Understanding by Design
UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN DATE: January 20 - 21, 2018 COST: $100 USD per person TIME: 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. REGISTRATION DUE: Friday, December 15, 2017 LOCATION: Shanghai American School, Puxi Campus, 258 Jinfeng Road Huacao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, China 201107 DESCRIPTION How can you design learning experiences that make it much more likely that students will understand content and be able to apply it in meaningful ways? Since 1998, thousands of educators globally, have used the Under- standing by Design (UbD) Framework® to answer that question and create more rigorous and engaging curricula. Workshop participants will apply a set of practical and proven UbD 2.0 tools and templates to create or refine a unit of study. More specifically you will learn to: • Apply the 3-stage “backward design” model for the development of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. • Use essentials questions to frame curriculum and focus on “big ideas”. • Apply processes for “unpacking” standards to establish curriculum priorities and determine content worthy of deep understanding. • Explore six “facets” of understanding and their implications for curriculum, assessment, and teaching. • Apply selected design tools to create authentic performance tasks based on the six “facets”. • Access a large collection of UbD-supportive web based resources. FACILITATORS Jay McTighe Janet Claassen Andrew Miller Fay Leong Jay McTighe is an accomplished author, having co-authored 14 books, including the award-winning and best- selling Understanding by Design series with Grant Wiggins. His books have been translated into 14 languages.

Chinainstitute Annualreport Mission
07 CHINAINSTITUTE ANNUALREPORT MISSION China Institute in America was founded in 1926 by a group of distinguished American and Chinese educators, including John Dewey, Hu Shih, Paul Monroe, and Dr. Kuo Ping Wen. It is the oldest bicultural organization in America focused exclusively on China.

International Security 24:1 66
China’s Search for a John Wilson Lewis Modern Air Force and Xue Litai For more than forty- eight years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has sought to build a combat-ready air force.1 First in the Korean War (1950–53) and then again in 1979, Beijing’s leaders gave precedence to this quest, but it was the Gulf War in 1991 coupled with growing concern over Taiwan that most alerted them to the global revolution in air warfare and prompted an accelerated buildup. This study brieºy reviews the history of China’s recurrent efforts to create a modern air force and addresses two principal questions. Why did those efforts, which repeatedly enjoyed a high priority, fail? What have the Chinese learned from these failures and how do they deªne and justify their current air force programs? The answers to the ªrst question highlight changing defense con- cerns in China’s national planning. Those to the second provide a more nu- anced understanding of current security goals, interservice relations, and the evolution of national defense strategies. With respect to the ªrst question, newly available Chinese military writings and interviews with People’s Liberation Army (PLA) ofªcers on the history of the air force suggest that the reasons for the recurrent failure varied markedly from period to period. That variation itself has prevented the military and political leaderships from forming a consensus about the lessons of the past and the policies that could work. In seeking to answer the second question, the article examines emerging air force and national defense policies and doctrines and sets forth Beijing’s ra- tionale for the air force programs in light of new security challenges, particu- larly those in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. -

Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang
What Maketh the Man? Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang Roslyn Joy Ricci School of Social Science/Centre for Asian Studies University of Adelaide November 2013 Abstract Dr Lin Yutang, philologist, philosopher, novelist and inventor was America’s most influential native informant on Chinese culture from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. Theoretical analysis of Lin’s accomplishments is an ongoing focus of research on both sides of the North Pacific: this study suggests why he made particular choices and reacted in specific ways during his lifetime. Psychobiographical theory forms the framework for this research because it provides a structure for searching within texts to understand why Lin made choices that led to his lasting contribution to transcultural literature. It looks at foundational beliefs established in his childhood and youth, at why significant events in adulthood either reinforced or altered these and why some circumstances initiated new beliefs. Lin’s life is viewed through thematic lenses: foundational factors; scholarship and vocation; the influence of women; peer input; and religion, philosophy and humour. Most of his empirical life journey is already documented: this thesis suggests why he felt compelled to act and write as he did. In doing so, it offers possible scenarios of why Lin’s talents developed and why his life journey evolved in a particular manner, place and time. For example, it shows the way in which basic beliefs—formed during Lin’s childhood and youth and later specific events in adulthood—affected his life’s journey. It analyses how his exposure to the theories of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism affected his early childhood basic belief—Christianity—and argues that he accommodated traditional Chinese beliefs within Christianity. -
