普莉希拉·陈：终身学习才能持续前进

　　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 humble¹

　　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 core² 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 inspiration³ 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 summit⁴ 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 configurations⁵

　　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 teaching⁶ each other about how to solve a problem that a teacher had posed⁷ 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 learning⁸ 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

　　flip⁹ 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
