Ms. Valentina He
K, K1 & K2 Homeroom Teacher 小小班、小班及中班班主任
I have been teaching at UISZ for the past four years, during which I have instructed Year 5 students for two years, taught lower primary for one year, and worked with early years students for another year. My extensive experience and expertise in education have enhanced my versatility in teaching across various levels. Currently, in my fifth year at UISZ, I am teaching combined classes within the early years program.
在过去的四年，我一直在UISZ任教，带领五年级学生度过了他们的小学毕业展，并真正深入了解了IB PYP的全部课程。我很高兴能继续在UISZ任教，而且有机会在学生们幼儿时期就加入他们的PYP启程之旅！
I developed a passion for teaching at an early age, beginning my career in the Philippines at the age of 19 while pursuing my graduate degree at Adventist University of the Philippines. My specialization in Biology allowed me to teach science at the high school level, as well as to college students. With over 25 years of experience in education, I have engaged in diverse roles and gained a wealth of experience throughout my career.
我很早就爱上了教学，因为我从19岁就开始在菲律宾教书，同时在菲律宾亚德温斯特大学完成了本科和研究生学位。我主修生物学，在高中阶段教授科学，也向成人学生授课。在过去的25年里，我有过各种各样的经历，并在教育工作中扮演过各种角色。
In 2004, my career took a shift as I began teaching English as an additional language to learners ranging from kindergarten to adult students when I moved to China. During my time in Beijing, I developed a strong passion for Early Years education, acquiring expertise in student-centered Montessori methods. Subsequently, I pursued further training in brain development through courses offered by GymbaROO Australia. For over twelve years, I dedicated my efforts to teaching early learners, enriching their educational experiences and fostering their growth.
2004年，我的职业发生了转变，我开始将英语作为一种额外的语言教给从幼儿园到成年的学习者。正是在北京，我发现了自己对幼儿早期教育的热情，获得了以学生为中心的蒙特梭利和现在的IB学习教育学的专业知识。之后，我积累了12年的幼儿早期教学经验。
Upon my transition to UISZ, I discovered that the International Baccalaureate (IB) pedagogy aligns seamlessly with my educational philosophy. I have a strong passion for technology and design, and the IB curriculum allows me to leverage my expertise in these areas to enhance the learning experiences of my students and contribute positively to the school community.
转到广州增城誉德莱后，我发现国际文凭（IB）教学法与我的教育理念不谋而合。我对技术和设计有着强烈的热情，IB课程让我能够利用自己在这些领域的专业知识，提升学生的学习体验，并为学校社区做出积极贡献。
