关于教育委员会
我们很高兴报告大家，教育委员会的筹备工作基本就绪。我们很感激老师和家长的大力支持，也感谢家长会的协助和董事会的支持。

设立宗旨
教育委员会做为智囊团给校委会教育决策出谋划策, 研究并协助制定中长期教育工作规划，协助校委会建立科学的教育管理体系,以期不断提高教学质量, 保证教学工作的连贯性和持续性。

委员会职责
• 规划推荐中长期教学目标和计划, 增进学年间的连续性。
• 研究探讨中文教育中教材，教学教法，评估等相关的课题。
• 汇集反应老师家长对教学工作的意见和建议

委员会组成
教育委员会目前设教材，教法和评估三个工作小组。成员由老师家长自愿报名和校委会推举产生。

主任：尹永义
教材小组：林利，曹旭初，黄岳, 鞠晓鹏, 林宇，徐俊, 史林
教法小组：张明宝，李谦云, 权颖，都文伟, 周薇
评估小组：林骏，王明宇, 杨志耕，许婷, 应龙飞

每个成员都可以对三个小组的工作表达意见和建议，重要决议也都由全体委员会讨论决定。由于今年中文教育推行多元化，教育委员会现阶段的工作集中在语言教育上。将来随着需要会做调整比如增加文化课老师代表。

运作方式

教育委员会会议总结:The education excellence committee had the 1st general meeting last Thursday and a follow-up meeting last Sunday. The meeting was very productive and effective. As a summary, we discussed:
1. Recap our education committee structure, tasks, and get to know our members
2. The current status of our education (教材, 教法, 评估)
3. Brainstorm, and discuss projects / education events and projected working progress (timeline)
In addition to our general meetings, we plan to have more individual group meetings, either teleconference or face-to-face for the detailed discussions/researches for each task. We target to have concrete recommendations and reports from教材, 教法, and 评估groups within the coming three months. If you have any suggestions and/or questions, please contact anyone in the committee or launch school education forum to discuss. Please welcome these volunteers for joining the committee to make their tremendous efforts and spend their valuable time to contribute HXNY education improvement!

Education Excellence Committee Update:

The Education Excellence Committee had two group meetings last week. The textbook team group held a very productive meeting, which covered three topics. First, the evaluation of textbook systems. Team members were assigned to review Standard Chinese, Meizhou Chinese, and Ma Liping, along with other alternative textbooks. The team will use the attached assessment template as a framework http://hxcsny.org/e107_files/public/1324596778_114_FT4484_textbook_evaluation_template.xlsx. Second, the meeting discussed Reading/Practice Books/on-line Resources. The team will examine some suggested websites and provide detailed descriptions of them for easy access/usage. Third, the team had a brief discussion on HXCS training, which will benefit the textbook team. If parents have any suggestions on the above three topics, please feel free to email education.textbook@hxcsny.org. textbook_evaluation_template.xlsx

The assessment team had a group meeting too last week. The team reviewed the progress of the assessment efforts and laid out a short-term plan for the school year. A few board members and parents also participated in the discussion. As a critical step of the assessment project, we will discuss the Overall Learning Goal of our education program during the first week of January 2012. Team members are soliciting input from teachers, parents and the board members. In the attached assessment report, you may find a draft of overall goal, and grade-by-grade learning objectives of Standard Chinese, which serves as a reference. You may also find these documents from the link http://hxny.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4535. Please direct any comments to assessment team at education. assessment@hxcsny.org by Jan. 5, 2012.

The teaching method team had a group meeting recently. The team will focus on 2-3 key topics such as师资培训, 分班和班级之间的衔接，增进学生学习兴趣/改善学习方法。The objective is to come up with recommendations to the school by the end of January 2012 on these 2-3 topics. The team had a brief but productive discussion on 师资培训. One suggestion is to hold regular informal 1-hour discussion sessions for teachers of similar grades during the culture class period on regular school days. Teachers attending these sessions will be compensated for 1 teaching hour per discussion session. Teachers can share ideas, best practices, extra reading materials, and other topics of mutual interest. Teachers can also take turns to give simulated class lectures. The nice thing about these informal sessions is that they take place during regular school days, easy to arrange and topics are closely related to actual class room teaching. The teaching method group leader Mingbao plans to have weekly teleconferences after the New Year. Of course, please feel free to share your ideas at any time via education.teaching@hxcsny.org.
