【正文】 如直接教學法，如果這是授課的最好方式。但是我們用一種跨學科的綜合學習方法與之達到相互平衡，平衡即是關鍵。實際上，藍學校就是建立在學術能力、創(chuàng)造性思維、自我和社交智能三者相互平衡的基礎之上。我知道這聽起來似乎是常識，但在一些圈子里，會被認為是激進的。
　　And these qualities have brought a lot of attention to Blue School as a truly innovative school.
　　作為一所真正的創(chuàng)新型學校，這些品質(zhì)使藍學校備受關注。
　　Nearly 10 years in, we announced the expansion of the middle school. Our faculty asked our sixth graders to participate in the development of middle school values. Their process began with a question: What do you need from our munity to be happy and productive at school? Students moved through a sixweek process of individual work, collaborative work, refinement, and consensus, and the list they came up with is really extraordinary.
　　花了將近十年的時間，我們宣布擴展中學。全體教員要求我們的六年級學生一起參與發(fā)展中學價值觀。他們的活動以一個問題開始：你需要從我們的團體中得到什么，可以使你在學校獲得快樂和收獲?學生們通過為時六個星期的獨立思考，合作討論，提煉并達成一致，他們所列出的內(nèi)容非常出色。
　　Be engaged and present with each other.
　　互相參與彼此的工作。
　　Respect and support what others need in order to learn.
　　尊重與支持其他人為了學習而需要的東西。
　　Be inclusive of our diversity the way we look, think and act.
　　包容我們的多樣性。即包容我們的外貌、思想以及行為。
　　Cultivate the practice of selfawareness and awareness of others.
　　培養(yǎng)自我意識行為以及他人意識的行為。
　　Honor and make time for fun and joy.
　　騰出時間做些有趣的事情。
　　And challenge ourselves, practice being OK, making mistakes, and support each other through them.
　　挑戰(zhàn)自我，行為端正，犯錯誤，并通過這些互相支持。
　　Remember, these kids were 11 years old when they came up with this. They articulated what took us 20 years to identify.
　　要知道，提出以上觀點的孩子們才11歲。他們明確有力地表達出了我們花了20多年才得出的觀點。
　　One of the great byproducts of creating these vibrant munities is that we bee attractors for people who want to prioritize these values. They want to prioritize it above things like money and prestige and tradition. We can all be on this road together, you at your own values in your own panies, in your own munities and families.
　　創(chuàng)建這個充滿活力的團體順帶產(chǎn)生了一個了不起的效果。那就是我們吸引了那些更看重這些價值觀的人們。他們想把這些價值觀排在金錢、名譽以及傳統(tǒng)之前。在你們所在的公司里，你們自己的團體里、家里，你們有自己的價值觀，我們所有人都可以攜手共進。
　　For us, for me, it was about prioritizing childrenamp。39。s voices to give them the tools to help build a harmonious and sustainable world. I invite you to be on this exciting, passionate, joyful journey together. And together, good as can be expected is limitless when the expectation is that by reshaping our environments, we can change the world.
　　對于我們，對于我，這種價值觀是把孩子們的訴求排在前面，給他們提供方法，幫助他們建立一個和諧、可持續(xù)的世界。我在此邀請各位一同參與這個令人激動的、充滿激情的、愉悅的旅程。一起努力，當我們的期望是通過重塑我們所處的環(huán)境，我們就可以改變世界的時候，意料之中的美好就永無止境。
　　Thank you.(Applause)
　　謝謝。(掌聲)
