作为六年级的助教,我的日常工作包括上课前要保证所有的孩子都能够准时出现在课堂上。遇到任何技术问题,要帮他们联系ICT部门。与此同时要给外籍老师翻译,使孩子们能够更加理解老师所说的内容。课后再提醒孩子们当天的作业,并在适要时候联系家长,督促孩子完成作业。向家长传达任课老师对于孩子的反馈。
As a teaching assistant of the Grade 6 class, one of my daily duties is to make sure all students are showing up for the class on time. If students encounter any technical problems in class, I will help them to contact with the ICT department. At the same time, I am responsible to interpret for our international teachers and students, so that students can better understand what teachers said. After the class, I have to remind students to do their homework, and contact parents when necessary to urge students to complete the homework. Last but not least, to pass on the feedback of teachers to parents.
这段时间,即使是线上学习,也可以感受到学生的学习热情不减。班上有总是又好又快地完成作业的学生,为其他同学树立了良好的榜样。也有一些总是在课后会主动提出问题,我感觉很开心,因为他们能够承担自己的责任,自主学习。虽然班里有学生在刚开始不会总是按时出现在课堂,但现在他们的表现已经大有好转,不仅准时参与课堂,而且开始认真完成作业。重要的是孩子学习态度的转变,他们愿意去和老师配合,积极完成作业。虽然还任重道远,但只要他们自己愿意付出时间和精力去完成,我相信他们会做的很好。有几位家长总是会和我积极沟通孩子近期的学习问题,能够得到他们的支持和理解对于推动学生的进步是大有裨益的,我很感谢家长给出的建议。针对家长的疑问,我们也组织了几次单独的家长和任课老师的家长会,帮助他们了解课堂和孩子的近况。
During this period of time, even though we are studying online, we can still feel students' enthusiasm for learning. There are students who always complete the homework quickly and do very well, setting a good example for other students. There are also students who always ask questions after class, I feel very delighted to give them instructions because they take the responsibility to learn independently. Although some students didn’t appear in the classroom on time in the beginning, their performance has improved a lot. Not only did they begin to attend class on time, but they also started to take their homework seriously. The most important thing is the change of children’s attitudes towards learning. They are willing to ask the teacher for help and actively complete the assignment. Although there is still a long way to go, as long as they are willing to spend their time and effort to complete it, I believe they will do better soon. Some parents are proactive to communicate with me about their child’s learning. Receiving their support and understanding can greatly help students succeed and I am very grateful for their suggestions too. In response to parents’ concerns, we have also organized several parent meetings for individual parents and teachers to help them understand what we are teaching and the learning progress of their child.
另外,我们有非常负责任的老师,比如Anantha数学老师。他不仅运用多种方法使课堂有趣,包括游戏、推测、观察日常生活得出数学原理、创作自己的数学歌等,而且愿意花自己的休息时间给需要帮助的同学去补习。这让家长和学生自己也重燃对于学习的信心。
In addition, we have many responsible teachers at the school, such as Mr. Anantha. He always uses a variety of activities to make the class interesting which includes games, guessing, observation of daily life to derive mathematical principles, creating their own math songs, etc. He is also willing to spend his private time after class to those who need extra help, which has rekindled the confidence of parents and students in learning.
