I am for the robust and free exchange of ideas, as essential to the mission of a great university as it is to the health of our democracy.
I am for a world where we welcome the immigrant, the poor, and the forgotten; we did [do] not shut them out or silence them; a world where showing empathy and understanding is considered the true hallmark of success, of a life well-lived.
That is what I am for.
Yale’s mission says, in part, that we are “committed to improving the world today and for future generations.” That commitment does not end at graduation.
Soon you will leave Yale and, as Robert Penn Warren, who studied and taught at Yale, wrote, “You will go into the convulsion of the world, out of history and into history.”
Indeed, you’ll go into history and make history.
Faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.
I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.
As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.
Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.
I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. The window was my office's best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.
I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.
I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could succeed in his class. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.
I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.
I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.
I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.
I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.
I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.
I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and President's Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.
I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?
I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else I go.
I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Here's how it goes:
My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare.And when they were served,he regarded them with a penetrating stare . . .
Then he spoke great Words of Wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "To eat these things," said my uncle, "you must excercise great care.
You may swallow down what's solid . . .BUT . . .you must spit out the air!"
And . . .as you partake of the world's bill of fare,that's darned good advice to follow.
Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you.
首先感谢学校领导和老师们给了我这样一次机会,让我能够在这里和大家共同交流教学工作中的一些得失。非常荣幸,但介绍经验谈不上,只是在英语教学实践中的一些做法和感悟,有不当之处,请各位多批评指正。
回顾自己上班以来在英语教学中的点点滴滴,感觉并没有什么特别绝对行之有效的“锦囊妙计”,而且我一直感觉老师与老师之间的知识水平并没有太大的差距,重点是在教学过程中怎样去表现自己,激发学生,对上好一节课有没有去想办法,有没有时刻给自己提要求,有没有经常反思自己的教学方法,下面是我在这学期教学中注意到的七个方面。
1. 确立了适合的教学目标。
通过开学初前两周对这届学生的观察,及所有任课老师的反映,我们就意识到了这届学生比着前几届的学生基础都要差,所以我们对他们的期望值也就降低下来,我把教学目标确立得很低,比如说:原来一个早读要读默一个单元的单词,这届学生我只要求一个早读读默半个单元,原来一节课需要讲两个句型的,我一节课只讲一个句型,只求每天少讲一些,只要他们能学会就行,作业也是只布置一些基础性的作业,连平时我们每个单元的测试也只是默写一些重点词汇和句型,没有考过综合的题,但是没想到要求的低,学生大多数都能完成任务,反而大大增强了他们学习英语的自信心,这是我原来并没有料到的 。
2.建立了良好的师生关系。
学生亲其师,方能信其道,乐其道,才能积极的接受教师传授的知识,提高学习兴趣。在处理与学生的关系上,首先,我从称呼上开始,以前曾经听毛校长在大会上说过一个现象,从小学部转到中学部,小学的老师批评学生时称学生为:“乖”,听起来很亲切,而我们中学老师却总是对学生一脸严肃,用词也很犀利,而小学的六年级和我们的七年级学生年龄最多只有一岁之差,甚至毫无差别,之后我也曾反思过自己的行为,在那之后,我也刻意地效仿过小学老师对学生的称呼,感觉学生被这样叫过之后确实与自己的关系拉近了许多。其次,我现在在批评学生时,比较注意说话的方式,我们老师批评学生都是为了他们好,但有时却不能理解咱对他的好,所以我们要注意自己的批评方式。不仅要收到批评的效果,更要让学生明白你这样做的目的,让他明白你对他的良苦用心。除此之外,我在生活上也尽自己所能去关心和帮助学生,比如学生经常找我给家里打电话,借钱,借东西,我都很热情地帮助他们,学生生病了,多问候一句,有时就是咱们的一句问候让学生与自己的心又近了一步。
还有一点我也觉得很重要,就是微笑,以前我见到很捣蛋的学生,一般我是不会对他们笑的,因为一看到他们就想到他们曾经给我惹下过多大的麻烦,现在再见到这样的学生,我心里想着他们就是一群小屁孩,只是调皮了一些,哪个孩子不出点奇葩事会长大啊,这样想着也就觉得没什么了,所以课下见着他们,也是冲他们微笑一下,他们见我也不躲着我,也很自然得问候我一下。这些行为久而久之也会拉近学生与我们老师的距离。但是我觉得也可能是自己随着年龄的增长,也是一位妈妈,不自觉得变得对孩子更加包容了吧。
3.充分利用学生干部。
我们英语学科知识比较繁琐也比较零碎,对学生的监督只靠老师的单枪匹马是不够的,所以,我从开学初,就注重培养学生干部,课代表不仅要会收发作业,而且要有小老师的风范,老师不在时能独当一面。比如:早自习上,课代表要根据前一天所学布置早读任务,要领读,要对所学进行提问学生,要检查组长的'读背情况,并给与评判;在辅导课上,如果讲练习题,更多给予课代表机会让他们为同学们解答;课代表参与英语学科活动的设计;以及应急能力,有一天老师不在学校,自行处理布置作业,打印卷子等一切事务;除此之外,课代表还要会做老师和班级的桥梁纽带,善于与其他学生沟通,并及时向老师反映班级英语学习的心理动向。
小组组长也担任重大责任,一组的英语学习命脉全在组长身上,特别是对于那些没有学习自觉性的学生而言,所以对于组长的培养,也是我教学工作中的一个重要任务。
4.做好备课。
先是集体备课,今年七年级只有张舒贞老师和我,张老师是新毕业的老师,教学思路更加广阔,我工作六年,有一些经验,我们座位相对,可谓中青结合,天时地利,我们经常相互学习,一起探讨每个单元的每节课的上法,甚至小到一个单词的读音的切磋,大到整个学期的的教学计划,我们在共同的讨论中都受益匪浅。除了教学上的相互切磋,我觉得在集备上,我学到更多的是新老师身上的那份工作激情和认真踏实的态度。其次是自己的备课,我的教案,从来都是可以参考以前的备课教案,但从不copy,因为我现在感觉虽然教的课一样,但每一轮教学的经验和心得不同,阅历不同,心情不同,备出的课也会不同,所以我再忙也会抽出时间备好第二天的新课,而且在新授课的教案中,我尤其重视板书的设计,因为板书设计的是否合理,最能体现本节课的重难点和设计本节课的思路,也是学生听完这节课后唯一留下的切切实实的知识载体。
5.抓好早自习,保证读英语的时间。
我们都知道英语缺了读背是万万不可的。我尤其强调学生大声朗读,让学生勇于张嘴读,才能培养学习的自信心。对于现在的七年级学生尤其重要,这届的七年级从开学初就在年级长蒋坤老师和各位班主任的严格监督下养成了良好的早读习惯,所以这次七年级英语获得还不错的成绩,有很大一半还得益于各位班主任老师一学期如一日地早早到班督促学生读书,在这里我也非常感谢我这两个班的班主任老师:郑红莉和杨行老师,每天早读都几乎比我早到,保证了学生读英语的时间。
除此之外,我还要感谢我的几个课代表,因为我的早读任务几乎都是课代表们安排的,他们领读,讲授前一天的知识,提问,监督,为学生的英语学习打下了早读硬仗。
6.注重课堂上活跃的氛围。
首先,老师要有饱满的热情,满怀激情地走进教室,要感染学生,激发学生的情感,使课堂气氛活跃,焕发课堂活力,以达到事半功倍的效果。当然如果一节课一严到底学生会感到很压抑,久而久之便会对你的课堂失去兴趣,从而对这一科失去学习的信心,甚至还会产生抵触的心理,那就根本谈不上学习效果。
在英语中,语法课很枯燥的,所以我在讲解语法时,尽量是深入浅出,比如,讲动词单三形式时,学生不知道为啥用does变问句和否定句时动词要重新变为原形,我就说does是照妖镜,一照动词都要变回原形,学生就印象深刻,立刻明白,讲基数词和序数词时,我就搜一些顺口溜再做一些改编,让学生更加自然、轻松、愉快的学习知识。在讲解词汇用法时,我一般都是拿班上的学生举例,比如:讲be late for时:我举例:张一总是上课迟到。讲be afraid of 时,我举例:艾明贤很害怕语文老师。学生都连连点头,积极举手回答问题,因为我是以真人真事举例,学生都印象深刻,也感觉不那么枯燥无味了。再比如说,我经常会拿一些网络语言与他们交流。如果上课有个男生在说话,我就会盯着他说:还能不能安安静静地做个美男子了。有时我讲到重点内容时,我会对学生说:重要的事情说三遍。然后我就连着跟他们讲三遍。有时教育学生时,我也会说虽然你颜值很高,但我们处在一个有分才能任性的教育时代。 所以我的课堂大多数情况下是很活跃的。
7.做一个研究型的老师。
去年我和寇洁和贾莹华老师一起完成了一个科研立项及结项研究报告《初中英语分层作业的实践探究》并获得了郑州市一等奖,我的教学随笔或者叫反思《好习惯的培养让你的教学更轻松》在年前郑州市教科研论文中获得三等奖,在这并不是炫耀我的成就,我只是觉得在这个过程中,我通过翻阅别人的一些论文,还有与其他老师的交流中,自己的教学观念和理论水平确实得到了一些提高,而且在续写研究报告或写论文时是一定要有一些自己的东西的,所以借此机会逼迫自己反思自己的教学,并总结出这几年教学生涯中有价值的东西,才会让自己不断进步,所以我觉得什么科研立项报告,论文不是给别人看的,更多的是给自己看的。
而且通过探究学习,确实产生了实际的教学效果,比如我现在在布置作业时经常就是分层作业,让每个层次的学生都有作业做,都能做作业,都通过作业得到了提高;总之,我觉得有时我们在教学上也下了很大功夫,但是却没有成绩,不妨停下来,反思一下自己的教学,或是借鉴或是探索一下什么好的方法,也许就突然奏效了,这个探索或反思的过程其实就是科研了。所以做一个研究型的老师也是新时代对我们老师的要求。
8.加强家校联系
我们与家长的沟通并不奢望家长们能帮我们做些什么,特别是我们学校的生源所对应的家长们,但最起码我们让他知道自己的孩子在学校是什么样子的,总不至于到一个孩子问题很严重时再找家长谈,家长有一些很无理的取闹,说是家长无理取闹,倒不如说有些家长无法接受咱们所描述的他的孩子的情况,这可能就是我们平时与家长沟通的太少,一下子说他孩子如何如何不好,他接受不了,所以会闹些情绪。所以我们平时还是应该向家长汇报孩子的点点滴滴,打电话可能太浪费时间或话费,我们可以选择校讯通或是微信,QQ等,这些现代的通讯的方式可能更直观更客观地反映某个孩子的情况。我在平时比较多使用校讯通,每个单元的成绩,进步大的,退步大的,优秀的,每天的作业情况,上课情况,一有空我就会给家长汇报一下,当然不能只向家长汇报不好的,更多的是汇报孩子每天进步的表现。现在七一班还建立了家长微信群,我想下一步我可以用照片或视频更直观的方式跟家长沟通和交流。
以上是我在这学期工作中注意到的地方,有什么不对的地方希望各位同事进行批评和指正。同时也希望大家在新的一年里能够身体健康,工作愉快!
