老师应当是通过自己的工作鼓舞同事，启发学生，激励学生，推动学生，最终达到良好的教务目标。

Teachers should encourage each other through their own good example;inspire,motivate and encourage students in order to ultimately achieve good educational goals.

这样的教务目标是为学生服务：培养好学生，塑造努力学习的学生，锻造有纪律感的学生，训练思维型学生，发展为未来做好准备的学生。

This kind of educational administration aims at our responsibility to our students:cultivating good quality students,molding students who study hard,forging students with a sense of discipline,training deep-thinking students and developing students who are prepared for the future.

Mr.Trevor说：指挥家没有演奏音乐的能力，但是他/她却具备为别人制造音乐的能力。他希望自己以及所有的老师当一名指挥家型老师。

Trevor made the analogy:“The conductor of an orchestra doesn’t make a sound,but he/she has the ability to help others create music.”His purpose in the new semester is to be more like a conductor who can awaken the limitless possibilities in others.
