Stephenie Lee, special education specialist and advocate, is excited to share insights and research at the Beijing American Center on Tuesday, November 12. Stephenie has been supporting students across North America and Asia for over a decade, on Gates Foundation and Chan Zuckerberg funded initiatives, collaborating with families, public and private schools, and researchers in China and the U.S. As founder of Beacon Learning and board member of SENIA-Beijing, Stephenie has worked to foster a community in Beijing for greater inclusivity and accessibility to vital resources as families discover more about their child’s learning profile and make educational choices based on that. Stephenie has been involved in hosting awareness events, educational conferences, teacher trainings, and parent talks, and what she loves to do best, supporting individual students hand-in-hand with their teachers and families. 

Stephenie Lee，特殊教育专家和倡导者，将于11月12日星期二在北京美国中心分享她的见解和研究。斯蒂芬妮在过去十多年中，一直在北美和亚洲支持学生，参与盖茨基金会和陈·扎克伯格基金会资助的项目，并与中国和美国的家庭、公立和私立学校及研究人员合作。作为Beacon Learning的创始人和SENIA-北京分会的董事会成员，斯蒂芬妮致力于在北京建立一个社区，推动包容性和获得重要资源的机会，让家庭能够更好地了解孩子的学习特质，并据此做出教育选择。斯蒂芬妮参与了举办提高意识的活动、教育会议、教师培训和家长讲座，同时她最热爱的工作是与老师和家庭携手，一对一地支持学生。 

In this sharing, Stephenie will offer insights and research regarding the complexity of raising kids in multilingual and multicultural contexts and how that complexity can be further compounded by questions regarding a child’s learning profile. Drawing on her personal experiences as a third culture kid and her many years supporting children in North America and Asia, Stephenie will seek to answer questions that often come up with educators, parents, and children themselves. In this talk, attendees are welcome to come with their own questions! 

在此次分享中，斯蒂芬妮将探讨在多语言和多文化环境中养育孩子的复杂性，以及当涉及孩子的学习特质时，这种复杂性如何进一步加剧。她将结合自己作为第三文化孩子的个人经历，以及多年在北美和亚洲支持孩子的经验，尝试回答教育者、家长和孩子们常常提出的问题。在这次讲座中，欢迎与会者带着自己的问题前来讨论！
