不讓孩子被漏接 不讓老師在孤島中奮戰借鏡美國KIPP公辦民營學校在台灣偏鄉建構世界一流的教育「他（方新舟）絕對是、絕對是台灣這波新教育浪潮的主將。」──公益平台文化基金會董事長　嚴長壽依教育部統計，截至109年度，在台灣的3000多所中學及小學中，有1200多所是6班以下的小校。小校老師時常身兼數職，且在時間與地域的限制下，面臨沒有足夠能量照顧班上每一位孩子的困境，老師如同在孤島中奮戰，甚至往往奮鬥幾年後就選擇離開。 在教師專業發展支持系統和學生學習準備度普遍不足，以及家庭學習支持力道薄弱等種種挑戰下，偏鄉孩子的基本學力普遍待加強，學習的動機更需要提升。這些孩子在離開校園後，相較於其他同齡學生，往往因為少了強而有力的教育支持與多重限制和挑戰，侷限了他們對未來成功人生的想像與追求動能。 何謂KIST？脫胎自美國KIPP公辦民營學校的在地模式 美國的KIPP（Knowledge Is Power Program）公辦民營學校以「努力學習、友善待人」（Work hard. Be nice.）為校訓，將堅毅、樂觀等七個品格置於教育的核心。自1994年成立至今，KIPP在美國弱勢學區成立了200餘所學校，有96%學生來自社會底層或少數族裔，但根據2014年的報告指出，KIPP的學生完成大學學業的比例高達44%，比其他成長於同環境的孩子高出五倍。 KIPP關注弱勢族群、強調品格的教學，成立超過20年且擴散至全美，與方新舟先生創辦的誠致教育基金會使命及「三不原則」不謀而合，因此自2014年實驗教育三法通過後，方新舟先生即積極與KIPP建立合作關係，期許以其成功經驗為鷹架，並萃取台灣在地化模式，發展為台灣的KIST（KIPP Inspired School in Taiwan）體系學校。KIST 借鏡美國 KIPP 公辦民營學校的經營模式，透過品格教育奠基，以「努力學習，友善待人」（Work hard. Be nice.）為校訓，將堅毅、樂觀等七個品格能力置於核心，並且將它們融入組織文化、學校環境、課程教學與師生互動當中。用品格能力激勵內在動機，維持孩子在學業上的高動機與高成就，培養弱勢孩子面對未來生活、翻轉人生的能力，讓孩子具備「走出家鄉的能力，走回家鄉的品格」，建構給孩子公平發展天賦的舞台。本書從方新舟先生投入公益的原點的開始，漸次描繪他胼手胝足、與夥伴共同打造誠致的過程，到K
