中加楓華國際學校體育老師Matthew Collins

你是什么時候來楓華的，為什么選擇了楓華

I chose Sino-Canada because I wanted a new adventure and stayed because the amazing teaching environment that Sino-Canada offers. The staff and students are very friendly and teaching here has been the perfect start to my hopefully long teaching career.

我是四年前來到楓華的。我選擇楓華是因為我希望有一次新的探險之旅，我選擇留下是因為楓華提供了優越的教學環境。這里的教職工和學生都非常友好，能在這里教學是我理想中漫長教育生涯的開始。

作為體育老師，談談體育課程的重要性

As one of the Physical Education teachers, our goal is to introduce a variety of sports to students from grades ten to twelve. This enables students to explore various types of physical activity and hopefully find a form of fitness that they can implement in their daily lives, even after they leave our program.

作為一名體育老師，我們的目標是將各項體育運動介紹給10到12年級的學生。讓學生可以探索不同種類的體育活動，并很有可能因此找到他們在課后依然愿意在日常生活中進行的健身項目。

學生有沒有做過一些讓您難忘的事情

Students are always finding ways to impress me at Sino and that’s because they are all so talented in their own ways. Student Representative Council is constantly find new ways to improve our school. Choir, Dance and Drama are always putting on amazing events and I haven’t even mentioned our high level athletes yet. We have students that help clean our ground and recycle and students that draw and paint beautiful art all over our hallways. I literally can’t overstate how special our student body is and how much they are learning and growing as people by being a part of our program.

楓華的學生一直在給我驚喜。因為他們總是以他們各自的方式散發著才華。學生會一直在尋找新的方法改善我們的學校，合唱團，舞蹈團和戲劇社也一直舉辦精彩的演出，更不用說我們還有非常高水平的運動員們。我們的學生會幫助清理場地，回收利用廢棄資源，遍布BC樓走廊墻上的美麗的藝術圖畫也是我們學生的作品。我真的不能夸大我們的學生有多特別，他們在楓華學習并成長，因為他們是我們BC的學生。

作為戶外社團負責人，請您介紹一下戶外社

Mr. Stevens and Myself are a big part of Outdoor Club. Our Club allows for students to make friends, explore their own country and take a break from their studies. This year we have gone rock climbing, are going snowboarding and skiing in Changbaishan, visiting hot springs and also planning a hiking and camping trip.

Mr. Stevens和我都是戶外社團的負責人。在我們的社團里，學生可以交到志同道合的朋友，探索他們自身的邊界，暫時從學習壓力中掙脫出來。這一學年，我們組織了攀巖活動，下學期將有一次長白山滑雪活動，溫泉之旅，還計劃組織一次徒步和野營旅行。

您覺得教師在教學方面應該具備哪些技能

I think it’s very important to understand the needs of our students. One of the most valuable skills a teacher can have is connecting with students and understanding how each individual has their own learning style. Having a passion for teaching and always carrying one’s self with a positive attitude is critical.

我認為能夠理解學生的需求是非常重要的。與學生互動并了解每位學生如何擁有他/她自己的學習方式，是一位教師應具備的其中一項最寶貴的技能。對教學有熱情，總是以積極的態度展現自己，這一點至關重要。

您認為學生除了專業知識還需具備哪些能力

Being an academic in school is certainly a priority however I do think that students in our program, learn valuable life lessons that extend further than just reading, writing and numeracy. I think leadership skills, presentation skills and social skills are developed through our program which also give our students the best chance for success.

在學校做好一個學生當然是首要任務。但我確實認為，在我們BC，學生更多學習的是人生課程，而這些課程不僅僅是閱讀、寫作和算術。我認為在BC，學生可以培養自身的領導力、演講技巧和社交技能，這些技能幫助我們的學生走向成功。

教育就是一棵樹搖動另外一棵樹，一朵云推動另外一朵云，一個心靈喚醒另一顆心靈,一談到學生，Matthew Collins打開話匣子，言語里難掩喜悅和自豪。

一個人的幸福感取決于對自己**價值的理解和熱愛。教育，這個讓人心甘情愿付出、沉醉的詞語，滌蕩在Matthew Collins心中最明凈的位置，正如他在采訪中所說：“對教學有熱情，總是以積極的態度展現自己”，在四年任教生涯里，他專業于教學發展、專心于自我提升、專注于學生成長，以一顆赤子之心踐行自己的教學夢想。祝愿新的一年里，Matthew Collins**順利、萬事勝意!
