Beyond the workshop - Why we teach?
A teaching seminar often resembles a routine gathering where educators refine their craft. Yet, the session on "classroom engagement," led by Academic Director Lin Chuman at Shanghai Hongrun Boyuan School, aimed for something deeper than technique.
"Why do some classes always have students quietly taking notes while others are full of interaction and thinking?" With this question in mind, Dean Lin Chuman initiated a teaching seminar with the theme of "Creating a Classroom Environment for Active Student Participation". This event focused on enhancing classroom engagement, guiding teachers to redefine "active participation" through brainstorming, case diagnosis, strategy sharing and practical reflection, and exploring new paths for science classrooms where students are truly "moving, thinking and speaking".
