05 Teach Teachers How to Create Magic B老师如何创造魔力B
Christopher Emdin, science TED, October，2013
克里斯托弗·艾姆丁在TED的演讲
The reality is, the folks I described as the master teachers, the master narrative builders, the master storytellers are far removed from classrooms. The folks who know the skills about how to teach and engage an audience don't even know what teacher certification means.They may not even have the degrees to be able to have anything to call an education.And that to me is sad.It's sad because the people who I described, they were very disinterested in the learning process, want to be effective teachers, but they have no models.I'm going to paraphrase Mark Twain.Mark Twain says that proper preparation, or teaching, is so powerful that it can turn bad morals to good, it can turn awful practices into powerful ones, it can change men and transform them into angels.
实际上，我所描述的是教育大师、叙述大师、故事大师，而这些大师心里的课堂很遥远。那些掌握着如何教学并能够互动的人，甚至都不知道什么是教师资格证。或许他们都无法被人称之为教育者。这对于我来说，是件非常悲哀的事情。之所以是悲哀的事情，是因为我所描述的那些人，他们对学习的过程没兴趣，他们只想成为有效率的老师，但却没有成为范例。我要用马克·吐温的一句话表达。马克·吐温说适当的准备或教学，是非常强大的，可以将不好的品行变好，将糟糕的实践变得有趣，将改变人们，将他们改造为天使。
The folks who I described earlier got proper preparation in teaching, not in any college or university, but by virtue of just being in the same spaces of those who engage. Guess where those places are?Barber shops, rap concerts, and most importantly, in the black church.And I've been framing this idea called Pentecostal pedagogy.Who here has been to a black church?We got a couple of hands.You go to a black church, their preacher starts off and he realizes that he has to engage the audience, so he starts off with this sort of wordplay in the beginning oftentimes, and then he takes a pause, and he says，“Oh my gosh, they're not quite paying attention.”So he says，“Can I get an Amen?”
我之前说的那些有着适当教学准备的人，他们并不在大学里，他们只在有着同样兴趣的人中间，在可以产生互动的地方。猜猜在哪里呢？理发店，说唱音乐会，黑人教堂里。而我一直都在构造这个名为五旬节的教学法。有谁去过黑人教堂？有几个人。你们到一所黑人教堂，从他们做礼拜开始，就可以意识到他们需要吸引人的目光，因此他们就需要从文字游戏开始，然后突然停顿下来，并说：“哦，天哪，他们注意力没有集中哟。”然后说：“你们可以开始说阿门了吗？”
Audience：Amen.
观众：阿门。
Chris Emdin：So can I get an Amen?Audience：Amen.
克里斯·艾姆丁：大家一起说“阿门”好吗？观众：阿门。
CE：And all of a sudden, everybody's reawakened. That preacher bangs on the pulpit for attention.He drops his voice at a very, very low volume when he wants people to key into him, and those things are the skills that we need for the most engaging teachers.So why does teacher education only give you theory and theory and tell you about standards and tell you about all of these things that have nothing to do with the basic skills, that magic that you need to engage an audience, to engage a student?So I make the argument that we reframe teacher education, that we could focus on content, and that's fine, and we could focus on theories, and that's fine, but content and theories with the absence of the magic of teaching and learning means nothing.
克里斯·艾姆丁：刹那间，人们都清醒了。那个牧师提高了传道的声音来吸引注意力。当他想要锁住人们的注意力时，就会刻意将声音放低。那些正是最能鼓舞人心的老师所必备的技能。为什么在教师培训时，只是不停地传授理论，告诉教学的标准，告诉你那些与基本技能无关的东西，这既不能鼓舞听众，也无法激励学生，是些没有魔力的东西。所以我立论：我们应该重塑师资培训，我们可以专注教学内容，我们可以专注教学理论，但是只有内容和理论是没有任何教与学的魔力的，那些都是空谈。
