1）
I’d
like to choose a kindergarten section of an international school in Beijing and
would like to be the director of it. To be the director, I need to further
explore the management skills in such an organization, get myself familiar to
the curriculum, and the concepts and best practices of international education.
To my understanding, international education doesn’t mean how many foreign
children we have or how many languages we provide in the kindergarten, it is
more than to cultivate the students to be international mindedness, to become a
global citizen, and they understand their own culture well.
2）
Second
choice is to fin a role of being a coordinator or manager of a teacher training
program for the national educational department in early childhood education.
As I know, the general quality of the practitioners in this filed is not high,
and there is a big needs for teacher training. I love to coordinate such a
program to get more and more people benefit from it, and the children and their
families will benefit from it.
3）
The
third choice is to open a kindergarten as I like. I can realize my own
educational philosophies and understandings through operation. It needs me to
know better how to motivate people and work for the same goal.
Hi Xia,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again as we finish our program. I think opening up your own Kindergarten program is wonderful and with the skills and knowledge you have obtained will be a wonderful experience and yes you would be able to run the program as you like. A dream for me would to literally visit an international child care center, preschool or kindergarten program just so I could see how different or alike they are in comparison to the U.S. Thanks for sharing your blog!
Xia,
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that you are thinking of opening a kindergarten program in your city that is a good idea. I agree with you that teaching international children is to help them understand their own culture and the ones around them. I see no problem after you finish this program for you to be a good manager. Throughout the program we have learned many skills that will help us become good managers. Training is also fun, I have done it myself and I have enjoyed it very much. To see people actually get what you are teaching them is a lot of fun!
