Testing is a major part of the Chinese education system, what challenges does that pose for educators trying to bring innovation to their classrooms? What challenges does it pose for RCEF?
Grades matter and measurably improved academic scores for all (not just the naturally gifted students) are an essential part of RCEF’s work. Better teaching methods should translate into better grasp of knowledge and how to apply it both on test questions and in the real world. Thus, innovative student-centered teaching and good test performance don’t need to conflict. Proving that is key to gaining widespread trust from parents, other schools, and society. A major problem now is that most teachers spend too much time drilling test problems and many students still meet with poor results. Thus, we are trying to help teachers develop more effective ways for test preparation that help students do better but don’t take up as much time. RCEF Teaching Coaches and Guan Ai teachers analyze final exam content and question formats to figure out better ways to help children master different sections and put children in groups where they can help each other.
