武枫新闻丨加方BC课程进行全面改革!
   Beginning in 2017-18 school year, the BC ministry has enforced the reform of curricula. From Grade 10, within two years, the new curricula will reach to all grades in BC high schools. What is the intension of the new curricula and the difference from the former ones?  Find the answers in the following Q&A:

   加拿大BC省从2018年开始进行全面课程改革。改革首先从10年级开始,利用两年的时间渐渐过渡到11和12年级。 学校、家长和社会都很好奇,课程改革的目的是什么,和以往的课程有哪些不同? 希望下列内容能够初步解答大家的疑问:


   Why is curriculum changing?
   为什么课程要变化
   我们生活在一个不断变化的时代,这是一个以技术引领发展的时代,信息繁多,沟通迅达,人与人之间的联络与互动方式也发生了彻底的变化。知识体量增长迅速,创新观念深入人心,一切皆有可能。这,就是我们的学生将要面对的世界。
   Today we live in a state of constant change. It is a technology-rich world, where communication is instant and information is immediately accessible. The way we interact with each other personally, socially, and at work has changed forever. Knowledge is growing and information is changing extremely quickly, creating new possibilities. This is the world our students are entering. 
   为了能让我们的学生更好的应对高速发展的社会需求,加拿大BC省的课程也随之革新。为了研发新课程模式,BC省教育局向加拿大本土和国际上的教育领域的众多专家进行了咨询。专家们认为,为了让学生为未来做好准备,我们的课程必须以学生为中心,具备灵活性,关注学生文学和数学能力,同时帮助学生进行更深层次的学习。

   British Columbia's curriculum is being modernized to respond to this demanding world. To develop new models, the Ministry consulted with education experts both locally and internationally. They agree that to prepare students for the future, the curriculum must be student-centred and flexible, and maintain a focus on literacy and numeracy, while supporting deeper learning. 


   BC新课程在“教什么”和“如何教”这两方面已进行了重新定义 ,给予教师教学上更多的灵活性,为学生提供更多的时间和空间去提高自己的技能,探索和发掘自己的潜能。相对于过去几十年在全球范围内形成的以“背诵”为基础的教育模式,对知识的深入理解和应用是新课程的核心。
   What and how we teach our students has been redesigned to provide greater flexibility for teachers, while allowing space and time for students to develop their skills and explore their passions and interests. The deep understanding and application of knowledge is at the centre of the new model, as opposed to the memory and recall of facts that previously shaped education around the globe for many decades.
   新课程关注为学生搭好坚实的文学和数学能力基础,帮助学生取得成功是我们不断前进的动力。

   Our new curriculum maintains a focus on sound foundations of literacy and numeracy. B.C. students are at the centre of these changes, and ensuring their success continues to be our driving force.


   文学和数学能力基础
   Literacy and Numeracy Foundations
   文学能力是一种理解、批判性分析能力,也是一种为实现目标创造多形式交流的能力,包括口头、书面、视觉、数字和多媒体形式等。它帮助学生将阅读、写作、口语和听力技能应用到不同学科领域中。
   Literacy is the ability to understand, critically analyze, and create a variety of forms of communication, including oral, written, visual, digital, and multimedia, to accomplish one’s goals. Literacy helps students apply reading, writing, speaking and listening skills across a variety of subject areas.
   数学能力是理解和应用数学概念、过程和技能来解决问题,并在各种情况下包括现实生活情境中做出决定的能力。数学能力测试不仅评估学生的数学课程,同时考察学生在整个教育过程中各学科的学习。
   Numeracy is the ability to understand and apply mathematical concepts, processes, and skills to solve problems and make decisions in a variety of situations, including real-life scenarios. Numeracy assessment looks at learning which has taken place throughout the student’s education, not only in mathematics, but across various subjects. 
   文学和数学能力是所有学科学习的基础,尽管这两项能力经常和语言与算数课程相联系,但实际它们应用于所有学科领域。

   Literacy and Numeracy are fundamental to all learning. While they are commonly associated with language learning and mathematics, literacy and numeracy are applied in all areas of learning. 


   以概念为基础、能力为导向的课程
   Concept-based, Competency-driven Curriculum
   教育专家认为21世纪教育中最重要的两个特征是以概念为基础的教学方式和对能力发展的关注。新课程结合这两项来培育学生,进行更深入更综合性的学习。
   B.C.'s new curriculum brings together two features that most educators agree are essential for 21st-century learning: a concept-based approach to learning, and a focus on the development of competencies, to foster deeper, more transferable learning.
   “知道”(内容学习),“理解”(思考和创意)和“应用”(学术能力),这些方法因为共同关注学生的学习主动性,彼此间产生相互补充作用。学生在实践中学习比被动地听、读效果更好。同样,基于概念的学习和能力的发展能让学生参与到真正的任务中,把学习与实践联系起来。
   These approaches complement each other because of their common focus on active engagement of students. Deeper learning is better achieved through “doing” than through passive listening or reading. Similarly, both concept-based learning and the development of competencies engage students in authentic tasks that connect learning to the real world. 


灵活的学习环境

Flexible Learning Environments
   学习行为不只是在教室里发生,它可以在任何地方进行。很多学校以创造性的方式,通过对时间和空间的探索创建出学习环境。学习和技术领域的整合也为教师校开辟了创造性使用时间和空间的大门,以此来满足学生的需求和兴趣。
   Learning can take place anywhere, not just in classrooms. Many schools and teachers create learning environments that explore the use of time and space in creative ways. The integration of areas of learning and technology also have opened the door for teachers and schools to approach the use of time and space in creative ways – ways that adapt to students’ needs and interests. 
   学习标准是在从学生学习的角度内进行描述,对老师的课堂管理、学校管理及教学方式没有具体要求。学习标准定义了要教什么,但是没有指定采用什么样的教学方式、在什么场地和什么时间。
   Although the learning standards are described within areas of learning, there is no requirement for teachers to organize classrooms, schools or instruction in this manner. In effect, the Ministry of Education defines the “what” to teach but not the “how” to organize the time, space or methods to teach it. 
   注重个性化和灵活性的课程结构能够让不同年级的学生在一个课堂中进行学习,这样的课堂设置能为教师提供机会发展思维模式,将所有学生们视为一群有各种需求和兴趣的学习者。不同年级应根据不同情况调整自己的课程从而适应教学需要。
   The focus on personalization and the flexible structure of the curriculum support the configuration of combined grade classrooms.  Classes of students of more than one grade provide opportunities for teachers to develop a mindset that sees all the students as a group of learners with a range of needs and interests. Multi-grade programs should find a comfortable fit with the curriculum. 
毕业考试
Graduation Assessments
   毕业考试随着新课程设置而调整。 根据最新的毕业要求,2018年入学的学生必须完成两门省考才能毕业。两门考试看重对读写能力和数学能力的展示和应用。  
   Graduation assessments are changing to align with the new curriculum. As part of the updated graduation requirements, students in the 2018 Graduation Program will have to complete two provincial assessments. They will focus on the demonstration and application of numeracy and literacy. 

17-18学年开始实施数学能力考试
· The Numeracy Assessment will be implemented in the 2017/18 school year.                                        
19-20学年开始实施文学能力考试
· The Literacy Assessment will be implemented in the 2019/20 school year.   
   高三语言课程省考将取消。直到19-20学年全面实施文学能力考试为止,高三英语及交际英语会考将继续进行,并占高三语言课程总成绩的40%。
· The Language Arts 12 exams will be phased out as the Literacy Assessment is introduced. Until the Literacy Assessment is fully implemented in the 2019/20 school year, the English 12 and Communication 12 exams will remain in place and will continue to be 40% of the final, blended mark for Language Arts 12 courses. 
18-19学年毕业的学生将学习高三语言课程并参加会考,从而达到相应毕业要求。

· Students graduating in the 2018/19 school year will take a Language Arts 12 course and associated provincial exam to satisfy graduation requirements for the 2018 Graduation Program.

   现在所有学科老师都以发展学生核心竞争优势为中心设计自己的课堂。作为学习主体的学生,也要意识到这些能力元素,找到自己的优势和短板,有意识的提高自己的综合竞争力。 在枫叶的每一间教室,你都能看到下面的这张图表,它提醒学生们设定自己的目标,并在每天的学习和生活中全心投入,积极进取。
   Currently in all classes, each subject teacher is trying to design their classes to develop students core competence. Students, the of learning, are expected to be aware of the competences and find their strengths and shortcomings to work on. At Maple Leaf in every classroom, the following chart is seen on the wall. This will remind students to set their goal and stay engaged in class and school life.
