停课不停学| SHSID

Spring 2020 is coming. The students and teachers of SHSID primary and middle school have embarked on an unprecedented semester. In response to the direction of the Ministry of Education on “Combating the Epidemic, Suspension of Schools but Not of Learning”, all our primary and middle school teachers have designed and developed various meaningful online teaching activities and projects, based on the characteristics of different subjects and of the students in different educational stages. It is these collaborative learning activities that connect our students and teachers around the world.

Interactions

All the primary students at SHSID have put great enthusiasm and efforts into the E-learning on the LC platform starting from March 2. Every child has adapted to this exciting and effective new learning experience very quickly. So far, almost everyone is able to watch the videos on different subjects and hand in homework online all by themselves. That is also a really valuable opportunity to raise the students’ independent learning skills.

Most of the students have raised the good habit of getting up early in the morning, which plays a crucial part in preparing them for their normal school lives later on. Most of the parents think the LC E-learning platform is easy to operate and suitable for the young children because of the funny design on every subject’s content.

Many kinds of interactionssuch as Sing With Me and Let’s Make The Experiment made the online course really attractive for the primary students. Some eyesight protection tips and exercises on PE is suitable for the young children’s E-learning experience as well.

feedback from parents

The primary teachers have thought of many interesting and effective ways of communicating with the students as a team. Some teachers did online talent showthrough Zoom meeting and other teachers called the parents together for an online parent meetto help the parents solve all kinds of problems on E-learning. We all believe that all the primary teachers, students, and their parent will work together with love and faith to continue with our school fun on line!

Communication

In fourth and fifth grades, a series of interesting, interactive, and disciplinary online courses have been designed according to the needs of the students. Utilizing the technical advantages of the LC platform, a unified curriculum frameworkhas been constructed, and a friendly interface has been carefully designed to facilitate students’ search and participation in curriculum learning.

The course is rich in teaching content and diversified means. On the premise of solid basic knowledge, knowledge-based gamesections have been added, such as passing the quizzes and story-line tandem answers. Students have built their own learning communities through the online platform. When encountering online learning problems, they can use the message function on the platform to directly contact subject teachers, or they can post in course Q&A for help.

The autonomous learning abilityof students has been improving. According to the data feedback, students’ participation in online learning is very high, and everyone participates independently. Parents and students also expressed high satisfaction with online courses through questionnaires. We encourage students to show their online learning results through forum exchanges and to screen out outstanding works and projects through online voting, which improves students’ enthusiasm for learning.

Meanwhile, there is no shortage of offline teacher-student communication. We regularly hold online class meetingsto share recent learning experiences. Students formed study groups on their own and conducted topical learning seminarseach week to help each other solve learning problems. Facing the new challenge of online teaching, our teachers have also formed an effective learning team. Teachers continuously optimize their self-knowledge system, cut through obstacles, cooperate, overcome all difficulties, record high-quality teaching videos, and beautify the course interface in order to improve students’ learning experience of online courses.

Connection

The unexpected COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted the pace of school education nationwide. Teachers at SHSID Pudong Campus have already taken action to create teaching plans and prepare online teaching materials in advance for students.

On March 2, the first day of the official online education, Ms. Liu, director of Pudong campus, delivered a video message to encourage students to keep regular hours, study hard, and be brave to meet challenges and solve problems. On the LinkedClassroom platform, students can learn with teachers through the video classes and numerous types of learning content and resources. In addition to the academic courses, there are also interesting sports games, music and dance learning, creative art crafts, computer design games and other fun optional courses on the platform for students to explore at home in their free time. Meanwhile, homeroom teachers are also trying every means to organize and carry out all kinds of activities to strengthen class cohesion and connection, such as class meeting on ZOOM, weekly catch-up with students, fun PG activities and more, which students all actively engage in.

Even if there is distance between students and teachers, their hearts are always together. “The online classes are quite good!” “The activities you and the other teachers designed are fun and interesting!” Encouraged by students and parents, we have more confidence and enthusiasm to provide better online education. We hope we can meet together at Pudong campus soon!

Sharing

While the whole country is united to fight against COVID-19, the teachers of SHSID middle school are using actual actions to practice "ensuring learning undisrupted when classes are disrupted". In order to ensure that students can continue to obtain high-quality learning resources, all the teachers worked together to adjust the teaching content and curriculum framework day and night and used the LinkedClassroom online teaching platform to carry out online education and teaching in the new semester. Guided by the concept of cultivating independent learners, teachers have built a learning framework that can guide students to learn independently, ensuring that none of our students are left behind, and every subject has prepared a variety of learning content. By the time of publication, there were more than 150 online courses in all grades. At the same time, the courses are constantly being optimized and grown and the school courses will be fully launched in the shortest time. Let us enjoy these courses together.

In order to ensure that students can study at home better, the homeroom teachers and grade teachers insisted on daily P&B classes and weekly YD classes. In addition, each grade also organized rich and interesting activities.

In the 6th grade, two forums were designed on health knowledge and good article sharing. Students can post their thoughts and feelings during the holiday on the forums. Active online interaction not only decreases the distance between teachers and students, but also opens up a new world of homeroom activities. In order to encourage students to exercise a lot while studying, the 6th grade teachers also launched a Do You Dare To Challenge teacher-studentcompetition. For example, in the recent week, many students have challenged Mr. Mathis who did 16 push-ups in 30 seconds!

The 7th grade teachers organized a variety of activities, such as the Chinese and English essay competitionwith the theme of "unusual vacations", the class logo and class name design competition to enhance the sense of collective honor of the students, 30-second rope jumping competition to encourage students to do exercise, a book report every two weeks, and the exhibition of outstanding works of students' to enhance their artistic and cultural development. Teachers not only prepared various badges for students to enhance their sense of accomplishment at home, but also prepared eye exercises to protect their eyesight. The 7th grade students responded positively at home by not only becoming better independent learners in their studies, but also developing their ability in all aspects.

In the 8th grade, except for the schoolwork, students also actively conceived various novel ideas and continued to carry out service learningactivities. For example, the Story Brothers and Sisters service learning group continued to tell stories to students on the public account by recording audio stories. 8 (1) Chloe created the After-Glow service learning group to share colorful articles such as original reading notes, film reviews, travel notes, etc. on the public account. SHSID Gazette's group members are innovative and plan to publish an electronic newspaper to share interesting knowledge and insights for students and bring joy and laughter to their study life at home.

Teachers and classmates have gained growth from the online education and teaching. They faced challenges and difficulties, but they actively responded to the challenges. We believe that with the joint efforts of teachers and students throughout the period, we will create a better future.

Online teaching is an effective practice for all students and teachers of SHSID primary and middle school to cultivate responsible global citizens and independent learners. We hope that we can meet each other soon on the beautiful campus of SHSID!

四五年级学段针对学生群体的特点，设计打造了一系列趣味性强、互动性强、具有学科特色的线上教学课程。利用LC平台的技术优势，构建了统一课程框架，精心设计友好界面，便于学生搜索并参与课程学习。课程教学内容丰富、手段多样，在牢固基础知识的前提下，增设了知识型游戏板块，比如闯关答题、故事情节串联型答题等。学生通过网络平台自我搭建起学习型社区，在遇到线上学习问题时，能够利用平台的消息界面直接与学科教师取得联系，也可以在学科答疑室发帖求助，锻炼了学生的自主学习能力。从数据反馈结果看，学生的线上学习参与度很高，实现了人人自主参与；通过问卷调查，学生和家长对线上课程满意度高，这也是对教师们辛勤付出的极大肯定。我段还鼓励学生通过论坛交流的形式发布自己线上学习的成果，并通过在线投票展示优秀作业和课题，提高了学生的学习积极性。线下的师生交流也不能少，我段定期召开线上班级见面会，分享近期的学习心得；学生自主组成学习小组，每周开展主题学习研讨，互帮互助解决学习问题。面对线上教学这一全新挑战，我段教师也组建形成了高效的学习型协作团队。教师们不断优化自我知识体系，过关斩将，分工合作，克服一切困难录制出高质量高水平的教学视频，美化课程界面，以提升学生在线学习体验为一切出发点。

“停课不停学”，上海中学国际部浦东校区的老师们也早已行动起来提前备课,联系学生,制定各类在线学习计划。

3月2日，正式开启线上教学的第一天，刘芳主任结合疫情，传递自己的声音勉励孩子们按时作息，认真完成学习任务，并借由这场疫情提高自己直面解决问题与应对挑战的能力。各科老师充分利用LinkedClassroom线上平台，通过自制视频课、在线讨论等形式积极开展线上教学，为学生答疑解惑。孩子们根据清晰的操作指令有条不紊地自主完成各种学习任务，积极上传自己的作业成果。除了学业类课程和练习外，学校还提供了丰富的兴趣体验课程Choose Your Own Adventure, 有体育活动、音乐舞蹈、油画、插花、科技小制作、法语入门等各类学科的“宅家延展”，学生们都积极参与其中。同时，班主任老师还积极想办法利用各类平台和手段组织开展班会、小组分享、成长教育等活动增强班级的凝聚力。你看，Zoom里的班会课热闹无比，LC论坛里老师和学生互动频繁，Weekly Catch-Up让学生体会到老师的关爱，各个年级精心准备的PG课让学生在掌握学科知识的同时也不放松对个人全方面成长的要求。

虽然学生和老师身处屏幕两端，但心一直在一起。“老师们设计的网课太有趣了！”“学校的网课一点也不像临时组织的，感觉精心安排了很长时间，老师们都辛苦了！”收到了很多学生和家长的肯定和鼓励后，老师们也更有信心和热情去不断改进我们的线上课程。我们期待着，能在蓓蕾绽放，落英缤纷的仲春，与同学们在美丽的校园见面！

全国上下团结一致抗击新冠肺炎，上海中学国际部初中段的老师们也在用实际行动践行“停课不停学”。为了保证同学们在疫情期间能够继续获得优质的学习资源，各部门各学科通力合作，老师们日以继夜不断调整教学内容与课程框架，借助LinkedClassroom在线教学平台开展新学期的网上教育教学工作。在培养“独立自主的学习者”理念的引领下，老师们构建了能够引导学生自主学习的学习框架，确保“一个都不落下”，各学科准备了丰富多彩的学习内容。截止到发稿前初中段在线课程数已超过150多门，同时各课程还在不断地优化与增长中，在最短的时间内将学校课程全面上线，让我们一起来欣赏一下吧。

为保障同学们更好地在家学习，班主任们开动脑筋，各显神通，坚持进行每天的晨会课和每周一次的YD课，除此之外，各年级组也组织了丰富有趣的活动。

6年级设计了两个关于健康知识和美文分享的论坛。学生们可以将自己在假期内的所思所感都发布在论坛上，线上的积极互动不仅安抚了老师同学之间对彼此的想念，更开创了班级工作的新天地。为了鼓励学生在假期学习之余多多锻炼，6年级还发起了“你敢挑战吗”的师生竞赛。比如刚刚结束的这周里，就有很多学生纷纷向在30秒内完成16个俯卧撑的Mr. Mathis发起挑战！

7年级组织了丰富多彩的活动，主题为“不同寻常的假期”的中英文征文比赛，增强同学们集体荣誉感的班级logo及班级名称设计大赛，鼓励同学们多运动的30秒跳绳比赛，鼓励同学们多读书的每两周读书报告，增强学生艺术文化发展的优秀作品展。老师们不仅为同学们准备了各种勋章，增强同学们在家学习的成就感，也为了保护同学们视力而准备了眼保健操。7年级的同学们在家中积极响应，不仅在学习上成为了更好的独立自主学习者，更是在老师们的组织下，德智体美劳全面发展。

8年级同学在完成课业学习之余，还积极地构思各种新颖想法，继续开展服务学习活动。例如，“故事哥哥姐姐”服务学习小组通过录制有声故事，在公众号上继续为同学们绘声绘色地讲故事。8（1）班Chloe同学，创建了After-Glow服务学习小组，在公众号上分享同学们原创的读书笔记、影评、游记等丰富多彩的文章。SHSID Gazette的小组成员们推陈出新，打算出版一期电子报纸，为同学们分享有趣的知识和见闻，给同学们在家的学习生活带来愉快和笑声。

老师和同学们在此次线上教育教学中收获了成长与锻炼，面对挑战迎难而上，积极响应“停课不停学”的号召，保质保量完成线上课程。相信在全段师生的共同努力下，我们同舟共济，共创未来。

这次的线上教学是国际部初小全体师生对培养“有责任的世界公民”、“独立自主的学习者”理念的一次有效的践行。让我们期待在不久的将来在美丽的上中校园的重逢！
