The XIEHE Education Group continues to explore and provide opportunities for the provision of professional development for teachers and staff. Three examples of our commitment to professional development are the “Stars Project”, “Cross-Campus Professional Development Days” and “Early Childhood Education development.
协和教育坚持中西融合的发展理论，坚持集团化办学的发展战略，坚持科研先导的发展策略，坚持中、小、幼十五年贯通的发展模式。集团总部由综合管理部门、专业职能部门和行政支持部门组成。综合管理部门包括学前教育管理部和学校管理部。专业职能部门包括财务部、人事部、研究部、质量管理部、市场部、信息技术部和后勤服务部等。行政支持部门包括党总支办公室和行政办公室。
Teachers are the Xiehe Education Group’s most precious resource, and as such professional development is a major part of our drive towards our sustainable development. One of the many ways that we balance the implementation of Xiehe’s ‘East meets West’ ethos at both our school and classroom levels with the development of our teachers’ interests and intrinsic motivation is through our Cross-Campus Professional Development Days. In addition to providing a channel for teachers from all our campuses to interact and collaborate with each other, these annual professional development events serve to identify unique skills, provide opportunities for teachers to share their knowledge and experience with colleagues, and gather valuable feedback.
Training for our Early Childhood Education (ECE) teams is a vital component of the Xiehe Education Group’s ongoing aim to provide faculty with advanced concepts, professional knowledge, and outstanding management skills, but also to continually improve the quality of the ECE programme. Our training objectives include the following:
1. Understand the basic concepts, theories and methodologies of management along with Xiehe’s strategy for its future development.
2. Become adept with the basic methods and strategies of kindergarten management and improve teaching practice.
3. Improve the comprehensive quality of the ECE core teams and provide management talent to facilitate a high quality preschool education at Xiehe.
