Elegant table flowers, exquisite pastries, delicious fruits, gorgeous venue... Is this a party?
No, this is a parent-teacher meeting being held at Wanhui School in Dujiangyan City.
The meeting was chaired by Li Sheng, the principal of Dujiangyan Wanhui School. Li Dong, vice chairman and secretary-general of the Finland-China Education Association, an expert from the Finnish International Education Innovation Institute, a well-known curriculum and education quality assessment expert, and the president of Chengtou Wanhui Education Group, was giving a speech.
Parents gave a special lecture on "Combining Finnish and Chinese education to cultivate future cutting-edge talents".
Regarding the cultivation of children, Principal Li Dong pointed out that Dujiangyan Wanhui School emphasizes elite education, cooperation and support for students with learning difficulties.
Children in Wanhui will have a wealth of extracurricular activities, because teachers will adhere to the philosophy of "less is more" in their teaching, focusing on integrating all subjects in lesson preparation, so that students can truly learn by doing and achieve the goal of effective learning.
Principal Li Dong gave detailed answers to the issues about teaching philosophy and curriculum that parents are most concerned about.
He elaborated on the six major innovations of Dujiangyan Wanhui School: innovation in learning methods, innovation in learning courses, innovation in learning environment, innovation in school culture, innovation in school management methods and evaluation, and innovation in support systems.
The new educational concept requires teachers to gradually shift from focusing on content teaching to cultivating learning abilities, so that students' knowledge systems can achieve vertical coherence and horizontal integration, and cultivate outstanding future talents.
Talking about the future development of education, Principal Li Dong mentioned that children’s future is unpredictable. He suggested that parents should not dictate that students follow the teacher’s or parents’ ideas to follow the so-called path to success, but should be guided by the students’ own abilities and interests.
Help children design their lives in the next 20, 30 or even 40 years.
The realization of this goal requires cultivating children's cross-functional abilities, which mainly include: the ability to think and learn to learn, the ability to actively search and select information needed for learning, the ability to select key materials in learning information, the ability to choose effective methods and be independent
The ability to determine a study plan, the ability to use effective methods to master the content learned, and the ability to apply learned knowledge and skills in appropriate situations.
Only when children have the ability to transcend and learn to actively acquire knowledge can they become true elites in the future world.
At the end of the lecture, Principal Li Dong demonstrated the Finnish home economics class, using lesson examples to show the physical and chemical knowledge that children can gain from the simple matter of "washing clothes".
Home economics will also be a featured course at Wanhui School.
Principal Li Dong finally hopes that parents will be qualified "supportive" parents and establish an effective parent-child relationship.
In order to let parents understand how the school's educational vision of "every scene and thing has taste, and every plant and tree educates people" is realized, President Li Dong also led the parents to visit the campus and introduced the school's education in detail to them.
The lessons behind all the buildings, plants and how the school practices the educational philosophy of “learning by doing”.
Hermes Square has all kinds of sports facilities, including basketball, football, tennis, badminton, table tennis...the rich activity design is enough to ensure the healthy growth of children.
The small water channel next to the playground is a biology and physics classroom for students. Here they will observe how dragonflies lay eggs, explore the water cycle, and discuss how to protect water resources.
All kinds of flowers and trees in the green belt will also be claimed by each class. Students will grow with these lives, feel the changes of life, and discover the mysteries of nature.
▲Lotus on campus ▲Home Economics Classroom ▲Golden Wood Workshop (Part) ▲Golden Wood Workshop (Part) Home economics and metal woodworking classes are unique courses of Wanhui.
We hope that Wanhui’s children will not only learn, but also learn how to live.
The home economics classroom is fully equipped with refrigerators, storage cabinets, ovens, microwaves, induction cookers, cloakrooms, and lockers.
Home economics courses are not just about cooking skills. The school integrates etiquette training into home economics classes. Here, children will learn Chinese and Western dining etiquette, learn about human nutrition intake, and learn about physical health management.
Clothes cleaning, furniture cleaning, and debris storage will also be included in home economics courses to teach children how to live.
Wanhui Education focuses on developing and discovering the potential of students. It combines Finnish teaching concepts and moves the factory into the campus. It builds the largest metal and wood workshop in a single school in the world with an area of ??nearly 2,000 square meters. It is used to offer metalworking and woodworking courses, which directly increases the number of students.
Practical venues, etc., allow students to "learn by doing" and learn through inquiry in every class.
In order to let the children eat fresh, the school's meat, vegetables and fruits are delivered by Yonghui Supermarket's "fresh" logistics chain. The head chef personally inspects and receives the goods, and insists on ensuring that the ingredients are clear every day and every meal.
In order to ensure that children can eat safely, the school has made every effort to build a "bright kitchen and bright stove", and monitor the kitchen work with cameras throughout the process without any carelessness.
In order to ensure that the children eat nutritiously, the school hires national top chefs as head chefs. They do everything from the purchase of ingredients to the preparation of meals, from pastries to pasta, strictly control the food, and prepare loving and conscientious food for the teachers and students of Wanhui.
At the meeting, Qiu Yufeng, the vice principal of the primary school department, sorted out and explained the interest courses that the school will soon open.
Interest classes are designed to enrich student curriculum and develop children's potential.
