韩副校长：从班主任到学校管理者，角色在变，但关注学生成长的初心未变。在学生教育方面，我有几点深刻的体会。

首先，每个学生都是独特的，教育需要因材施教。在担任班主任期间，我负责管理超过百名学生的日常事务，与他们建立了深厚的师生关系。我发现，每个学生都有自己的优势和特点，作为教育者，我们需要善于发现这些闪光点。后来在学校管理工作中，我主导构建了分层分类的课程实施框架，聚焦学科融合与实践创新，引入了高校资源开发特色课程模块，其中就包含了人工智能基础等相关内容，目的就是为了满足不同学生的学习需求，让每个学生都能在学习中找到自信和兴趣。

其次，教育是一个全方位的过程，需要学校、家庭和社会的共同参与。我们创新建立了“成长合伙人”机制，通过定期举办家长座谈会、校友分享会等常态化活动，深度激活与利益相关者的合作网络。我始终认为，只有学校、家长和社会形成教育合力，才能为学生提供更全面、更优质的教育环境。

最后，要注重培养学生的综合素质，而不仅仅是知识的传授。我多次强调：“教育管理者的核心使命是为学生成长搭建多元化阶梯。”我们推动教学评估体系从传统分数导向向综合能力培养转型，就是希望引导教师和学生更加关注学习过程中的能力提升，在人工智能教育等新兴领域更是如此，需要多方协同为学生创造实践和探索的条件。

记者：在人才培养方面，您认为当前教育面临的最大挑战是什么？学校应该如何应对？

韩副校长：当前教育面临的最大挑战之一是如何在规模化教育中实现个性化培养。随着社会的发展，对人才的需求越来越多样化，而传统的规模化教育模式在一定程度上忽视了学生的个性差异。

为了应对这个挑战，我们在学校管理中采取了一系列措施。一方面，我们利用数字化技术推动教育的个性化。例如，推动建立学习行为分析模型，及时发现学生的学习问题，并提供个性化的指导。

另一方面，我们不断丰富课程体系，为学生提供更多的选择。除了国家规定的课程外，我们开发了一系列特色课程和选修课程，涵盖了不同的领域和学科，让学生可以根据自己的兴趣和特长进行选择。同时，我们还鼓励学生参与各种实践活动和创新项目，为他们提供展示自己才能的平台。

记者：您在访谈中多次提到教学评估体系转型，也听说贵校在教学评估体系改革中打破了 “唯分数论”，能否分享具体举措？

韩副校长：2021年我们启动"成长指数"评价改革，构建了包含认知能力、实践创新、社会情感等维度的评估模型，其中特别加入了技术应用与创新能力的评估维度，以适应人工智能时代对人才的要求。比如数学学科除了笔试，还设置"超市购物预算规划"等生活化测评；语文学科引入"辩论演讲+创意写作"的多元评价。更关键的是我们开发了"成长可视化系统"，用雷达图动态呈现学生在不同维度的发展轨迹，家长会上不再只谈分数，而是分析该生本学期在各个维度的进步情况。这种评价方式使学生的学习焦虑指数下降了，而主动参与课外探究的比例提升了。

记者：在推行过程中，如何说服家长接受这种非标准化的评价方式？

韩副校长：我们在实施教学评估改革的同时，也设立了 "评价改革开放日"，让家长亲身体验 "项目答辩"" 情境模拟 " 等新型测评方式，在人工智能相关的测评中，家长可以看到孩子如何运用编程知识解决实际问题，通过实践来感受这种非标准化评价的优势，特别是在评估孩子的创新思维和技术应用能力方面的独特价值。

记者：能否分享一个您在教育管理中印象深刻的小故事？

韩副校长：记得在推行 “成长指数” 评价改革初期，有位家长对多元评价持怀疑态度。后来我们邀请他参与 “智能社区设计” 项目评价，这个项目需要学生运用简单的编程知识和人工智能原理设计社区智能管理系统，他亲眼看到孩子在团队中负责算法逻辑设计时的出色表现，感慨道：“原来我的孩子在这方面这么优秀，这是成绩单上看不到的。” 这件事让我深刻体会到，教育创新需要让家长亲身体验，才能真正获得认同，尤其是在人工智能等新兴教育领域，更需要通过实践让家长看到孩子的潜力。

记者：在忙碌的管理工作中，您如何保持对教育的热情？有没有什么个人习惯？

韩副校长：我每天都会抽出1-2小时走进教室，去现场感受学生们对学习的反应。当看到学生因一个知识点豁然开朗，或是在课堂上迸发创意时，那种纯粹的求知欲总能让我重新感受到教育的意义。周末我也会参加教育论坛或阅读前沿期刊，保持对行业的敏感度。

记者：如果用一句话概括您的教育理念，会是什么？

韩副校长：教育是点燃火种，而非填满容器。我们要做的，是帮助每个学生找到属于自己的那束光。

教育是一项充满挑战和希望的事业，作为教育工作者，我们需要坚守教育本质，紧跟时代步伐，不断创新和探索，为培养更多适应未来社会发展的人才贡献力量。

三、未来教育的探索与学术教育的创新

The Thoughts and Actions of an Education Innovator - An In-depth Interview with the Executive Vice President of Shanghai Huawen Training College

Education is a vital undertaking for a nation. Amidst the tides of the times, educators bear the responsibility of nurturing talents for the future. On May 16, 2025, we had the privilege of interviewing the Executive Vice President of Shanghai Huawen Training College, a seasoned senior administrator with extensive experience in education and educational management. Throughout her career—from a frontline teacher to her current leadership role—she has led teams, formulated institutional policies, and driven innovative educational strategies, consistently elevating the college’s overall performance. She holds advanced academic credentials in education management, with her research and practice focused on education management, policy design, and learning innovation. In this interview, she shares profound insights into the education sector, experiences in student development, and reflections on integrating cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence into education. (This is a personal interview.)

I. Upholding the Essence of Education and Adapting to an Era of Change

Reporter: Hello, Vice President Han! Thank you for agreeing to this interview. First, after years in education, has your understanding of education’s essence evolved? In today’s rapidly changing world, what do you see as education’s core mission?

Vice President Han: Thank you for having me. Over my years in education, my understanding of its essence has deepened, but its core remains unchanged. At its heart, education is about "nurturing people"—empowering each individual to realize their potential and develop the ability to adapt to and contribute to society. This foundation has stayed constant, whether a decade ago or today.

In our digital, information-driven era, education’s core mission must evolve while honoring this essence. Today, education must prioritize cultivating "future-ready talents"—individuals with lifelong learning skills, innovative thinking, and resilience to navigate uncertainty. The pace of knowledge renewal now outstrips anything we’ve seen; we can no longer focus solely on imparting knowledge. Instead, we must teach students how to learn, think critically, and chart their own path in complex environments.

With artificial intelligence advancing rapidly, equipping students to collaborate with and harness AI has become a key part of education’s mission.

Reporter: To align with this mission, what targeted programs has your team developed to enhance both student learning outcomes and institutional operational efficiency?

Vice President Han: We’ve launched a "Dual Enhancement Initiative" that integrates digital solutions with evidence-based educational practices. For student outcomes, we developed a "Personalized Learning Path Program" using AI-driven diagnostic tools to identify knowledge gaps and recommend tailored learning resources—this has improved student pass rates in core courses by 20% over two years. For operational efficiency, we implemented a "Smart Administration Platform" that automates scheduling, resource allocation, and attendance tracking, reducing administrative workload by 30% and allowing staff to focus on educational support. Both programs were designed under my leadership, with regular performance reviews to ensure alignment with institutional goals.

Reporter: You’ve noted how the times are reshaping education. The post-pandemic era (with its accelerated digital transformation) has transformed education—how has this impacted school models, and what adjustments has your school made?

Vice President Han: The post-pandemic era (with its accelerated digital transformation) has profoundly altered education, most notably through digitalization. The rise of online teaching and accelerated educational digitization isn’t just a shift in methods; it’s a reshaping of educational philosophies and ecosystems. For schools, this presents both challenges and opportunities—particularly for integrating AI into education.

Our school has adjusted in two key ways. First, we’ve digitized our teaching system: upgrading to the "EduSmart 3.0" management platform (which integrates learning analytics, real-time collaboration tools, and resource libraries), partnering with edtech firms to deploy AI-powered adaptive learning software like "IntelliLearn" for math and science courses, and building a hybrid teaching framework that allows seamless switching between in-person and online instruction. This isn’t just for pandemic response but to align with future educational trends, laying technical groundwork for AI-driven education.

Second, we’ve emphasized resilience and adaptability. The pandemic showed us that future talents must thrive amid uncertainty. Thus, in campus culture, we’ve prioritized mental health—bringing in professional counseling teams and deploying digital assessment tools like "MindWell" to monitor student well-being. We’ve also boosted cultural innovation through monthly academic lectures on topics like "AI Ethics" and annual "Innovation Festivals" that feature student-led tech projects, creating a supportive environment that fosters resilience by encouraging experimentation and learning from failure.

This is critical for their future work with AI to solve complex problems, as AI-driven projects often require iterative testing and adaptation—resilient students are better equipped to troubleshoot algorithmic errors, refine machine learning models, and collaborate with teams to adjust solutions based on real-world feedback.

II. Insights into Student Education and Talent Development

Reporter: Having served as a class teacher, office director, and now vice president, you’ve accumulated rich experience in student development. What key lessons have you learned along the way?

Vice President Han: Roles change, but my focus on student growth remains. Three insights stand out, each guiding specific management methods and policy designs:

1.        Personalized Education Policy: Every student is unique—education must be personalized. As a class teacher overseeing over 100 students, I built close relationships and saw each had distinct strengths. As an administrator, I led the creation of a stratified, categorized curriculum framework (divided into foundational, advanced, and honors tiers) that integrates interdisciplinary learning (e.g., "AI + Environmental Science" modules) and hands-on innovation labs. We partnered with top universities to develop specialized modules, including AI fundamentals, ensuring every student finds confidence and passion in learning.

2.        Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration Method: Education is a collaborative effort involving schools, families, and society. We designed and implemented a "Growth Partner" system—our core collaboration policy—that includes quarterly parent workshops on educational trends, bi-monthly alumni career talks (especially with professionals in AI and tech), and partnerships with local enterprises to provide internships. This activates a network of stakeholders, uniting forces to provide a holistic educational environment.

3.        Competency-Based Assessment Reform: We must nurture holistic skills, not just knowledge. I often say: "Educators exist to build diverse ladders for student growth." To implement this, we led a policy shift from score-centric to competency-focused assessment—guiding teachers to integrate skill-development rubrics (e.g., critical thinking, AI tool proficiency) into evaluations and creating practice opportunities like AI project competitions. This reform aligns assessment with real-world skill demands.

Reporter: What’s the biggest challenge in talent development today, and how should schools address it?

Vice President Han: A major challenge is balancing mass education with personalized learning. Society demands diverse talents, but traditional one-size-fits-all models overlook individual differences. To address this, we’re using digital tools to personalize education—for example, developing learning behaviour analytics to identify gaps and offer tailored guidance. We’ve also expanded our curriculum, adding electives and specialized courses across disciplines, letting students choose based on interests. We encourage participation in projects and competitions, giving them platforms to showcase abilities.

Reporter: You’ve mentioned reforming assessment to move beyond "score-only" evaluations. What innovative strategies has your school implemented?

Vice President Han: In 2018, we launched the "Growth Index" reform, creating an assessment model covering cognitive skills, practical innovation, and social-emotional competencies—including a focus on tech application and innovation to meet AI-era demands. For example, math assessments now include real-world tasks like "supermarket budget planning"; Chinese uses "debate + creative writing" for multi-dimensional evaluation.

Crucially, we developed a "growth visualization system" that uses radar charts to track progress across dimensions. Parent-teacher meetings now focus on growth, not just grades. This has reduced student anxiety and increased participation in extracurricular exploration. It has also earned recognition such as the "National Educational Assessment Innovation Award" and "Provincial Model Program for Competency-Based Education".

Reporter: How did you convince parents to accept this non-standardized approach?

Vice President Han: We hosted "Evaluation Reform Open Days," letting parents experience new methods like project defenses and scenario simulations. In AI-related assessments, they saw their children using programming to solve real problems—witnessing firsthand how this approach better evaluates innovation and technical skills.

Reporter: To highlight your professional contributions in educational innovation, could you share a case where your leadership drove impactful reform?

Vice President Han: When rolling out the "Growth Index" in 2019, we faced resistance from some teachers who feared increased workload. I led a pilot program in three grade levels, designing a simplified assessment toolkit (integrating AI-powered grading assistants to reduce manual work) and organizing peer-learning workshops where early adopters shared best practices. After six months, pilot classes showed a 25% increase in student engagement and 90% teacher support. We then scaled the reform school-wide, and it later won the "Provincial Excellent Educational Innovation Project"—this case demonstrated how strategic piloting and teacher-centric design can drive successful policy implementation.

Reporter: How do you stay passionate about education amid busy management work?

Vice President Han: I spend 1-2 hours daily in classrooms, observing students’ engagement. Seeing them grasp a concept or spark creativity reignites my purpose. Weekends, I attend forums or read journals to stay updated—keeping that connection to the field.

Reporter: How would you summarize your educational philosophy?

Vice President Han: Education is lighting a fire, not filling a vessel. Our job is to help each student find their own light. Education is a mission fraught with challenges yet brimming with hope. As educators, we must honor its essence, adapt to change, and innovate to nurture talents ready for tomorrow’s world.

III. Exploring Future Education and Innovating Academic Approaches

Reporter: AI’s role in education is growing—how do you see its impact, and what has your school done in AI education?

Vice President Han: AI is transforming education’s methods, content, and philosophy. It enables personalized, intelligent learning—recommending tailored content, aiding teachers in management and assessment, and boosting efficiency.

At our school, we’ve taken active steps: introducing foundational AI courses covering basic machine learning, Python programming (Intermediate), and smart algorithm applications, ensuring systematic learning. We also launched the "AI Innovation Lab Program"—funded through institutional grants and corporate partnerships—which provides students with access to tools like TensorFlow and Raspberry Pi for hands-on projects. This program has produced 12 winning teams in regional AI competitions, including the "Youth AI Challenge". In teaching, we emphasize AI as a tool and mindset. Our curriculum cultivates AI literacy, preparing students for future demands. This initiative earned our school the "National Outstanding School for AI Education Integration" award in 2024.

Reporter: You mentioned fostering AI mindset. What’s your view on AI academic education, and where should schools invest?

Vice President Han: AI education goes beyond technical skills—it builds analytical thinking, algorithmic reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. As semiconductors are AI’s core, their fundamentals should also be included; these skills will serve students lifelong.

Schools investing in AI education should focus on:

1.        Curriculum design: A comprehensive system integrating AI basics, core technologies, applications, and chip principles—layered by age. For example: primary schools (AI introduction), middle schools (programming + chip basics), high schools (advanced algorithms, chip-AI integration).

2.        Teacher training: Building a team with AI and chip expertise through training and recruitment. Partnering with universities, labs, and enterprises to invite experts—especially in chip R&D and AI algorithms—to lecture.

3.        Practical environments: Funding AI labs and chip technology zones, with advanced equipment. Organizing competitions like the National Youth Science Innovation Contest（NYSCI） or chip design challenges to build skills through practice.

4.        Interdisciplinary integration: AI connects math, computer science, and statistics; semiconductors involve physics, chemistry, and materials. Linking these fields nurtures holistic, innovative thinking.

IV. Educational Leadership and the Future of the Industry

Reporter: As a senior administrator, what’s your core responsibility? What’s the biggest challenge in driving innovation, and how have you overcome it?

Vice President Han: My core responsibility is to define the school’s strategic direction, build a culture of innovation, and lead the development of educational programs—particularly in frontier fields like AI and semiconductors—to nurture in-demand talents, thereby elevating institutional performance.

A key challenge is balancing traditional educational models with innovation. In AI education, this meant addressing gaps in curricula, teacher expertise, and parental understanding. We’ve taken a gradual, data-driven approach: first conducting benchmarking research (visiting leading AI-focused schools like Tsinghua University High School and consulting experts from the Chinese Society of Artificial Intelligence), then launching small-scale pilots (e.g., AI electives in 10th and 11th grades) to gather feedback, and finally communicating transparently with parents through expert lectures and student project showcases. This strategy ensured smooth adoption—our AI courses now have a 95% enrollment rate, and parent satisfaction has risen to 92%.

Reporter: Finally, how do you envision education’s future, and what will define it?

Vice President Han: Education will grow more diverse, personalized, and intelligent—with AI central and greater focus on foundational technologies like semiconductors. It will offer customized learning, blend online-offline models, and use AI/big data in management and assessment. Interdisciplinarity and practical skills will be prioritized, fostering innovation and problem-solving. Yet regardless of technological advances, education’s core—fulfilling human potential—must endure. Technology should serve "guiding each learner to carve out their unique growth trajectory."
