Teachers Travel to Beijing
Brimmer teachers Elizabeth Hickey, Sara Murray, Molly Serventi-Gleason, Gemma Kevaney, Yuhong Jia, and Kelly Neely were invited to visit two elementary schools in Beijing to offer professional development training to Chinese teachers from March 12 to 22. They visited the Experimental Elementary School attached to Haidian Teachers College and Chaoyang Experimental School attached to People's University High School. Brimmer teachers observed the Chinese teachers' classes, shared ideas and teaching methodology with the Chinese teachers, taught the students using our own methods, and then gave presentations to the Chinese teachers and administrators. Chinese teachers were impressed by the teaching, care, and professionalism Brimmer teachers demonstrated. They were inspired by our STEAM program and would like to explore how they might integrate the STEAM concept into their own curriculum.
On the last three days of the trip, faculty did some sightseeing around Beijing and visited the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Yonghe Temple.
