On September 8th and 9th which was the fifth and the sixth school days of the new semester, ASJ welcomed the parents of the primary and secondary school. They met the teachers for the first time since the school opening.
The meeting enjoyed a warm and lively atmosphere. Parents, school leaders and teachers actively communicated and discussed the contents of education and teaching, student management and daily life.
孩子是否已经适应了新环境?
学校的基本教学设施情况如何?
孩子的ECA课程如何设置?
如何使不同背景的学生,顺利衔接IB 的MYP课程、HKDSE课程等?
......
Have the children adjusted to the new environment of the school?
Are the teaching facilities of the school working well now?
What is the arrangement of the ECA program?
How to integrate students from different backgrounds into MYP and HKDSE curriculum?
Mr. Cheng King Leung, Chief Principal of ASJ, Audrey Yang, Academic Director, illustrated details of school managementand ECA program. while Jason Zhou, Yanyan Jin, deputy director of middle school department, and Lisa Ding, deputy director of Primary department gave presentations to parents on the topics related to the features, expected outcome and assessment of IB and HKDSE programmes. Each student is different, and these well-managed curriculum in high quality could help to inspire ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘agency’, showing ‘international mindset’.
An online live broadcast was set up for parents who could not attend the meeting. They posted a lot of questions online and the interaction between parents and teachers were great. To sum up, the number of viewers reaches 300 for the two meetings.
Through these two Parent-Teacher meetings, parents and teachers eliminated information asymmetry and had a deeper understanding of their respective roles: parents and school are important partners to make the children become better selves. Both schools and parents should shoulder the sacred responsibility of being great educators and create the harmonious environments for both the campus and the family for the children.
This is the first year of ASJ, we believe that by developing tighter home-school relationship, the parents and the school can form a joint force heart to heart to raise the kids in an all-around way for a successful life.
