APS雅博領英孩童公眾演講
– 亞城第一家為華二代打造的演講訓練營

ABOVE Public Speaking (ABOVE or APS) 是一個專門為亞城「華二代」服務的非盈利教育機構。ABOVE致力於提高華人孩子們（Pre-K到8年級）的演講能力，領英才能，鍛煉社交技巧和自信心。從2016年10月發展至今短短的10個月中，APS已經建立了系統專業的培訓內容，並且吸收了多達20多人的強大師資團隊，在九個班級里幫助了近百位孩童受眾。

為什麼要參加APS？

在現代社會，除了要擁有淵博的知識和掌握各種技能，向不同的人群展示自己的才能，傳播自己的理念也是非常重要。APS就是為青少年提供這樣一個社交和演講平台！讓別人能知道你的長處，傾聽你的聲音，理解你的想法，認同你的觀念。

在這裡，你會得到鼓勵，拋開害羞侃侃而談。在這裡，孩子們可以告別緊張和局促不安，說出自己心底的話語，那是埋藏許久不敢說的話。在這裡，他們能接觸到不同的人交到朋友，聽到很多新穎的觀點並能激發自己的創新能力。2017年5月中旬，APS的夏季彙報演出舞台下座無虛席。四年級的Zelin 在百餘人面前由衷地向老師們鞠躬致謝，坦言在APS受益匪淺。5月底，APS首開兒童心理講座。請來了兒童心理學博士，Fulton小學系統心理輔導，作家 Dr. Donna Gardner。現場30位學生們模擬如何對應校園中的各種隱形 bullying 問題。活動好評如潮！

APS是如何運作的呢？

在這支由核心家長們密切合作的團隊中，主要有兩大部分。

第一，教案編寫組，這是APS的核心團隊。教案組一位老師來自加州，她多年有Toastmaster Youth培訓的經驗，也長期開課教公眾講演。另外一位老師是有近20年大學教授並且長期公眾演講的經驗，擁有教育學院碩士和博士學位，因為她的碩士主修教案編寫，所以非常適合開發教案。我們最新的一位教案老師原來是大學辯論隊隊員，也擁有豐富的現場經驗。此外，教案組的老師們都是附近 Toastmaster International 的固定成員。

APS中間有四位老師於2017年年初接受了CNN 16年頭條新聞主播 Sachi Koto 女士的演講集中訓練。

第二，教師組，是最直接的信息傳遞和教導者。他們中間有的是老師，有的是醫生，有的是工程師，都是各行各業的博士碩士們。當教案編寫好了以後，經過培訓的教師組近20人實踐上課和排演。值得一提的是，我們的教師都是對孩子們盡心儘力的家長義工。APS的原則是，經過考核的老師只帶自己孩子所在的那個班，因為她／他最了解這個年齡的孩子們如何教，需要什麼資源，以及如何考核學習的效果。
