Day3
学校提升计划培训
School Improvement, Data and PD
定义和重定义学校的提升计划，是Dr. Vigil带来的第一个培训内容。管理者围绕着学校目前最关注的问题进行了讨论，如：如何招到优质生源、如何体现教师职业发展、如何进行新老师培训等进行了讨论。Dr. Vigil提到，管理者需要不定时地反思，把学校提升当作是首要职责。在制定提升计划的时候，需要考虑课程实施、学校环境、关注家长的意见，制定3年的有效计划。提升计划在执行时会涉及到变化，变化需要时间，且有一定阻碍，管理者应该关注如何激励教职员工，让大家都目标一致，描绘实施路径。同时，在计划实施的过程中需要实施和评估。

接着，Dr. Vigil为大家深入浅出地说明了数据收集在学校提升中起的作用。他提到学校管理者需要正确使用数据，通过收集的数据进行长期地比较。同时，培训还邀请了三位美国优秀中小学校长座谈，他们从建校、学术、教师管理运作、美国教育发展趋势等方面进行了分享。美国校长的分享具有重要的借鉴意义，他们丰富的管理和教学经验，处理校园突发状况的能力都令人敬佩。教师的职业发展也是学校的头等大事，Dr. Vigil鼓励校长们为教师学习创造一个良好的环境，开展合作式的学习。

Day4
引导式谈话技巧培训
Coach Conversation
第三天的培训涉及了21世纪核心素养、美国共同核心州立标准、KWHLAQ教学法、项目制学习、引导式谈话技巧等内容。因涉及的培训内容比较专业，Ms. Trapp请各位校长在开始培训内容前，两天之内读完100页的书籍Coach Conservation，这对于还处于倒时差的校长们来讲是一个非常大的挑战。
紧张的课程从上午8点准时开始，Ms. Trapp请各位管理者分成小组讨论，什么是21世纪的学习？校长们积极踊跃发言，列举了21世纪学习特点。随后Ms. Trapp用她满腔的激情给大家分享了4Cs（Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration）核心素养、KWHLAQ教育法，希望大家将这些方法灵活地运用到教学管理中。同时，Ms. Trapp还无私地分享了她根据KWHLAQ教育法原创的课程实施思路框架，供各位中国校长参考。
KWHLAQ教育法：
K: Know我知道什么
W: Want我想知道什么
H: How我怎么找出答案
L: Learn我学到了什么
A: Action我采取了什么行动
Q: Question我还有什么问题
随后，Ms. Trapp为大家分享了美国共同核心州立标准，校长们基于自己的理解，利用KWHLAQ教育法进行小组研究。美国共同核心州立标准Common Core State Standards (CCSS) 涵盖了幼儿园到G12（相当于国内高三）各个年级，包括了数学与英语通识两个基础学科的课程标准体系。其目的在于培养有批判性思维和创新能力的21世纪美国公民，让孩子们在高中毕业时为上大学和就业做好充分的准备，这一标准还将确保学生从一个校区转学到另一校区时，可以顺利衔接。
紧接着，Ms. Trapp介绍了项目制学习方法Project Based Learning (PBL)，并结合书籍Coach Conservation讲解了领导力和引导式谈话技巧两部分内容，让管理者审视自己的管理风格，有助于提升管理水平。引导式谈话技巧从聆听和谈话出发，通过场景模拟，训练校长的谈话水平。

The fourth-day training involved several topics including 4Cs, Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Project Based Learning (PBL), KWHLAQ Method, and Coach Conversation. Ms. Trapp, the lecturer, has delivered detailed presentations on these education concepts and encouraged everyone to apply them to teaching and management. Before class, everyone was also told to finish a 100-page book called Coach Conversation. Although the training was much challenging and intensive, all members thought it was rewarding.
与此同时，本次培训也得到了王总的高度评价，下面是王总对康德教育校长领航班各位同事的期盼和祝福。
