教育讲座(本周日9/28) Education Seminar

9/28 HXGNY Education Seminar by Dr. Bonnie Liao
Location: B1 room (upstairs registration room)
Time: 10 – 11:30 AM
深思和实践 – 一场意义深远的读书讨论
“David and Goliath” by Malcolm Gladwell华夏大纽约父母子女教育俱乐部热忱邀请您参加读书与实践的讨论。一本好书是可以帮助我们开启新的思维方式，开阔选择视野。廖冰博士将就此书的实践意义，结合多年教育经验，带领讨论如何帮助孩子选择学校和工作。 不论是否读过此书，这场讨论都可以起到提炼精化，点明教育误区，促进对书中概念的消化吸收。Here is a short excerpt from one of the many book reviews – “ Innovation is one of Gladwell’s favorite topics, and the book makes you think differently about what it takes to be innovative. Our cliché about innovation is that someone has to be able to “think outside the box,” but Gladwell spends much more time exploring how adversity can bring forth personalities capable of changing the world. It’s not just the ability to think outside the box that matters — one has to possess a personality capable of persevering through rejection, repudiation, and setbacks in order to make the world work differently. Such personalities are often hardened by setbacks encountered at a young age.” — KENT ANDERSON讲员简介：
廖冰博士: 2007年5月，创建非营利英华国际学校，全美最先融合中英双语与国际化探究式教育相结合的小学； 自2002年5月创建非营利英华语言学校以来，担任校长十年并运用与推广《马立平中文》； 自2004年创建非营利“英华在北京”语言与领导能力暑期学院以来，每年亲自带领美国青少年在北京学习并为贫困学生服务；自2012年创建非营利英华普林斯顿语言与领导能力学院以来，带领来到美国的非英语母语青少年学习与实践并进行野外生存训练；自2004年，担任新州父母子女教育俱乐部总顾问，为华人父母提供一个学习和讨论的平台， 不断提高个人和子女情商，开发智商，增进和子女的交流。2000年罗格斯大学工商管理硕士；1991年休斯顿大学物理博士；1984年北京大学物理学士。2007年从美林证券公司辞职，致力于教授数学及创建非营利学校。目前，在美银美林工作。
