Changes at MAK in 2019-2020 (Part 1 of 3): Schedule 學年度變化: 時間表 (第一章)

It has been quite some time since I’ve updated this space! For the last few blog entries of the 2018-2019 school year, I’ll be going over some changes coming up next year. Our first entry will go over next year’s academic schedule.

很久沒寫新文章了!這是本學年度  2018-2019 最後一篇部落格文章,在此我想跟大家解釋明年將會實行的一些新轉變。在這第一章裡,我想先跟各位家長解釋明年課表的變化。

Schedule Change: Late Start Thursdays! 新課表:晚起星期四

Next year, our students will be able to get a little extra sleep every Thursday. As a small school with lots of teachers involved in lots of things, one of our constant struggles is finding time to meet together. In our meetings, teachers discuss specific student concerns and how to address them, work on curricula, plan student activities, get up to date on best teaching practices, and meet with job-alike teachers on Morrison’s other campuses.

明年,我們的學生將有機會在每個星期四賴床。因為我們是小學校,每位教職員都負責許多任務,因此,其中一項挑戰,就是我們很難找到共同的時間一起開會。在開會時,老師們會討論關於學生們特定的顧慮,和解決的方案、準備課案、計畫學生活動、討論最新最有效率的教學方法、和與其他校區同年級的老師開會。

On Thursdays, MAK will be consolidating teacher meeting times between 7:30 and 8:30 on Thursday mornings. This consolidated time will help our staff to grow professionally and will ultimately better the MAK experience for all our students. Moreover, this Thursday morning time will be system-wide; Taipei and Taichung campuses are doing this as well!

在每個星期四早上,MAK 會將老師會議時間訂在 7:30 -8:30 。這個時間可以幫助教職員們加強自己的專業,已給所有 MAK 學生更好的學習經驗及成果。這個新的星期四時間,將會應用在整個馬禮遜系統所有校區,台北與台中校區也一樣。

Below is a quick version of what the schedule will look like for each division at MAK.

以上是個簡略的圖示,說明每個部門的課表。
