improve the unit and involve the specialists to ensure that the unit is transdisciplinary.
SUBJECT TRAININGS学科培训
在学科培训中，各科大组长除了组织各科老师不断研学教学内容与方法之外，还组织听评课活动，通过固定时间内的课堂展示，引导教师们针对研究主题方面提出建设性意见与建议，并将有效的教学策略运用于自身的课堂中。如英语，教研课包括了如何教授拼写，如何使用ipad收集学生课堂数据等；数学中老师们就如何“在数学课中使用可视化思维工具”进行了深入的研究；语文课中则以四年级的课文来作为导入，引发学生对于UOI“价值观”这一单元的深入思考。
Each subject coordinator has dedicated time so that people can plan, learn strategies or observe lessons. The English coordinator has been demonstrating different strategies to introduce spelling and as a result several teachers trialed the strategy. Professional discussions while developing lesson saw these teachers adjusting and refining their strategy. The Math coordinator works closely with all math teachers developing planners and discussing strategies ensuring that all content is covered. The Mandarin coordinator leads their teams in discovering texts aligned with the Units of Inquiry and they collaboratively plan these in line with the Chinese National Curriculum.
规律、有效及有趣的培训对教师来说是尤为重要的。这不仅是对个人教学素养的提升，更是为学生提供更好教学质量的准备。要成为终生学习者，我们永远在路上!
Another aspect of Teacher training is regular observations. Teachers can observe others classes and respond by providing constructive feedback. Teachers have observed behavior management and various strategies that are in use.
Once a week the foreign teachers meet to discuss and collaborate on various subjects. These include planning and writing planners, discussing strategies to improve student learning and aspects of the inquiry cycle. Teachers respond positively to all training and take so much back to their classrooms.
TRAINING and DEVELOPMENT is extremely important. Teachers must be encouraged to improve and this is done through regular reflections, training and observations. Each week we see teachers learning and improving their teaching. They are life long learners and can only improve so that our students benefit!!
