To be proposed.....By Yuen Yuen Institute, By Apple.......

Project Goals: 

 Support teachers and their students in reaching further toward their highest academic and social potential with a focus on English, Writing / Critical & Creative Thinking, and Moral Character and Social-Emotional Learning.

Develop mutually useful collaboration and professional learning communities, including faculty and professional development organizations, which would continue going forward.  Strengthen local professional development capacity.

Project Approaches:

The project will operate using Invitational Education as the umbrella,  Arts Integration and Arts-Based Strategies, Character Education / Moral Development, & Social-Emotional Learning Strategies as ends in themselves and as tools to improve Academic and Social Development.

 

 

Implementation Plan: 

Proceed with volunteer teachers at YYI CLCT and at the US 'sister' site (Aptakisic School System - near Chicago IL), during the remainder of 2013-2014 and the beginning of 2014-2015.

 

Spread to other volunteers, based on results, at YYI CLCT, and other Hong Kong and Mainland China Schools during 2014-2015, and implement a more formal Quasi-Experimental Research Design, involving valid comparison and experimental groups.

Consider further spread after 2014-15, if the data warrant expansion.
