The Professional Partnership
Networker
|
|
|
In this issue of the Professional Partnership Networker, we wish to highlight resources that can enhance your professional learning and that could also be used to stimulate conversations in professional teams at school.
First, EPL is collaborating with the Hong Kong Association of Extramural Education Professionals to launch its first online forum on 15 April. See details below.
Second, our department recently completed a Webinar for Hong Kong schools related to leading teams in uncertain times. All the talks are about 10 - 15 minutes in length and are available on our website.
Third, our colleague, Trevor Lee, provides a research brief and impact video on his completed project: Online Learning in Primary Schools during COVID-19. All of our research briefs are available as short 5-minute reads and 3-minute videos.
Finally, we are accepting candidates for three master level degrees designed for serving educators (IELC, LILO, LELA), two of which, are recognised by the International Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge Assessments International. Scholarships are available.
We hope that these will support your professional learning and that of your team.

Teacher professionalism—the capacity to make informed educational judgements about what is in the best interests of students and their communities—is influenced by ever-evolving and interactive institutional, social and political contexts. Teachers are expected to meet diverse and sometimes competing local needs and must also be responsive to global developments and concerns. This project aims to enhance the impact of teaching and research on teacher education both locally and globally.
