School Wind:
The school attaches great importance to the discipline and moral education of its students. It has established a Whole School Approach and adopts a double or triple classroom teacher system in which all teachers are involved in the discipline and counseling work. The school liaises closely with parents and organizes parent seminars and workshops through the Parent-Teacher Association to strengthen cooperation between the school and parents. In addition to two social workers and an educational psychologist stationed at the school, the school also employs a full range of learning assistants and discipline social workers to help students and parents solve their problems.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school's curriculum plan integrates students' learning and life, providing them with diversified learning experiences, effectively catering for learning motivation, interests, abilities and promoting independent learning.
Teachers always make use of communication and discussion, and make full use of various assessments to analyze students' learning performance and learning difficulties, and provide timely feedback to enhance the overall quality of learning and teaching. Schools also make use of appropriate measures, such as peer lesson observation and checking of homework books, to monitor the implementation of the curriculum, to grasp the quality of teaching and learning, and to help adjust the direction of curriculum development through review and reflection.
Teachers create interesting learning environments for students and connect students' life experiences to stimulate active learning. Teachers provide students with rich opportunities for communication, collaboration and experience in the learning process, thus effectively enhancing their generic skills. Teachers also make good use of subject resources and information technology to arrange the learning environment in a way that enriches students' learning experience and cultivates their self-learning spirit.
Teachers make good use of students' self-assessment and mutual assessment to encourage students to reflect on what they have learned from multiple perspectives. They also encourage students to express their views and demonstrate what they have learned, and provide timely feedback by praising students' strengths and suggesting areas for improvement, so as to strengthen students' learning performance and guide them to self-improvement. Teachers will also guide students to summarize what they have learned, and arrange extended learning opportunities according to students' learning progress, so as to help students consolidate, apply and deepen what they have learned in class, stimulate their thinking, and motivate them to continue to strive for improvement and develop their potentials.
Teacher professional training and development:
Teacher training days are scheduled three times a year, with themes to meet the needs of the school's administrative development in that school year. We also recommend courses for school administrators, guidance counselors and other teachers to participate in or administer, counsel or teach according to the development needs of the school. We also create space for teachers. On the other hand, teachers are encouraged to participate in seminars, symposiums or workshops to learn the latest teaching methods.
