Nashua China Initiatives Case Study

We have to provide multiple opportunities for students to grow and learn. We need to be a culturally diverse school district that accepts everyone and encourages a pluralistic culture. We need to work together with our

Educators will experience scholarly preparing and social inundation opportunities like the understudy workshop with the goal that they will have a more extensive comprehension of Chinese society and considerations when they come back to their own particular

Each week a student is awarded the Kaizen-Gambatte award for contributions to the Pacific Rim Community. Students become civic actors in the sixth grade as they participate in civil, civic debates in “town meetings” (Seider, 2012). As students advance, they are afforded the opportunity to participate in the decision-making processes regarding school operation and governance. The concepts genuinely come to life outside the classroom via the Pacific Rim Enrichment Program, legacy projects, and the foreign exchange program with China as they apply gambatte and kaizen to their local and global communities. Through these programs, students are afforded the opportunity and motivation to become civically active as

The Chinese government set up a wide system of primary schools. For the first time in all of China’s history the majority of the population received a complete basic education. Even though the government’s “Great Leap Forward” program didn’t put

Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.

As its restrictions of being "down to earth", I trust this is the motivation behind why such a variety of schools of Chinese nationalities had

I am applying to my first choice program because I want to take intensive Chinese at one of the best universities in the world, and I also want to experience the culture that my dad has told me so much about since my freshman year of high school. Attending Peking University to study Chinese will help me meet my academic goals because currently I am a Chinese Studies intended major, and apart from having to study abroad, going to China on an immersion track will greatly help my Mandarin an immeasurable amount. I wish to advance my understanding, ability to speak the language in conversations, and try to become as close to fluent as possible. Ever since my dad signed me up for Chinese my freshman year of high school, without me knowing, it has always been a personal goal of mine to be fluent, or as close as I could get. Going to this university on this track will be the best way for me to reach that goal. Since my introduction to the Chinese language, a fascination has been born with China and Beijing in particular. My dad would always go on business trips to Beijing and bring back

With a couple of friends from my Chinese class, I founded a Chinese cultural club, Silk Road Club, to re-introduce and connect the Chinese culture with the student population. The benefits of this club are that you don’t need to be of Chinese heritage to appreciate the activities and

One experience so far in China that left a strong impression on my mind was a visit to the Shaanxi museum of history. Our tour guide was a locally educated young woman in her twenties. As she took us through the different periods of Chinese history, at every exhibit showing some sort of tool or mechanistic contraption she would turn and say “as you can see, the Chinese people are very smart!” She also recounted a story in which she was very offended that an American made a comment that Chinese people are short, to which she replied “yes, we are, but we have five thousand years of history and culture!” Both the richness and vastness of Chinese history was a huge source of pride for her, as her slightly illogical response to the American’s comment shows. In retrospect, her age denotes that she grew up on the government’s campaign in the 1990s to educated students about China’s greatness, to foster pride.

Over the past summer, I traveled alongside my peers to experience the culture and language we have dedicated ourselves to learning--Chinese. Over the twelve days that we spent traveling through four different cities, we documented our time through photographs, videos, and memories that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. I didn’t realize my leadership potential until after our return to the United States. After each trip to China, my teacher encourages her students to make a video which reflects our experience with total immersion in China. The reflection video project seemed to lack focus and direction, therefore I volunteered to take the lead on this project. With that came the responsibility of accurately portraying our experiences

The differences that exist between the Chinese and American education systems are great and obvious. However, some of these differences don’t play to the strengths of the representative country. American schools allow for greater freedom of movement and choice, while Chinese schools decide the “what”, “where”, and “how” of educational circumstance for the students (Bush, tony, and Qiang Haiyan). These differences in structure should lead to a greater educational standard being held by China, but that isn’t always the case. This paper will examine the differences in education system in the two countries and show that the Chinese system, while

In 2011, approximately 340,000 Chinese citizens attended foreign schools, per the Ministry of Education. Seemingly, in mostly urban areas, many consulting agencies have profited greatly by receiving service fees for assisting prospective students in the application process. Although some students decide to tackle the process on their own, a great number opt for an agency to conduct the cumbersome application process for them.

The events that have taken place over the past couple of centuries, and more so the past decade, have monumentally impacted the relationship between the United States and China for better and for worse. Today, China and the U.S. have evolved into two of the most elite superpowers in the world, and they classify as some of the most prominent leaders in economics, military, technology, and universal innovation. Currently, the United States is just weeks away from electing their next president, cyber-attacks are being investigated exponentially, and the South China Sea Debate continues to be disputed. The outcomes of all these events will undoubtedly affect the relationship between China and the United States for the next 10 years.

Phillip Chin and the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School are trying to find a balance between increasing revenue and staying in line with their mission and goals. They must find the ideal mix of course offerings and marketing efforts while maintaining school leadership.

In line with this fascination, in 2012, I chose history as my major and started my college education. As I took more history courses—including both pre-modern and modern history—I gradually realized how consistent the historical world and the contemporary world are. Although I’ve always considered myself a good student of history, I have not really had a thorough understanding of contemporary China, nor of what its future might be like. For that reason, in my future research, I really would like to undertake a deep exploration of Chinese public policy and humanities. I was attracted to the Chinese Health and Humanities program soon after I read its description. For example, I really found that the optional course Chinese Law and Health, and History of Chinese Medicine motivating, and I instantly realize what I want to learn and my future study field. I firmly believe that this program could provide me with such opportunities and help fulfill my education expectations.
