2020-21 遠距教學的公告 FAQs

2020-21 春季遠距教學

  • 遠距教學的原因
    根據蒙郡秋季校舍外租政策,我們可以推論春季校舍將持續不外租給社區團體。黎明中文學校2020-21春季將繼續全面採取遠距離線上教學。
  • 學費調整的考量
    雖然黎明在下學年秋季可以暫時不用支付校舍租金,但是在過去的三年裡,蒙郡校舍租金的持續升幅超過學校每年學費的收入,老師的薪資仍然是學校主要的花費支出。 有關其他調整學費的考量, 請參閱「有關學費不變的重要信息」。自COVID-19疫情於2020年三月爆發後,春季幾個月的遠距教學,給所有中文學校帶來了各種新的挑戰。為了因應改變需求,黎明教務處全面調整教學模式。從六月底起,師長們犧牲暑假休息,舉辦了長達六週的線上教師培訓。除了協助老師們熟悉各種線上平台的運用,修訂教學課程外,校方更提供了相關軟體與硬體教學資源的升級,及教材電子化的設計。有關老師培訓的相關訊息可以參閱華府新聞日報。基於以上各種因素以及黎明永續經營之考量,下學年之學雜費將維持不變。

2020-21 Spring Semester Distance Learning

  • Distance Learning Background
    According to 2020-21 fall semester facility rental policy, we can infer that the same policy will apply in the spring semester 2021. Therefore, the 2020-21 spring semester of the Li-Ming Chinese Academy will continue with virtual distance learning.
  • Tuitions Adjustment Considerations
    Although LMCA will receive a temporary financial relief by not paying school rent in the fall of the next school year; in the past three years, the continuous rent increase in MCPS has exceeded the school’s annual tuition income, and teacher salaries are still the main expenditure of the LMCA. For additional information, please see the “Important message about unchanged tuition”.For the past several months, distance learning has presented many difficult challenges for our school. To meet these challenges, the Li-Ming Academic Affairs team has worked hard to overhaul our teaching approach. Our teachers have sacrificed their own time to participate in a six-week-long training, revised the teaching curriculum and materials and became familiar with various online teaching platforms. In addition, Li-Ming has provided upgrades of related software and hardware resources. For additional information regarding teacher trainings, please see Washington Chinese Daily News. Based on the cause above and the consideration of long-term continuous operation, the tuition and fees for the next school year will remain unchanged..
