I am honored to have the chance to join DENER’s 2019 seed teacher training and my heart is full of gratitude! Thanks to founder Angela for creating a kind, beautiful, and warm organization for the world. Members of DENER’s Children Foundation are like the masters in the picture book story ” Miss Rumphius”, spreading the intelligent seeds of hope, warmth, and love so children’s world would become more beautiful!

Participating in the seed teacher training class, I felt that the teacher group was very attentive, passed down many years of teaching techniques to the seed teachers in order to enrich their teaching strength. In fact, teaching strategies can be so diverse and interesting. They can be led through drama, broadcast, board games, mind maps and art.

Reading is like a butterfly effect that unfolds tremendous changes in thought, value, knowledge and behavior. Before reading, one can guide the questions to stimulate imagination and curiosity; During reading, one can understand the knowledge and the context in the book; Using mind maps to extract key points and integrate into summary. And finally, when I display my results, I found that I needed to strengthen the integration and narrative ability.

What impressed me the most was Teacher Xu’s science reading class. Teacher Xu, who spent a lot of effort accompanying children, taking the class outside through practical exploration, contacting with the nature, and leading children to explore the philosophy and social issues in an “environmental education” manner. He is devoted to lead students to learn and grow, and encourage students to express their ideas. Teacher Xu did not give students standard answers but train students to feel, reflect and put forward critical opinions, and be responsible for their own decisions. When I discussed with Teacher Xu, his attitude touched me and gave me support.

Good teachers will discover students’ talents and encourage students to believe in their own self-worth. If there were many more good teachers in the world like Teacher Xu, I believe the world would be wonderful.

Every child is unique. Through reading, one can access the world and dig the treasure of life wisdom. Multiple teaching strategies stimulate children’s reading interest as well as open up international perspectives and connect them with the world and inspire children’s potential. Finally, the purpose of reading is to nurture children to learn on their own, turn their destiny through the power of knowledge.

To sum up, I hope that I can become a person who has the ability to pass love on. I hope more people would join DENER! Let love spread! Enrich your life experience, and make our world full of hope and warmth!
