NET Scheme News 2024 Summer issue 46

Tsz Wan Shan Catholic Primary School Precious Blood Primary School (Happy Valley) In the ever-evolving world of education, the importance of continuous professional development and the sharing of innovative teaching practices cannot be overstated. This year, the NET Section's dedication to enhancing learning and teaching has been exemplified through the establishment of various modes of Learning Hubs (LH) in the form of Communities of Practice (CoP) for educators. Through the CoP initiative, educators are given a platform to come together, share their experiences, and explore innovative solutions to the evolving needs of learners. These collaborative spaces foster a culture of continuous learning, where teachers can learn from their peers' successes and missteps, and adapt their methods accordingly. By nurturing a collaborative and innovative spirit among teachers, we would like to introduce new ways to foster learning and teaching. The learning community for the 2023/24 school year focused on Literacy Development and e-Learning. Two CoP modes — a seminar for Literacy in March 2024 and an open lesson for e-Learning in May 2024 —were being trialled with the support from five schools. Our gratitude is extended to the following five schools for their support and contributions to the LH activities. In 2024/25, schools will be offered more opportunities to share best practices, exchange ideas, and get feedback, thereby cultivating collaboration to enhance teaching quality and support teachers’ professional development.
