2023-2024学年上学期，进学优秀外教评选表彰活动，于2024年4月13日顺利举行。一共有10名外教荣膺不同奖项。

The selection and commendation ceremony for outstanding foreign teachers in the first semester of the 2023-2024 academic year was smoothly conducted on April 13, 2024, with a total of 10 foreign teachers receiving various honors and accolades.

在进学，我们更多聚焦教学本身，外教们用自己的专业知识和独特的教学方式，深深影响着每一个学生，点燃他们的学习热情，帮助他们了解世界多元文化，为学生的未来发展奠定了坚实的基础。

At TLD, we prioritize the core of teaching. Our foreign teachers, leveraging their profound professional knowledge and innovative teaching styles, deeply inspire every student, kindling their enthusiasm for learning and fostering their appreciation for multiculturalism. Through their efforts, they firmly establish a solid ground for students' future endeavors.

在众多优秀的外教中，经过所工作园长的推荐、外事主管的评审以及评委会的审慎抉择，最终脱颖而出的10位外教，分别荣获“以学生为中心”奖项、“为学校增值”奖项、“杰出协作”奖项以及“优秀外教”奖项等殊荣。这些奖项不仅是对他们过去辛勤工作的认可，更是对他们未来继续在国际教育领域发光发热的鼓励和期待。

Among the numerous exceptional foreign teachers, ten individuals have emerged victorious after being nominated by their respective school directors, evaluated by our foreign affairs supervisors, and carefully selected by the judging committee. They have been honored with prestigious awards such as the "Student-Centric Award", "School Value-Added Award", "Outstanding Collaboration Award", and the "Excellent Teacher" award. These accolades not only acknowledge their diligent efforts in the past but also serve as a testament to their potential to continue shining brightly in the international education sphere.

After the conclusion of the awards ceremony, General Manager Protoss delivered a speech. He began by extending heartfelt congratulations to the awarded foreign teachers and expressing gratitude for their contributions to the school's development. In his speech, Protoss emphasized the following key points: Firstly, he hoped that the foreign teachers would focus on delivering quality multicultural education to children, enabling them to explore a broader world within the classroom. Secondly, he encouraged the foreign teachers to participate more actively in school teaching activities and showcase their achievements, while also supporting and engaging in the school's marketing efforts, home-school collaborations, and other initiatives. This would help the school attract a larger pool of students, ensuring that its high-quality education could benefit even more children. Finally, he stressed the importance of personal growth and improvement, including enhancing teaching abilities, acquiring more knowledge and qualifications, and broadening one's thinking horizons. This would enable the foreign teachers to become even more accomplished international educators.
