2014年，大学刚毕业的袁老师怀揣着对教育的憧憬、对孩子的喜爱，加入了协和这个大家庭。眨眼，六年过去了。作为一名90后，从“袁妹妹”到“袁姐姐”，如今成为了荣获第十二届师德奖的“袁妈妈”，袁老师在协和经历了教育生涯中最重要的蜕变。
Ms. Yuan graduated from university in 2014 with the longing to education and the affection to children, then she joined the big family of SUIS. Time goes fast, six years passed. As a post-90s, from “Sister Yuan” to “Elder Sister Yuan”, she has now become the “Mother Yuan” who has won the 12th Xieli Prestigious Teacher Award. She has undergone the most important transformation in her education career in SUIS.
执教伊始，依托学校平台，遇全国名师钱锋老师，深度参与到学校的万物启蒙课程、母语探究、思辨课程中，明白了唤醒儿童的想象力、理性和爱心的重要性。在诸多前辈老师的带领下，创造性地打开语文学科的边界，开启了多样化语文学习之门，为孩子们的语文学习提供了无限可能。
At the beginning of teaching, relying on the school platform, she met with the national famous teacher Mr. Qian Feng, and deeply participated in the school’s enlightenment curriculum of everything, mother tongue inquiry and critical thinking curriculum, and understood the importance of awakening children’s imagination, rationality and love. Under the guidance of many senior teachers, we have creatively opened the boundary of Chinese subject, opened the door of diversified Chinese learning, and provided infinite possibilities of children’s Chinese learning.
每个人的一生都是不断自我认知的过程，而教育的目的是培养人，是帮助人更好地认知自己与世界，找到自己在这个世界上的位置。让学生成为幸福独立自信的人，在人生的旅途中不汲汲于功名，也不为变故担心，按照自己的想法舒适自在地生活，单纯、自然、顺应天性。与人同辉，或独自闪光。
Everyone’s life is a process of continuous self-cognition. The purpose of education is to cultivate people, to help people understand themselves and the world better, and to find their place in the world. Let the students become happy, independent and confident people; also, do not worry about changes in the journey of life without striving for fame, just follow your own ideas to live in comfort, simple, natural, conform by following the nature. Shine with others or shine alone.
袁老师说，她不喜欢单一的考试评价标准，除了知识和学科技能之外，更重要的是孩子真实的成长，包括幸福感的获得、持续的学习能力，沟通、协作、创造、领导等各种软技能，以及全球化的视野和背景等等。
Ms. Yuan said that she doesn’t like the traditional test evaluation criteria, not only knowledge and subject skills, but also the real growth of children is more important which including the acquisition of happiness, continuous learning ability, communication, collaboration, creativity, leadership and other soft skills, as well as the global vision and background.
众人眼中的袁老师，亦师亦友，是一个可信赖、懂得倾听的老师，不论是学生还是同事很愿意与她交流工作、学习或者生活上的种种，她也会十分平等地与每一个人交流，尊重每一个人。无论是学生还是同事，重要的应该是去发现人生更多的可能性，给予有底线的自由和陪伴，顺应自己发展的路径，使之不断更新、充盈自己。就像诗人纪伯伦所说的那样，每一位家长和老师都应该明白——你是弓，孩子是从你那里射出的箭。弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，他用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
In eyes of others, Ms. Yuan is a mentor who can be trusted and listens well. No matter students or colleagues are willing to communicate with her about work, study of life, she will also communicate with everyone equally and respect everyone. Whether it is a student or a colleague, it is important to discover more possibilities in life, give freedom and company under the bottom line; follow the path of their own development, and make them constantly update and fill themselves. As the poet Gibran said, every parent and teacher should know — you are the bow from which the child shoots his arrow. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the future, and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; for even as he loves the arrow that flies, and also the bow that is stable.
