I am Stephen Pulsford and I teach IB courses at Mingyuan high school. I graduated from Monash University in Melbourne Australia with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with a double major in English and History. Following that I took a post-graduate degree in Education from Monash University and in Media Studies specialising in the use of modern media in education. I have also been a senior member of the Year 12 examination board of English in the state of Victoria. I believe that the pursuit of academic excellence should be challenging but also engaging and enjoyable. My greatest enjoyment comes from the moment when I am able to inspire students to become self motivated and independent learners. I believe that the greatest lesson to be learnt is to know how to look at things in many different ways and to look at things more deeply. These skills not only set the students for true academic success but also for a lifetime of learning.

　　我是Stephen Pulsford 现在在铭远高中教授IB 课程。我毕业于于澳大利亚墨尔本的莫纳什大学，在艺术(荣誉)学科获得英语和历史双学位学士。之后，获得莫纳什大学教育研究生学位和媒体教学中专攻现代化媒体教学应用的硕士学位。我也是英国的维多利亚州12 年级英语考试委员会的资深成员。我认为追求学术上的卓越是具有挑战性的，不但具有吸引力，并且令人愉悦。我最大的乐趣来自于我能够启发学生成为能自我激励和独立的学习者。我认为，最好的课是让学生学到，如何用不同方法看待同一件事情，并且能更深入的进行批判性思维。这些技能不仅仅为学术上的成功而设置，同样也为终身学习而启蒙。
