Shanghai/Ningbo2013Research Visit
CONTEXT 9 ingredients- to educational success
CULTURE/TRADITION
• High Expectations• Belief in Hard Work• Public Exam mechanism
Focus upon the social problems- schooling system:A drive to boost the happiness of students & enjoyment in education- President Zhang- PISA for China
MODERN• Open Door Policy• Recent Focus upon Inquiry &
Research Learning• INSET Teacher research
groups (from Finland)• Education Levy (from
Switzerland) to help poor areas of Shanghai
• Better Schools help less successful
• Quota- access to University from less successful schools
Shanghai Maths
• Taught in mixed ability groups- sometimes broad banded• Maths & Science taught by specialists in Primary schools• Maths students are stunning – theory- practising
ruthlessly until mastery• Application to real contexts = weakness, together with
application /problem solving: being addressed through enrichment programmes and research activities
• Maths specialist routes at higher level- mechanics for engineers; statistics for biologists/social scientists
Shanghai Experimental School
• Core Learning 26 hours• Maths/Chinese/
English/Sciences/ & Humanities
• Enrichment 8 hours• Opportunities for collaborative
learning & problem solving• Sports, music, art/calligraphy,
group activities & competitions• Fast Learning in 20minute slots• Choice with specialist sessions
in mathematical modelling, programming
• Catch up sessions to support students falling behind
Ningbo International Hi Tech School
A Very Special Maths LessonNingbo Hi Tech International SchoolAmbition to make it a playground for learning- where students learn to “behave like little teachers” Mr Lin Principal
The Ningbo Innovative approach
• 3 links:1. Before (pre-release/self-learning
questions)2. During (Demonstration)3. After(Consolidation) • 6 ways:1. Teacher provides guidance2. Self-Study3. Study in groups4. Study through demonstration to others5. Learn by researching6. Learn by consolidating all knowledge
• Active learning spreading• Learner confidence and
results had soared• Encouraged no more than
12 mins teacher talk • Employing a range of
techniques to encourage problem solving- to tap into the thinking power of students
• Had taken “Great strength and guts to change”-resistance from all directions
Kesgrave- Maths remodelling• Re-packaging the
curriculum- GCSE starts from Yr 7- core curriculum units, with short applied units throughout the year
• In Yr 10 the students will be given choice-applied units
• Yr 11- more choice/specialism (new ‘M’ Level)
• Applied units are being developed, such as:
• Codes and ciphers• Modelling weapons• Sport modelling• Bridge
building/mechanics• Sport modelling• Personal finance• Number use/Stats
PISA headlines 2009
• Sampled across full range of Shanghai schools
• Very small range between their top and bottom performers
• Maths 1st
• Science 1st
• Reading 1st
• 92% of students read for enjoyment everyday-in UK?
• Teacher/student relationships very positive
• Memory skills are LOWER in Shanghai than UK
• Students in Shanghai have a worse attitude towards school than UK- resenting the (unremitting) pressure
Teaching CommitmentsShanghai/Ningbo
• 8 – 10 lessons @40/45 mins• 7 hours teaching• 2 classes @ 36-48 range• Approx. 80 pupils a week• 25% contact plus 2 hour
session of evening supervision
• All observe lessons, belong to a subject & an age cohort research group
• Write 2 papers a year• An honour to be observed
KHS• 12 @90/95 mins• 21 hours teaching• 10 (ish) @ 26 (ish)• Approx 260 pupils a week• 80% contact- plus stacks of
preparation/marking out of school
• Action research groups- a culture of R & D
• Triads/Observation opportunities in the Teaching school network
A Chinese Proverb Re-visited
• I hear and I forget• I see and I remember• I do and I understand• We collaborate and we solve all
problems
Ideal-Values and Vision-5 year plan
• Firstly on your own• In small groups………..plus
nominate a spokesperson• Educational vision – blue sky
thoughts
The Master Plan They have developed a 10 year plan (2010-2020) to:• Green plan- healthier and happier.• Every school a good school ambition.• Focus upon every child’s personal development. • Optimise problem solving skills - improve student creativity /flexibility• Innovations to focus upon emotional, attitudinal aspects of the curriculum• A focus upon research skills and Inquiry based learning for students
• The new High school Quality Project uses 40 high performing schools with ‘normal’ resources and equipment to lead and share. Experts from their Pisa team glean what makes them successful and lead teachers are used to share best practise. In the weakest schools, principals are removed, new leaders put in, its name is changed (!) and standards are monitored.
Spiritual, Moral, Social & Cultural
• Link to achievement• Lesson plans…….• Share either a good example – or set a
challenge- Pair -> Share• Enriching all lessons
The toughies- “Stinky Tofu”
Find their Shining Light
Year 8
• Cricket• BMX• Rock Climbing• Dissecting animals• Capture the flag• Rugby• Pursuit• Code breaking• Trampolining
• Gym• Reading• Drama• Segway’s• Animating• Video game making• Music• Food in 30• Pottery
What we can apply at Kesgrave?
Adopting a ‘fast learning’ enrichment programme across the school. We could use this to heighten motivation and teach everything from Mandarin to Enterprise, Financial Management to Computer Modelling. We have an opportunity to move from outstanding to world class, by finding and enhancing the ‘bright lights’ all the Shanghai and Ningbo schools search for in their students and staff.

Other ideas
Action research• Extending KHS programme
into subject specific research in addition to cross curricular
Assorted ideas• Extended mentoring• Light touch support beyond
Year 1/NQT• More maths specialists in
Primary schools• Catch up focus- built in• Applied and Active
Learning without limitsRespectful, trusting relationshipsPrincipled global citizens
