Launching into the 35th year
快開學了。1991年進入中大教育學院任教,這暑假剛好滿30年,加上先前在羅富國教育學院的4年,這個九月,將會是我從事teacher education 的第35個年頭。

Completing the Harvard Higher Education Teaching Certificate course
經過九個星期努力,終於完成這Harvard 的Higher Education Teaching Certificate 課程,當然仍要等8月19日provisional grade 的公佈,才知道會否獲得證書。
回想這九個星期的課程,比我當初想像中demanding和rigorous 得多,課程的prospectus說每星期需時10小時,但事實上遠超此數。而我已經不知多久沒有在兩個月內做了那麼多篇功課。
今次整個學習過程除了內容外,给我兩個很大的體會:(1)温故知新: 作為teacher educator, 課程內容對我並不是100%陌生,但就是review 學過的知識(例如Bloom's taxonomy),仍會有新的理解和體會;(2)學如逆水行舟,不進則退。
去年暑假不能外遊,結果讀了多個e-learning 課程和考了十多個e-learning的認證。今個暑假仍然不能外遊,結果完成這如果外遊便無可能完成的Harvard課程。這罕有的人生經驗令我再記起西諺When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
當然我仍然希望明年暑假可以外遊!

Students may remember ...
那天和32年前舊學生午餐敘舊,她竟然可以清楚敘述我當時其中一課的流程!
老實說,我自己也不會記得起每一課的細節,這亦提醒我們當老師的,有時候我們的一句說話,一個舉動,我們也許不以為意,但學生也許會記得很多年呢!
