IEA arranged a teacher workshop for Yan Chai Hospital Wong Wha San Secondary School on the Professional Development Day.
Our veteran registered educational psychologist partner, Mr Fritz Pang, delivered the workshop on the topic “ Applying Positive Psychology to Class Management” to all the teachers at the school. Through explanation and interactive activities, everyone had gained the insights that positive education in the school setting engages and encourages students to learn more and develop further.
Hong Kong’s fifth wave of COVID-19 epidemic was very severe, with the number of confirmed cases hitting record high since the middle of February 2022.
Hoping to minimize most of the activities in our society to reduce the chance of infection, the Chief Executive made a special school announcement in late February. Students from primary and secondary schools took the summary holidays (Special Vacation) in March/April and the school term ended by mid-August.
To enrich the students’ learning and experiences, IEA had further collaborated with TAU for another online programme on Biotechnology for students aged 12 to 15 during the Special Vacation.
Students who complete the course will receive a certificate from TAU.
