短短一周的互动，孩子们体验到了满满的幸福感，收获了难忘的爱和友谊。来访老师们康健学子们的适应力和潜力都赞叹不已。孩子们热情好客，带领北卡老师们参观校园、外出品尝上海小吃，非常有小主人的风范；一起上课、一起晨锻、一起游戏，孩子们和北卡老师们很快打成一片，教室里、操场上总能看到他们欢乐的笑脸；孩子们还教客人老师们练武术，布置茶歇、唱卡拉OK，充分展示了康健学生的自信风采；北卡见习生还与康健老师们一起探讨、共同参与课堂教学，均为双方带来了建设性的启发和建议。同时，开展了AAC工作坊和集体研讨活动，进行了跨国界、跨文化的深度交流，覆盖了学生的言语发展、教学教育乃至生活支持服务等。

牵手北卡，合作共融

5月9日，我校迎来了北卡州立大学格林斯堡分校富布赖特项目小组11位研究生和2位教师。董李凤美康健学校16位教师与北卡教师两两结对，北卡老师分三周进入六个班级进行教学实习。

5月16日至5月20日，北卡老师来到六1班，提前制定好的一周日程安排与双方共同讨论的教学内容，让孩子们和北卡老师一起度过了充实而精彩的一周。孩子和北卡老师一起开展了丰富多彩的活动，一起学习乘地铁，一起玩游戏，老鹰捉小鸡、红绿灯、木头人、抛接球、抢凳子等。北卡老师还选取了5名沟通能力较差的孩子，对他们使用辅助沟通进行教学，通过图片、手势、ipad等帮助他们理解教学内容，更好的沟通和参与课堂。北卡老师还注意到班级学生吃饭吞咽困难的问题，每天中午都抽出时间，与班主任和孩子家长探讨如何让孩子更舒服的吃饭，这些画面让人动容。

此次活动促进了中美特殊教育教学交流，为教师提供了专业的互动交流平台，辅助沟通系统（AAC）的讲座及相关培训让老师们更好的了解AAC在沟通障碍儿童的教育教学中的运用，也提升了教师专业沟通、合作与反思的能力。这次活动也为康健学校提供了与外国友人交流的机会，孩子们都非常开心能够和他们一起学习玩耍，建立了深厚的友谊。

聚焦沟通、跨越文化、共促特教发展

特殊教育的发展离不开国际先进理念方法的引进与学习，近年来我校先后与美国、英国、香港等多地特教专家开展合作交流，促进本土化的专业发展。在2016年5月9日我校再次迎来了来自美国北卡州立大学格林斯堡分校富布赖特课程发展项目小组的2位教授和11位特教专业的研究生。该项目历经三年逐步深入，由我校、区国际教育交流中心以及北卡大学何晔博士共同策划商定以障碍学生的辅助沟通技术作为主题，以共同教学实践和工作坊研讨为互动形式，旨在促进中美教育多途径多层面合作的跨文化研究。

在近三周的时间里，我校的11位青年教师分别与每位研究生进行了结对，由两位大学教授带队分为两个小组与6个班级的师生展开了全方位的交流互动。根据项目双方的合作协议，11位实习教师主要通过课堂观察、共同教学、专题研讨、自主研修等形式来参与到我校的教育实践，真切地感受了解中国特殊教育的开展。每个班级的班主任老师也针对美国客人的到来，结合我校的特色课程快乐活动日与悦活课程，设计了丰富多彩的主题活动，并通过各种辅助沟通工具的运用，努力实现美国教师与学生们的无障碍沟通，让学生感受体验到外国人相处的快乐。此外，针对美国教师的专业特长，我校行为训练小组和与语训组教师还就图片沟通兑换系统的运用以及构音障碍的言语康复训练等专题开展了教学展示与互动研讨活动，丰富了老师们在言语语言训练方面的专业知识。

在实习间隙，两位言语语言病理学方向的大学教授Kristine和Perry还专程为我校以及区随班就读教师连续举办了三次AAC辅助沟通技术的专题讲座，讲座由理论背景知识讲解与案例研讨相结合。教师们了解了美国言语语言病理学专业的发展情况以及言语语言病理学家在学校中的角色和工作，同时对于AAC技术的基本概念以及在发音、语义、句法、语用等训练实践中的具体运用有了更直观和真切的感受。参训的老师们纷纷表示收获很大，并且能在自己的教学实践中去尝试运用所学技能。

在实习结束之际，我校在多功能室举行了简短的项目总结会，会上大家通过观看视频短片回顾了三周来美国客人在我校的快乐经历，双方教师代表纷纷表达了自己的学习体会与感受，我校叶校长和钱书记与两位教授互赠了礼物。最后区教育局国际教育交流中心的刘鹏老师对项目的圆满完成表示了祝贺，同时也勉励大家在后续加强沟通联系，促进中美项目在徐汇教育沃土上不断生根发芽。
