本次论坛中，深圳哈罗外籍人员子女学校校长钱浪先生以“深圳哈罗人才培养的传承与创新”为题发表了精彩演讲。

尊敬的嘉宾、女士们、先生们，大家好，我是哈罗深圳外籍人员子女学校的中方校长钱浪，非常荣幸今天能在此与大家探讨哈罗深圳在传承传统和坚持创新的探索。

能被邀请到这次论坛我感到非常荣幸，因为哈罗深圳仅建立一年，和其它更加成熟的国际学校相比，我们只是一个蹒跚学步的孩子；所以，我在这里不是分享，更多是虚心的向各位学习，来“抛砖引玉”和“见贤思齐”。

今天我的分享主要分为两个部分，第一部分是介绍哈罗深圳的学校概况与传统，第二部分是分享我们在“挖掘哈罗传承”和“培养学生创新”这两方面正在做的努力。

首先，我要向大家介绍一下哈罗深圳。哈罗深圳校园位于前海，目前由两所学校组成，其中一所是现有的K-12国际学校，提供英国国家课程、并巧妙融合中国教育特色。另一所是K-12礼德民办双语学校。回顾哈罗的历史，相信大家可以发现，在过去的450年中，哈罗一直是卓越教育、精英教育的代言词。过去20余年至今，哈罗已经在中国大陆、香港、泰国建立了9所学校，在亚洲各地继续提供卓越的教育。通过哈罗在深圳的学校、哈罗在亚洲的学校、甚至哈罗在英国的创始学校（哈罗公学）层层相连的紧密合作关系，我们的教职员工以及学生都有机会参与整个哈罗集团的活动，不仅能分享专业知识，还能丰富我们的哈罗大家庭的经验。

我可以非常自豪的说，在哈罗学校，我们的学术是卓越的，获得的成绩也是非常优秀的。去年，哈罗国际学校学生的IGCSE考试成绩比英国的学校要高50%，A-Level考试成绩比英国的一些学校高30%。接受哈罗教育的学生往往拥有杰出的考试成绩，能从学校中获得成就以及拥有良好的综合素质，因此，他们有更多机会获得名校的青睐。我们的学生通常会被全球的顶级高等院校录取，特别是在美国和英国的这些著名高校。虽然现在哈罗深圳第一批学生还没有毕业，但我们相信在哈罗学校卓越的教育之下，他们此后也将取得同样优秀的成绩。为什么我们如此自信？因为哈罗深圳传承了哈罗公学优秀的传统，同时也始终坚持教育创新。

接下来，我将分享哈罗深圳在创新方面所做的工作，这也是我本次演讲中的第二部分。

1. 利用传统进行创新

首先，哈罗深圳在继承优良传统和创新之间保持非常好的平衡，如果没有坚持对传统的坚定继承、对教育的持续创新，在过去的4个多世纪中，哈罗就不可能一直保持教育卓越。哈罗的四个核心价值观：勇气、荣誉、谦和、互助，形成于450多年的哈罗历史，指导我们每位学生在课堂上和课外活动中成为全面发展的人才。所以，勇气、荣誉、谦和、互助是每个哈罗学生的基石，从伦敦到深圳都是如此。

为实现哈罗的宏大愿景，我们因应不同年龄段学生的特质和需求，将领导力培养贯彻于教育的方方面面，并着意赋予学生以下领导力特质：积极参与 奉献社会、心怀仁爱 善用才智、沟通协作 互助共进、善用创意 解决问题、公正公平 负责为先、坚毅向前 面对挑战。这些特质与规则是我们希望学生在哈罗培养的一些核心技能，也是21世纪学习者必备的技能。在日常教学中，我们非常耐心的塑造学生在这些方面的品质，对他们拥有很高的期望，并以此标准评估他们的成长。可以说，哈罗的四个核心价值观、六种品格以及这些规则可以作为一个指南针，引领我们的学生探索创新，寻找前进的方向。

2. 课程创新

在哈罗深圳，学校为学生提供了一个多元均衡的学习计划。除中文、英文、数学和科学等主要课目外，学校还开设了两种主要课程，如，培养数字素养的课程——编程、STEM课程，以及设计、艺术课程等。在教授这些课程的过程中，深圳哈罗采用现代化创新教学法，将学科专家教学与合作性教学模式相互结合，从而最大限度的支持学生的个性化学习，增强教学与学习效果。

同时，学校为学生创建了创新学习的环境，鼓励学生通过小组学习、个人学习等方式在线上、线下学习与提升。正如大家所见，在哈罗深圳的一些教学实践与考试导向、教师为中心的传统教学方法有着很大的差异。

3. 通过合作进行创新

仅局限在学校内学习已经不能满足每个学生多维度的学习需求，这也是为什么哈罗深圳从开学第一天起就充分利用外部资源，与当地社区合作伙伴进行深度合作。深圳这座城市被誉为创新硅谷，创新是它的基因所在，所以哈罗和深圳当地的企业以及机构建立了良好的合作关系。

比如，哈罗学校和来自腾讯的计算机科学家和工程师合作。腾讯是深耕于深圳的科技巨头，最著名的产品是QQ和微信。腾讯的工作人员帮助哈罗深圳进行校园改进，让教职员工和学生能够利用最先进的工作实现教与学的过程。这样的改进使老师可以从冗杂的工作中解放出来，让AI替代老师进行晨间签到等工作。因此，学校教学团队可以更多专注于教学，提升教学和学习质量。

第二，哈罗深圳建立了哈罗嘉宾演讲项目。作为中方校长，我的本职工作之一就是进行家校沟通，非常荣幸，我曾与许多在高科技行业的高精尖人才、企业家家长沟通、交流过。在他们的帮助下，哈罗深圳发起了这个项目，邀请家长和他们的朋友作为演讲嘉宾，向我们的学生分享他们的专业、职业和生活经验。

这真的是一个很好的机会，对学生来说，他们可以从课本和学术研究中走出来，开拓视野，发现自己的兴趣，探索自己的新的才能。另外，我们还跟壹基金建立紧密联系，让学生们能够参与思考并尝试解决部分影响中国和世界环境可持续发展的问题。

在2021年，深圳哈罗启动了创新周的活动，这是与大疆合作的一项创新项目。大疆是全国领先的科技公司，致力于培养年轻的工程师和科学家。哈罗深圳不仅提供一整周的时间让学生进行创新活动，同时也提供一百余项领导与服务活动，其中便包括无人机设计和编程课程。

我想，看到孩子们脸上的笑容和兴奋是最有成就感的事情。

其实，在哈罗深圳，我们做的事情并非是开天辟地的，也并非是革命性的，而是吸收了东西方的精华，是我们能做到的最正确、最好的事情。同时，我想借用一段马斯克所说的话：“创新不是什么神秘的东西，基本上只是对所做的产品或服务的绝对完美主义的追求，创新不需要重大突破，只是让产品做得更好。这才是真正重要的事情。”作为教育者，哈罗将卓越传统与持续创新相结合，为学生提供了最正确的教育产品。非常骄傲的说，哈罗集团和哈罗深圳始终在努力完善我们的产品，从而实现“育以至善，卓以领航”的崇高愿景。

感谢大家的聆听，希望大家今天过得愉快。

当今世界，教育改革创新已非预言，而是现实。第十一届创新人才论坛暨德胜教育二十周年 · 德胜学校（国际）十周年教育峰会汇聚世界顶尖大学学者和中国顶尖国际学校教育者的先进理念与实践，深刻引领了教育行为，为未来赋能，让改变从现在发生。

On November 20, 2021, the 11th Innovative Talent Forum & the 20th Anniversary of Desheng Education · DSI 10th Annual Education Summit, hosted by KingLead Beijing and organized by Desheng Education, were successfully held at Desheng School (International).

This is a far-reaching event focusing on international education and academic exchanges, gathering valuable experience, scientific literacy, and wisdom from the world's top scholars. This forum focused on the theme “Innovation”. As the host, KingLead invited 

Three world’s top university professors from Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford，

National Education Supervisor, Former Department Chief, Policy and Regulations Department, Ministry of Education, Executive Chairman, China Society of Educational Development Strategy Committee, 

Vice President, Doctoral Supervisor - China Education Policy Research Institute, 

Chairman of the Board & CEO of Desheng Education Group, 

Well-known international school principals, leadership, and related educators from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and other cities.

The guests discussed the cultivation of innovative talents, grounded in the present and the likely future, based on China’s condition, looking around the world.

In this forum, Kevin Qian, Chinese Principal of Harrow International School Shenzhen, brought a lecture on the theme of "Nurture  Talents at Harrow Shenzhen: Tradition and Innovation".

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Kevin Qian, and I'm the Chinese principal of Harrow Shenzhen. It's my great honor to be here to talk about some of Harrow Shenzhen's exploration in nurturing innovative talents by leveraging our tradition and innovation.

To be perfectly honest, because Harrow Shenzhen opened just 1 year ago, still a toddler compared to other more mature international schools, I'm truly humbled to be invited and couldn't say I'm here to share but I'm definitely here to learn and compare notes with all my fellow educators and school leaders. In Chinese, I'm here to Pao Zhuan Yin Yu and Jian Xian Si Qi. A little test for our conference interpreter.  

So my speech today is divided into two parts: First, Who we are, including Harrow Shenzhen's school profile, Harrow School's tradition and excellent academic achievements; Second, what we are doing in terms of tapping into Harrow's tradition and cultivating innovation among our students.

To begin with, who we are. Located in Qianhai, Harrow Shenzhen consists of two schools, an existing K-12 international school providing UK national curriculum with a strong Chinese Program; and a K-12 bilingual private school with an A-level program which is in the process of founding. If you look at the history of Harrow, for 450 years, Harrow has been synonymous with educational excellence. And for over 20 years, Harrow Schools have been delivering educational excellence for life and leadership across Asia via establishing 9 schools in China, HK, and Thailand. Harrow Shenzhen enjoys strong collegial bonds with the Harrow network of schools in Asia and to the founding school in the UK. There are opportunities for staff and students to participate in activities and share expertise across the group – enriching the experience for our community.

I'm proud to say, academic excellence is expected and achieved in a Harrow School. Last year alone our students across the Harrow International Schools achieved outstanding results in international examinations – over 50% higher than UK schools at Grade 10 (IGCSE) and over 30% higher than UK schools at A-level. Outstanding examination results plus many other accomplishments and qualities students developed through a Harrow education lead to impressive university entrance achievements. Harrow students routinely gain acceptance to top higher education institutions across the globe – most notably in the UK and the US. Although Harrow Shenzhen has not yet produced our first cohort of graduates, we firmly believe we will be achieving equally if not more successful college destinations in due course. Why are we so confident? It is exactly because of the tradition that Harrow Shenzhen is building on and the innovation we are building up.

So, please allow me to share what we are doing with regards to innovation, which is the second part of my speech.

No. 1 Leveraging Tradition for Innovation

Harrow wouldn't be able to stay ahead of providing excellent education for over four centuries without its strong adherence to its rich heritage and a pursuit of innovation. The four Harrow Core Values, namely, Courage, Honor, Humility and Fellowship, developed through almost 450 years of educational excellence, guide and challenge all our students to develop themselves as whole and complete human beings, both in the classroom and through the many extra-curricular activities. Courage, Honor, Humility and Fellowship are the cornerstones that mark every Harrow student – from London to Shenzhen！

From these 4 values, we have derived six leadership attributes for our older students and what we called iRules for our young students. The six attributes are "contributing positively to the community" (iCare), "applying knowledge with compassion" (iCare Global), "solving problems collaboratively" (iTeam up), "Solving problems creatively" (iCreate), "making just and responsible choices”(iRespect), "Facing challenges with determination" (iGo for it). These attributes and irules are some of the core skills we want to foster in our students which also match with the 21st century learner skills and profile. Day in and day out, we impart these qualities patiently, set high expectation for students and assess their growth against these standards. Take "Solving problems creatively" or "iCreate" for example, it is to encourage students to use knowledge and imagination to find a solution when facing challenges, laying a solid foundation for students to innovate. Suffice it to say, Harrow's four values, six attributes and iRules can serve as a compass, guiding students in exploring innovation and searching for the way forward. 

No. 2 Innovation within the Class

In our school, we provide a broad, balanced and knowledge rich program of study. In addition to the main subjects like Chinese, English, Math, Science, we do enhance in students the use of technology and devices via two major courses-digital literacy course like coding and STEM course like Design Art and Technology. When delivering these courses, Harrow Shenzhen also embraces modern innovative pedagogies by combining subject specialist teaching and the co-teaching model to maximize the personalized support students can obtain and strengthen efficacy in learning and teaching. 

We maintain fairly innovative learning environment as well in that we use flexible learning spaces and encourage group work and independent work online and offline. As you can see, some of these practices are in sharp contrast to the traditional Chinese teaching and learning style like test-oriented teaching, and teacher-centered approach. 

No. 3 Innovation via Partnership

A school alone couldn't provide every fantastic opportunity that suits every student's needs. That's why since Day 1 we decided to utilize the external resources unapologetically by collaborating with partners in our local community in Shenzhen, a city hailed as China's Silicon Valley where innovation is its DNA.

Harrow Group is working with computer scientists and engineers from Tencent, a Shenzhen-based tech giant famous for Wechat, to transform our campus so that staff and students could be equipped with the most advanced tools to conduct teaching and learning; it also frees up teachers from some mundane and tedious work that could easily be taken care of by AI technology, like registration in the morning. As a result, our great educational team could spend the majority of their time at school with kids to facilitate their learning. 

Second, the Harrow Guest Speaker Program. Since a major part of a Chinese Principal's job is Home-school communication, I have been privileged to meet many of our parents who are high-caliber tech talents and entrepreneurs in the high-tech industry. Enlisting their help, I initiated this program to invite parent volunteers and their friends as guest speakers to share their professions, careers, and life experiences to our students. 

It is a truly exceptional opportunity for our students to get out of their textbooks and academic routines sometimes so they can refresh themselves and explore their new interest or talent. We also have close ties with One Foundation to allow kids to get involved in pondering and potentially solving environmental and sustainable development issues inflicting upon parts of China and world.

By the same token, Harrow Shenzhen has initiated Innovation Week working with innovative programs provided by DJI, a leading tech company that also pays special attention to cultivating young engineers and computer scientists. Not only is Harrow Shenzhen furnishing a whole week of innovation activities but we are also providing a standing course in drones designing and programming in our 100+ Leadership and Service Activities.

There is nothing more fulfilling than to see the smiles and excitement on children’s faces, right?

I'm cognizant that what we are doing is neither unprecedented nor revolutionary, so to speak, but it's combing the best of east and west and certainly the right and better thing to do. And as Elon Musk once said and I quote: Innovation "is not some mysterious thing," "It's basically being just an absolute perfectionist about the product or service that you make." It also doesn't need to be some big breakthrough, he added. "Just make your product better. This is the thing that really matters." As an educator, I truly believe a Harrow education via combining the rich tradition and strong innovation, is the right product for our students and I'm proud to say that what Harrow Group and Harrow Shenzhen are striving for is constantly perfecting our product to achieve our vision of education excellence for life and leadership.

Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy yourselves today.

Nowadays, education reform and innovation is not an expectation but reality. 11th Innovative Talent Forum & the 20th Anniversary of Desheng Education · DSI 10th Annual Education Summit gathered scholars from high-ranking universities and educators from top international schools. The forum leads the education behavior and empowers the future. Let the change starts now.
