11月23日，我校IB协调员刘倩倩主任与来自新加坡的IB官方顾问Sally女士通过视频会议进行了深入沟通。由于疫情关系，我校教师不能远渡重洋与Sally女士进行面对面磋商，但双方对华美外国语学校IB课程体系发展的关切之心丝毫没有被时空阻隔。

On November 23rd, Ms. Liu Qianqian, the IB coordinator of our school, had an in-depth communication with Ms. Sally, the official IB consultant from Singapore through video conference. 

整个视频会议Sally女士给予了我校一个启迪思考、感知困惑、缓解担忧和寻求答案的机会。并根据IB官方的要求进行了很多极具价值的实践引导，为华美外国语学校IB课程的发展构建了新的阶梯。

The whole video conference, Ms. Sally, gave our school an opportunity to enlighten thinking, perceive confusion, alleviate worries and seek answers.

会议一开始，Sally女士就华美外国语学校对IB课程发展的投入给予了高度赞扬，我校课程体系的发展取得了令IB官方满意的成果，授权进程按照要求有序推进。

Ms Sally spoke highly of Huamei Foreign Language School's investment in IB curriculum development, and the development of our school's curriculum system has achieved results that satisfy IB officials.

同时Sally女士也重申了IB课程的价值，强调IB课程是面向未来的课程。马云先生曾说过:“如果我们不改变教学方式，30年后我们就会陷入麻烦。我们必须做出改变，教孩子机器无法替代的知识，这样30年后我们的孩子才有机会。”毫无疑问，未来是未知的。然而，如果我们不去顺应改变，那就毁了我们的孩子。IB课程的核心就是要培养终身学习者，只有这样我们才能让孩子更好地面对不确定的未来。

Ms Sally also reiterated the value of IB course, emphasizing that IB course is a future-oriented course. The core of IB course is to cultivate lifelong learners. Only in this way can we make children better face the uncertain future.

 最后，会议就华美外国语学校IB课程接下来的发展进行了深入的交流，讨论的主题涵盖领导组织架构、课程实践细节、授权流程、IB项目更新以及学习空间的设置等。

The topics discussed at the meeting covered leadership organization structure, details of course practice, authorization process, IB project update and learning space setting, etc.

两个多小时的会议让老师们受益匪浅，相信在IB官方的不断监督和指导下华美外国语学校的课程体系会越来越完善，会更加坚定不移地走向国际化道路。

We believe that under the continuous supervision and guidance of IB officials, the curriculum system of Huamei Foreign Language School will be more and more perfect and will be more determined to internationalize.
