1. To promote professional exchange and sharing among educators in the sector, the School-based Support (Kindergarten) Section publishes the e-periodical “攜手”.  This e-periodical compiles the practical experience and reflections of educators through multimedia content and disseminates practicable teaching resources, thus establishing an innovative and convenient professional exchange platform for the sector, which broadens teachers’ perspectives and enhances their professional capacity.

   
   

   The latest publication of the seventh issue of “攜手”, themed “Early Childhood Mathematics”, shares effective teaching strategies.  It features a thematic article written by Dr. CHEUNG Sum-kwing, Sam, Associate Professor of the Department of Early Childhood Education and Associate Dean (Quality Assurance and Enhancement) of the Faculty of Education and Human Development at The Education University of Hong Kong, who explores in depth how to learn mathematics through play.  The e-periodical compiles the practical experiences from Mainland expert teachers and various schools, illustrating how curriculum leaders lead teaching teams to guide children to recognise the meaning of early childhood mathematics in real-life contexts, learn to express their ideas using appropriate mathematical language, and apply their learning to solve everyday problems.

2. To enhance field practitioners’ insight into our school-based support services for kindergartens and to promote the professional development of teaching teams, we conducted the “Working Meeting cum Professional Sharing Session” on 18 September (Friday).  The event drew an enthusiastic response from the sector.

   
   

   The event featured a rich and diverse programme.  It began with an overview of the key focuses of the support services for the current school year, presented by Ms. HO Mei-fong, Christy, Chief Curriculum Development Officer (School-based Support (Kindergarten)).  In the course of her presentation, Principal KWAN Pui-yan of T.W.G.Hs. Ko Teck Kin Memorial Kindergarten and Principal LUI Yuen-yuen of Holy Trinity Centre Kindergarten were invited to share their valuable experiences and positive results gained from participating in the support services last year.  In addition, we were most honoured to have Dr. Amelia N.Y. LEE, Associate Dean of the School of Continuing Education and Acting Director of the College of International Education of Hong Kong Baptist University, to deliver a keynote speech on “Curriculum Leadership: Reflections on the Interface between Kindergarten and Primary Education”, in which she explored the critical factors to facilitate a smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school.  During the breakout sessions, participants sought to gain a deep understanding of the details of various support services and took the opportunity to exchange views and share experiences in school-based curriculum development.
