学习需中国化(一)。老马感慨说，这次培训是他参加过的诸多海外培训中内容最充实、培训最扎实、感触最多多的一次。的确，良好的开端是成功的一半，我们也为Jessica的用心做好培训服务的精神所感动。
一、精心呈现，各取所需。Jessica和Linda将学校改进程序所涉及的20个概念提炼出来，用小组合作学习与专家点评的方式让学员理解接纳。有疑问的学员当场可与参与分享的学员及专家老师之间开展咨问、质疑与辩论，道理越辩越明。组织者希望通过学习让所有学员都有所斩获，习得能帮助自己、帮助学校、帮助教师、帮助学生得到新发展新进步的工具(Flashlight),而不是惩戒他们的手段(hammer)。
二、学习需内化,需中国化。老美的习惯或许是为了不剥夺学员们的归纳思维的体验，所以他们随心所欲随机出现20个概念，你理解自然会归类整理，不能理解就是梳理了有序呈现，也许也是对牛弹琴。本人认为要提高学习效果，需要对20个概念进行有机排列而且中文解释须接地气。今天回来后倒床就睡着了，醒来后觉得时间紧，独个人已不能完成对jessica的承诺。于是请拱宸中学的刘老师潘老师帮忙，她们脑子活、手脚快，又有英语基础，一起对20个关键词进行中国化，二个半小时奋战结果如下，仅供參考：
