RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL is the future school of its affiliated institution, Renda Fuzhong School in Beijing China, with the dream of changing the face of education as part of contribution to society. It is the first public middle school in Mainland China to offer a 1-to-1 learning program that focuses on enhancing our students’ 21st Century skills.

Each equipped with a MacBook Pro and immersed in a complete wireless environment at school, RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL students are engaged in interactive new ways of learning to enhance their critical thinking, collaborative skills, communication skills, and creativity while at the same time gain useful content knowledge, all through an Apple platform that uses education-friendly apps and tools. The school adopts the 21 Century learning framework in its 1-to-1 pedagogy, with a particular emphasis on building Information, Media and Technology skills. Using mobile platforms such as iPads, iPhones, as well as social media sites, the school’s Challenge Based Learning (CBL) program has students work on Big Ideas, develop challenge statements, work out solutions, and reflect on the entire learning journey. RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL is the first and only public school to have represented China in participating in the global 2012 Education Leadership Summit held at Geneva, placing the school on the international CBL platform. On 19 May 2012, RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL was certified as an Apple Distinguished Program School. It is the first public school in China to receive the official recognition by Apple Inc.

Since its 1-to-1 learning program started, RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL has been closely collaborating with institutional partners such as the Beijing Normal University (BNU) in conducting workshops, lesson observations, and lesson design tutoring for teachers. The school also sends its teachers on overseas learning trips to international schools in Singapore, Hong Kong and Hawaii. Within Beijing, the teachers participate in the Beijing Learning Summit to share the school’s explorations in teaching and learning pedagogies. There are currently one APD Consultant and two Global ADEs in the school giving professional guidance for the program and conducting internal workshops for teachers. In addition, APD Consultant (Science) Dr. Randy Yerrick from New York University has provided training for Science teachers and held focus group discussions with the Challenge Based Learning project students.

Beijing Normal University assists RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL in measuring the 21 Century skill levels of its students as well as the feasibility and success of its overall 1-to-1 learning program. BNU also generates regular analysis reports which the school uses to review its teaching and learning for each semester.

RDFZ XISHAN SCHOOL aspires to be the Center of Excellence in Mainland China for 1-to-1 learning, particularly in the subjects of language (Chinese and English) learning, Mathematics, Geography, and Humanities. The school envisions an environment of customized learning for every student through the harnessing of mobile learning platforms, content knowledge, pedagogies and various modes of assessment.

人大附中西山学校是由中国人大附中冠名并委托管理的一所新办公立完全中学,是人大附中创办的“未来学校”,即面向未来的教育改革试验田。  人大附中西山学校的愿景是“幸福的”,不一样的未来学校”,使命是“培养具有21世纪技能的人才”、价值观是“生而优秀,必将卓越”,学生培养目标为“世界公民中国心”。它是中国第一所开展1对1数字化学习项目,并致力于发展学生21世纪技能的未来学校。

人大附中西山学校整个校园覆盖无线网络,师生每人配备一台苹果电脑,学生全情参与互动式的教学设计活动;通过高效应用苹果平台上的教育软件和工具,学生在获得学科知识的同时,教师也积极培养学生的批判性思维、协作能力、沟通能力以及创造力。学校将国际公认的21世纪学习框架纳入到1对1数字化学习项目的课程设计中,着重培养学生的信息、媒介与技术技能能力。学校借助移动学习设备如iPad和iPhone ,以及社群媒体网站的学习平台,让学生开展苹果挑战式学习(CBL )专题项目。不同的CBL 学生小组必须通过界定“核心主题”、提问“关键问题”、进而制定“可付诸行动的解决方案”,最后个人进行“项目整体反思及评估”。人大附中西山学校是国内第一所也是唯一一所代表中国参加在日内瓦举办的“2012年苹果全球教育领导力峰会”的公立完全中学,让CBL挑战式学习在中国教育史上写下历史性的一页!2012年的5月19日,人大附中西山学校更荣获苹果公司的认证,成为中国第一所公办的苹果杰出项目学校。

自推展1对1数字化学习项目以来,人大附中西山学校与许多高等学府,如北京师范大学,进行了紧密协作。双方开展了包括组织工作坊,课堂观察以及对教师教学设计的1对1指导等专业培训活动。学校还派出教师到新加坡、香港、夏威夷等地的国际知名学校参观交流、浸濡学习。在北京每年举办的“北京学习峰会”上,西山学校教师分享了在教学法和学习法上的研究和探索。目前学校有1位苹果专业发展顾问(APD   Consultant )以及2位全球苹果杰出教育工作者(Global ADE ),为项目提供专业的指导并组织教师研讨课程。除此以外,来自纽约大学的Randy  Yerrick博士作为学校科学学科的APD顾问,为科学老师提供培训,还为挑战式学习项目的学生进行专题指导。

北京师范大学协助人大附中西山学校针对学生在1对1数字化学习项目中的21世纪技能水平、项目的可行性和进展状况进行评估。北师大还定期为学校制定分析报告,学校根据报告来修订每一学期的教学和学习情况。

人大附中西山学校希望成为中国1对1数字化学习项目的卓越中心,尤其是在语言学习(语文

和英语)、数学、地理与人文等学科上。学校冀望通过移动学习平台、教学内容、教学方法和评估各模式的整合,为每个学生创造个性化学习的大环境。
