2 . West Side Music Together
About
WSMT is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children from birth through age 5 and the grownups who look after them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based and developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
When you participate, you will receive our current songbook and CD, and you can download your music through our award-winning Hello Everybody app using your Music Together account. You’ll also have access to our WSMT Family Portal, where we will share musical inspiration, play-at-home videos and activities to try at home.
Connection to the Community
Our classes become communities themselves and families can often be seen at parks and local cafes together after class. Families really get time to know each other over the course of our ten-week programs and we also offer free community events each year to registered families.
Additional Information
Our mission is to provide the highest quality music and movement experiences to as many young children as possible and to involve their parents and other adult caregivers as their primary guides. All classes include one of our nine award-winning music collections and our free Hello Everybody app.
Our mixed-age family classes follow the recommendations of child development researchers — grouping children of a variety of ages — because this fosters (促进) natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating (模仿) older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Their caregivers also go together.

3 . The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities(MAPH)at the University of Chicago is designed to allow you the freedom to either focus on one academic discipline or explore interdisciplinary(跨学科的)interests that may not fit well within a traditional MA program. This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate in 9 months.
The Value of This MA ProgramMaster’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further graduate study or a career that much faster.
Academic SupportMAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this support comes from the following sources:
·All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director.
·Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor or Teaching Fellow throughout the year.
·Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to serve as their thesis advisor.
·Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with students to discuss course selection.

7 . Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Stanford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate (玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them—explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline—was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students (研究生) who came to work in his lab. When his PH. D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.
A major factor in the graduate students’ transformation. Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors (导师).
Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His aspiration is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.
