Ms.Smith led the workshop with latest updates on Cambridge International AS and A levels, some redevelopments in curriculum syllabus, latest qualification development, as well as projects to support teachers. There was a robust open discussion session after the workshop when teachers and directors from both ALC and external schools shared their insightful and practical ideas with everyone in the workshop.
Mr. McCutcheon gave Ms. Smith a guided tour of the school facilities after the workshop. She was very impressed with the high level of equipment in the classrooms and was particularly interested in interactive whiteboards. The Olympic size swimming pool and the huge gymnasium also impressed her.
However, the areas of the school that most impressed her were the innovations that the school is making in the Arts and Music. She was impressed by our facilities in Digital Art and in our Music Technology suite. Ms. Smithobserved a lesson on composition and enjoyed seeing the students’ efforts towrite their own Viennese Waltz. Ms. Smith also had the opportunity to look in on some of the school’s more unusual classes, Digital Art and Psychology. Ms. Smith was very impressed with the quality of the students’ work, and she also commented on the fluency of the students’ English and the obvious passion that they had for their subjects.
听课结束后,Smith女士与美术和音乐教师进行了愉快的交谈,并表示我校与剑桥国际考试委员会(CAIE)未来在该学科将进一步开展科研和发展的合作。
