活动 | 5.18 “小革小新”如何撬动教育改革？哥大教授与校友分享全球教育微创新实践洞见

Why do even the best education systems struggle with change? Discover how small, targeted changes are making significant strides in student success and well-being, with insights from global contexts, including the U.S., Finland, and Singapore.

The event kicks off with Professor Hatch's keynote on the power of micro-innovations, followed by a panel of Columbia alumni educators sharing firsthand experiences of how China's schools implement these micro-innovations across various subjects, their impact on mental health, and the interplay with technology and AI.

This event is part of the Beijing Center's Scholar-in-Residence Program.

Hatch教授的研究重点关注学校、地区和国家各级学校的教育改革。他的最新著作 The Education We Need for a Future We Can't Predict 聚焦于如何在发达国家和发展中国家的学校内外创造更强有力的学习体验。他在书中展现了什么是最有效的教育改革方法，以及我们该如何重新定义学校从而为学校教育赋能；同时也论证了我们是可以通过共同努力使现有的学校教育变得更加有效、高效和公平，且可以创造出更具有多样性与主动性的学习机会来促进学生的全面发展。
