“預(yù)期與期待的力量”
美國上個世紀(jì)進行過一次非常有趣的教學(xué)試驗。當(dāng)時,幾位教育研究者到一所公立學(xué)校給全校學(xué)員發(fā)放了診斷性測試,并告知學(xué)校說其中有一個班級的“天才”數(shù)量遠超于其他班級,因此應(yīng)重點培養(yǎng)。果不其然,三年后當(dāng)研究者重新回到學(xué)校跟進結(jié)果的時候,發(fā)現(xiàn)該“天才班”學(xué)員的成績要遠超于其他“普通”班級,并有很多學(xué)員最終圓夢頂尖名校。但研究者后來才公布,其實當(dāng)年“發(fā)現(xiàn)”的天才班數(shù)據(jù)是他們編造出的。實際上,當(dāng)初這個“天才班”和其他班級并無任何明顯的學(xué)術(shù)水平差異。
此研究主要證明的結(jié)果是預(yù)期和期待的力量。當(dāng)老師、學(xué)校、家長都開始相信自己的孩子是天才,相信他們能夠進入世界名校的時候,孩子自己慢慢也會相信,并逐步的達到外界對自己的預(yù)期,并最終真的圓夢名校。
很多時候,我們的孩子并不是沒有潛力進入名校,只是我們沒有開發(fā)出這些潛力。清瀾山標(biāo)化考試中心成立的初衷之一,就是以最高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求我們的每位學(xué)子,給與他們信任和支持,激活他們的全部潛能,讓孩子最終確信,自己一定可以憑借自己的力量,進入夢想學(xué)府。
當(dāng)然,僅憑信念是不足以圓夢的。國外學(xué)府在考察申請人時會考慮以下幾項因素:GPA,標(biāo)化考試成績,文書寫作,課外活動。標(biāo)化考試學(xué)院會最大化的幫助孩子提升前三項因素。
In the twentieth century, the US conducted a very interesting education experiment. Several researchers released and analyzed the result of a diagnostic test to all students in a public school, then told the school that one of their classes contains an unusual high number of “gifted” students, and therefore the school should pay extra attention. Not surprisingly, students who were in the identified class achieved much better learning outcome than those who are in regular classes, and many of which successfully entered their dream schools.
But it was not until the end of the experiment did the researchers publish that there were no gifted students at all. All the data were fabricated to intentionally leave faculty and parents with the impression that their kids were gifted.
The result of this experiment shows the power of expectation. When faculty, parents and the school truly believe that a student is gifted and that she has the potential to enter world-class universities, they usually start to believe in themselves too, meet expectations and eventually do end up in their dream schools. More often than not, our kids don’t lack the potential to enter the best universities. The problem is that potential is often buried deep, and we have to find and develop it.
One of the goals of TSSA is to establish high standards for every student, to provide trust and support, to activate all their potential, and finally to make sure that each student believes that they can enter their dream school by their own efforts.
Of course, faith alone does not fulfill our dreams. When assessing competency of applicants, the admission officers of universities often considers the following factors: GPA, Standardized tests scores, personal statement and writing samples, and extracurricular activities. We help students maximize the first three factors.

“學(xué)院承諾”
TSSA會呵護與激發(fā)學(xué)生們對于英語學(xué)習(xí)的熱情與興趣。教師不斷尋找最實時,最能激發(fā)孩子們思考的學(xué)習(xí)材料,幫助他們提升英語理解能力和解題能力,并最終達到標(biāo)化考試顯著提分的目標(biāo)。TSSA在指導(dǎo)學(xué)生語言學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,推進塑成他們未來學(xué)習(xí)生活必備的核心素養(yǎng),包括毅力、審辯性思維、團隊合作與溝通等,并逐漸成為終身學(xué)習(xí)者。
TSSA會培養(yǎng)孩子的全球化視野。在全球化的長遠趨勢下,我們分享和傳遞給學(xué)生們的,不僅僅是語言與測試的工具,更是與不同文化、背景、身份、地域的人相互理解、包容、溝通與合作,并最終共同解決問題,造福社會的格局與能力。

In the end, our goal is to both dramatically improve test scores and strengthen English core skills.
In addition, TSSA also aims to provide students with other soft skills which are essential for becoming a true life-long learner, such as grit, critical thinking, teamwork and effective communication.
We also promise that we put the cultivation of global vision as one of our top priorities. Under the long-term trend of globalization, not only do we provide students with the tools to better cope with tests, but we also give them the skills and mindset to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems with people from different cultures, backgrounds and civilizations. We hope students have readily at their hands the skills to improve and change the world.

“學(xué)院教學(xué)模式”
TSSA采用中西合璧的教學(xué)模式。
在為6-9年級的學(xué)員備考時,將采取西方近幾年在腦神經(jīng)學(xué)和認(rèn)知科學(xué)的最新研究成果以保證學(xué)習(xí)的長期遷移,如Grant Wiggins的Understanding by Design (UBD), Peter C. Brown的retrieval practice, spaced practice and interleaving. 做到不斷通過診斷性小測試,精準(zhǔn)定位學(xué)員的薄弱能力點,再有針對性的逐個解決問題,牢固且逐步的幫學(xué)員提升其各項聽、說、讀、寫、批判性思維、以及團隊合作能力及領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。
在幫助9-11年級學(xué)員在考試沖刺刷分階段,將采取新東方式的短期高強度的密集授課以及配合題海戰(zhàn)術(shù),快速有效的幫學(xué)員習(xí)得考試技巧,以實現(xiàn)短期快速提分,速戰(zhàn)速決,為學(xué)員的升學(xué)申請留存寶貴的時間。
TSSA的教學(xué)模式包括但不限于:中式傳統(tǒng)講授、蘇格拉底式教學(xué)法、英文原著閱讀、探究式學(xué)習(xí)、項目制學(xué)習(xí)、辯論及演講。
TSSA blends the best of Chinese and Western educational philosophies and practices.
When preparing students from Grade 6 to Grarde 9, we implement the latest findings from Western neuroscience and cognitive research. For example, Understanding by Design (UBD) by Grant Wiggins and retrieval practice, spaced practice and interleaving are all incorporated into our curriculum to ensure long-term transfer of knowledge and skills.
Using well-designed and diagnostic quizzes, we quickly identify the specific weak areas where students need guidance and further practice. In this way, we lay a solid foundation for each individual core skill: reading, listening, speaking, writing, critical thinking, teamwork and leadership.
When preparing students from Grade 9 to Grade 11, our goal is to get the best score in the shortest time frame. We use short-term, high intensity programs to quickly build a systematic framework of skills and techniques to help students better deal with the tests, which saves students precious time to focus on other aspect of demanding college application.
Our pedagogies include but are not limited to: well-designed lectures, socratic seminar, English fiction & non-fiction book clubs, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, debate and group presentations.

“升學(xué)文書寫作指導(dǎo)”
申請國外本科大學(xué)時,學(xué)員除了需獲得標(biāo)化考試高分外,還需寫出漂亮的文書,其中包括個人陳述(Personal Statement, or Statement of Purpose), 寫作樣本展示(Writing Sample),以及各類申請簡述題。
文書在申請時,是除了冰冷冷的考試分?jǐn)?shù)外,能夠幫助面試官形成一個鮮活、立體、積極向上的學(xué)員的重要考慮因素。因此,學(xué)員的文書寫作技巧將對申請結(jié)果起到非常重要的作用。TSSA對于文書寫作的培訓(xùn),將一步一步幫助學(xué)員確定自己的寫作風(fēng)格、習(xí)慣,并不斷提升能力、技巧和深度。如何以清晰簡潔的語言,精巧獨特的謀篇布局,引人入勝的故事角度與敘述方式,在數(shù)以萬計的文書中,快速抓住面試官注意力;如何娓娓道來自己的人生歷程和心境變化;如何突出主線,不喧賓奪主;如何最后結(jié)尾升華,畫龍點睛……這些都將是學(xué)生們將在我們的文書寫作課程中獲得的內(nèi)容。
When applying to universities, in addition to high test scores,it is imperative that students have excellent writing skillswhich allows them to compose high-quality Statement of Purpose (SOP), writing samples and responses to application questions.

TSSA will teach students how to write the best SOP and writing sample, by gradually mastering the core writings skills and techniques, and by aiding each student to find and form a distinct style of writing.
Students will learn how to communicate ideas precisely and concisely, how to lay out the best overall structure, how to describe the changes of one’s understanding about the world and about oneself, how to grab the attention of admission officers from tens of thousands of applications by using skillful storytelling and appeals to emotions, how to highlight the main thread, and finally, how to write the perfect conclusion.
