China's education system has been experiencing major challenges in the last two decades, which have, unfortunately, not been tackled properly and deeply enough to disappear. Also, those challenges are only known by a few since the collection of data in China is almost impossible, except in the Shanghai and Beijing regions.
The two main challenges that China is currently facing are, on the one hand, an exam-oriented system, making life a nightmare for high school students and on the other hand, the development of major inequalities of performance between urban and rural regions.
As a result, our group of students came up with policy recommendations for the Chinese government to include to their undergoing reform plan, which you will discover in the last part of the PowerPoint.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Second Grade Open House - Shanghai American School, Pudong Campus
1. Welcome to Second Grade
Tell me, and I might forget. Show me, and I might
remember. Involve me, and I will understand.
M rs . N az li, M rs . R ob in so n, M r. R om ard & M rs . Tuck er
Shanghai American School, Pudong Campus - September 2011
3. Our Goal
Our goal is for each student to experience
success in an enjoyable and challenging
educational atmosphere.
We view education as a partnership between the
teacher, student and parents.
4. Reading Workshop
“If parents understood the huge educational
benefits and intense happiness brought about by
reading aloud to their children and if every parent
– and every adult caring for a child – read aloud a
minimum of three stories a day to the children in
their lives we could probably wipe out illiteracy
within one generation.”
- Mem Fox, Reading Magic
5. Reading Workshop
Our balance literacy program includes read-aloud,
shared, independent, and guided reading opportunities
in different genres.
Each student reads at their independent level
Each student selects ‘just right’ books for classroom and home
reading
It is important to understand the focus is not the
level of reading, but on gaining meaning from
reading to prepare students for a future academic
life of interacting and understanding all texts.
6. Your children will...
Not just decode text, but learn strategies that help them:
Think
Understand
Interact
Reflect
Infer
Synthesize
To obtain these strategies children need to slow down and
become thoughtful readers.
This slowing down gives children time to refine strategies and
become more active, fluent readers.
7. Writing Workshop
Writer’s workshop is an exciting program designed to develop
students’ love of writing, while incorporating prewriting, writing
and revision skills.
We encourage our students to learn that the process of writing is
as important as the end product and that writing is a useful,
everyday tool to communicate.
Writers Workshop Units:
Small Moments & Personal Narratives
Realistic Fiction
Nonfiction and Research
Poetry
Persuasive Writing
8. Word Study
Each student will work at their own level on learning words
through meaningful and enjoyable discovery activities.
Activities call for active problem solving, encouraging
students to discover what they know about a new word and
how it is similar to words they already know.
Weekly word study activities:
Monday - Open Sort where students explore and sort words
Tuesday - Explicit teaching of the word study pattern
Wednesday - Exploring new words that follow the pattern
Thursday - Practice of patterns
Friday - Review and assessments
9. Everyday Math
Learning Corporation University of Chicago School Math Project
This is an enriched mathematics curriculum that empowers students
to understand mathematical content far beyond simple arithmetic.
The emphasis is to develop more meaning to math by integrating
data gathering, analysis, probability, geometry, patterns and algebra.

Helping teachers and teaching assistants with the preparation of materials
Attending Field Trips - being responsible for a group of students
We encourage parents not to work directly in their child’s
classroom on a regular day. Previous experiences have shown
that children whose parents work directly in their classroom
often become distracted and rely on their parents for assistance.
Lunch with Your Child: You are welcome to have a special
lunch with your child. However, you may only dine with your
child in the MS/HS cafeteria. If your child would like their
friends to join you, please enjoy lunch in the ES cafeteria.
