Now, let’s listen to the voice of Ms. Lydia.
让我们来听听来自Ms. Lydia的心声。
Three words to describe a day at UISZ? 用3个词形容你在UISZ的一天？
A day full of exploration, reflection, and collaboration — each day focuses on asking questions, thinking about learning, and working together.
探索、反思与协作交织的一天——每日聚焦于提出问题、思考学习过程，并携手共进。
When did you feel “This is holistic IB education” most strongly?
哪一刻让你最强烈地感觉到“这就是IB全人教育”？
During every Inquiry Unit. Each unit supports thinking, student choice, emotional growth, and real-world learning.
在每个探究单元中。每个单元都支持思维发展、学生自主选择、情感成长和现实世界学习。
Share the most amazing “student voice” moment you witnessed this year？
跟我们分享一下你今年最惊艳的一次“学生voice”？
Many moments stood out. At lunchtime, a student said, “I am eating balanced food.” In math, a student said, “These two triangles make a rhombus.” Both showed students speaking and thinking like learners.
许多瞬间令人印象深刻。午饭时，有学生说：“我正在吃营养均衡的食物。”数学课上，另一位学生指出：“这两个三角形组合成一个菱形。”这两次发言都展现了学生以学习者的姿态进行思考与表达。
How long did it take a transfer student to go from “stranger” to “confident”? What happened?
你曾带过转学插班生——从“陌生”到“自信”花了多久？具体发生了什么？
It depends on the student and the family’s support. We pair the new student with a buddy for a week to learn routines and meet classmates. Teachers also check in by test over the next weeks to see how to help. With this support, many students become confident quickly.
这取决于学生自身以及家庭的支持。我们会为新生安排为期一周的同伴结对活动，帮助他们熟悉校园生活并结识同学。在接下来的几周里，教师也会通过测试进行跟进，以确定如何提供帮助。在这样的支持下，许多学生很快就能建立自信。
Which PD session did you immediately apply in class?
来UISZ后，哪项专业培训让你立刻能用回课堂？
All the PD sessions were useful. Some reinforced what we do; others gave ideas to try. I used strategies from several sessions during the year.
所有专业发展课程都很有价值。有些巩固了我们的工作方法，有些则提供了值得尝试的新思路。这一年里，我运用了多个课程中的策略。
Tell how a “failed lesson” was embraced & refined here.
描述一次“失败教案”在这里如何被包容、改进？
When a lesson didn’t work, colleagues and coordinators met to discuss what happened. We shared ideas and built two new, improved versions of the lesson. Collaboration helped us turn a struggle into a better teaching and learning experience.
当某节课效果不佳时，同事和课程协调员们会聚在一起探讨原因。我们集思广益，最终开发出两个改进版的新课程方案。正是这种协作精神，让我们将教学困境转化为更优质的教学实践。
One piece of advice for a new teacher joining us?
如果给“新老师”一句话建议，你会说什么？
See change as an opportunity. Stay curious, enjoy small wins each day. We’re all here together to grow and make a difference for our students.
将变化视为机遇。保持好奇心，享受每日的微小成就。我们同心协力，共同成长，为学生创造改变。
What small joy makes you smile the moment you walk in?
