约翰先生是浙江师范大学附属花园外国语学校 国际部的联合创始人兼校长,曾在美国、非洲、欧洲和中东的高中和大学执教,并且在坦桑尼亚和委内瑞拉的国际学校工作9年,任业务经理。近15年来,约翰历任阿塞拜疆、孟加拉国和印度的三所国际学校的主管或CEO,并且带领学校获得了一条龙的IB课程和CIS(国际学校委员会)的授权认证。当时这些学校都是在起步阶段,急需提升办学层次和更国际化的课程,所以就引入了IB小学、中学和大学预科课程项目。同时,这些学校也需要国际教育机构的认证,如ECIS(欧洲国际学校委员会)/CIS(国际学校委员会)和NEASC(新英格兰学校和学院协会)。
我们机构认为,在课堂教学实践中,IB的课程体系和方法论是最棒的。IB课程注重发展学生的思维和分析能力。IB学生要有创造力和高效率。IB的理念又强调全人教育,所以就保证了美学教育和情感教育,跟学术技能的培养同等重要,这才能确保学生在未来的全球化社会中取得成功。
作为IBO亚太区的常任培训官,约翰专门为学校拥有人、投资者提供IB学校管理的培训,是一位真正的IB国际文凭教育专家。

IBE sees the IB curriculum and methodology as the best in its class as a programme that develops the thinking and analytical skills that students need to be creative and effective. The IB philosophy with its emphasis on the whole child ensures that aesthetic and emotional education is as important as the academic skills that students need to succeed in a globalized society.
