Rushton Hurley | Stories of Success 成功的故事

About the Session

Abstract:

Every adult working with a school plays a part in how students are inspired, as a result of their experiences on campus. The activities and collaboration of team members constitute an exploratory culture that, done well, also proves personally and professionally meaningful. Together, everyone, both in and out of classrooms, help craft the stories that allow the larger community not simply to understand a school's strengths, but also its potential to support the growth of its children.   How these adults work together to overcome common barriers, tap freely into the available tools, and draw upon the strengths of the students themselves to shape and share these stories is a focus easily lost amidst the day-to-day demands of keeping a school functioning. However, when the culture welcomes both conventional and novel ideas for its activities and communications, the school can fulfill its promise as a place of inspiration for everyone.

关于主题演讲

摘要：

校园中的每一位成年人都会根据自己的经验，在帮助学生受到启发方面发挥着作用。团队成员的活动和合作构成了一种探索性的文化，如果做得好也会证明其对个人和职业的意义。教室内外的每个人都共同帮助撰写故事，以让更大的社区了解学校的优势，也让他们了解学校支持孩子成长的潜力。

这些成年人如何共同克服共同的障碍，自由地利用现有的工具，并利用学生自身的优势来塑造和分享这些故事，是在维持学校运作的日常需求中容易失焦的点。然而，当学校文化对其活动和交流的传统和新奇想法都表示欢迎时，学校就能实现其作为每个人的灵感之源的承诺。
