Key Success Ingredient – New Program for Improving Teacher Competency
Yang Feihuan
Presented
by Ms. Feihuan Yang, Academic Specialist at YingHua Language School (YHLS), located in Central Jersey,
offering two sets of curriculum on Sundays: one for Chinese (Mandarin)-speaking
students, and the other for non-Chinese (Mandarin)-speaking students.
Ms.
Yang will provide an overview of YHLS Professional Development plan, including
a new competency initiative. Her presentation will focus on this latest
weekly teacher observation program and monthly professional development
meetings where each teacher is given the opportunity to observe other classes
to compare their teaching styles or techniques and devise ways to improve their
own teaching. She will also share success stories of how this program has
significantly improved teacher competency. With ever-changing workforce,
implementing this unique program ensures best teachers are always available to
meet students’ long-term learning objectives, especially critical at weekend
schools.
