上海七宝德怀特高级中学应邀参加“疫情后校园重启”在线研讨会

　　Bright and early at 6:30 am on May 22, Brantley Turner, representing Shanghai Qibao Dwight High School, logged into Zoom to join other Heads of School in our Dwight global network for a webinar entitled, “Re-opening in a COVID-19 World: International School Perspectives.”

　　5月22日早上6:30，Brantley Turner代表上海七宝德怀特高级中学，与德怀特其他校区的领导人通过Zoom参加了在线研讨会，讨论“国际学校如何在疫情后重新开放”。

　　Dwight was invited by NYSAIS — the New York State Association of Independent Schools — to speak to over 250 fellow NYSAIS members about the process of reopening schools in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing Dwight’s leadership role around the world, and its unique ability to provide insights from campuses where schools had recently reopened, NYSAIS members were eager to hear from Ms. Turner and Head of Dwight School Seoul Kevin Skeoch. Joining them were Head of School Dianne Drew and Vice Chancellor Blake Spahn from Dwight in New York.

　　德怀特应纽约州私立学校协会(NYSAIS)邀请，就全球新冠疫情后如何重新开放学校进行经验分享，并向250多名NYSAIS会员发表讲话。鉴于德怀特在全球的领导力，以及在疫情后重新开放校园所积累的经验，NYSAIS成员急切地想要听取Ms. Turner(德怀特上海)和Kevin Skeoch(德怀特首尔)两位校长的分享。参会人员还包括纽约德怀特校长Dianne Drew以及德怀特纽约副理事长Blake Spahn。

　　As administrators of schools throughout New York State look to a hopeful reopening in the fall, if safe and possible, they were eager to learn from the experiences of Dwight Schools in Shanghai and Seoul. The panel discussed a number of topics, ranging from logistical considerations and health and safety protocols, to curriculum and classroom changes, as well as the social and emotional impact of COVID-19 on the school community.

　　整个纽约州的学校都期望能在秋季重新开学，因此他们都迫切希望学习德怀特上海和首尔的经验。讨论的话题从学校师生的健康保障和安全流程，到课程和教室的变更等，以及疫情可能带来的对整个学校社区的心理影响。

　　With so many attendees, the webinar was a high-energy, interactive, and informative discussion. Ms. Turner and Mr. Skeoch took the lead on sharing experiences and facing hurdles in their individual Dwight communities, which reflect that of other schools in their respective countries. They discussed the need to protect the health of their students, faculty, and staff, while being conscious of the impact that online teaching and learning has had on everyone during this period. Additionally, they shared insights into making the shift back to being in school physically, what that has been like, and how they have prepared for a number of scenarios, including what to do if we have a COVID-19 case at school. Ms. Turner and Mr. Skeoch also offered advice for managing social distancing in classrooms and public gathering spaces such as the cafeteria, and touched on a range of other logistical, management, scheduling, and budgeting considerations. When the one-hour mark for the end of the panel discussion came, attendees were eager to stay on to learn more and ask questions, so the webinar was extended.

　　参会人员众多，整个在线研讨会充满了互动及信息量丰富的小组讨论。Ms. Turner和Kevin Skeoch率先分享了他们所在校区的经验和面临的困难，参会者都意识到全球学校其实都面临类似的困难。他们讨论了保护学生和教职员工健康的必要性，同时也意识到在线教学对每个人的影响。除此以外，他们还分享了重返校园的真知灼见，以及如何应对各种特殊和紧急情况，例如学校出现病例该怎么办等。Ms. Turner 和Mr. Skeoch还就如何在公共场合(例如餐厅)保持安全的社交距离提供建议，以及后勤、管理、日常安排和预算安排等问题。即使一小时在线研讨会结束后，仍然有很多的纽约参会者坚持留下来，希望能更多的了解上海和首尔的经验。

　　Among the many take-aways for attendees was the knowledge that no one school is alone in having concerns, fears, and many unanswered questions in this “new normal.” Educators around the world are all facing the same challenges while navigating uncharted waters.

　　参会者的收获中，有一点是肯定的，那就是在新冠疫情带来的新常态下，没有一所学校是不存在担忧和恐惧。世界各地的教育工作者都面临着同样的挑战，都在摸着石头过河。

　　As there is no precedent to follow, Dwight in Shanghai and Seoul were proud to participate to help guide hundreds of fellow educators throughout New York State with first-hand knowledge gained from their earlier re-openings.

　　德怀特上海和首尔很荣幸能受邀请参加此次研讨会，由于没有先例可循，只能尽己所能和目前积累的经验中帮助整个纽约州私立学校的教育工作者。

　　This was also a great opportunity for our colleagues at Dwight in New York to glean the same advice and insights, as our sister school looks forward to hopefully welcoming students back to campus in the fall.

　　对于纽约参会者来说，这是一个与德怀特各校区建立联系的好机会，能为他们下学期返校时，应该做哪些准备以及需要考虑的问题提供参考意见。
