On behalf of the CELT, Dr. Lai Kwok Chan, Honorary Advisor of CELT and Adjunct Associate Professor of C&I, made a presentation at the 12th Changjiang Delta Symposium on Small Class Education in Yangpu District, Shanghai. The event was attended by education officials and practitioners from Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Dalian and other places in China. The event was remarkable as it commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Yangpu District pioneering the implementation of small class teaching in Shanghai. It also marks 15 years of fruitful collaboration between the University and the District in academic exchange and teacher development in small class teaching. In his presentation, Dr. Lai reviewed how the University has served as a bridge between researchers in the East and the West, which resulted in recent publications on class size and small class teaching. He also shared experiences of Hong Kong schools implementing positive education through class building in small class environments.
