VietnameseEarly Years / Early Childhood Education Teachers Required for Hong Kong to start in August 2020
Our partner has been a leader in early childhood education in Hong Kong since its establishment in 1965. Through its effective one-teacher-one-language co-teaching approach, native-speaking teachers work as a team to provide a total immersion language environment. The organization strives to keep its curriculum and teaching approach in line with educational research, as well as the changing needs of the community. It works with Columbia University in implementing the TCRWP, which places a focus on enhancing the skills and outcomes of students in early literacy and is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. Schools offer the IB PYP
Additionally our partners have pioneered a research initiative with Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) to understand how maker-centred learning can provide a framework in early childhood education to develop skills and knowledge within and beyond the STEAM disciplines. Maker-centred learning aims to encourage, nurture, and inspire young children’s creativity and empathy, and in the process, help them build skills such as observation, problem-solving, and collaboration.
This framework allows their students to further develop their critical and creative thinking skills as part of their inquiry-based learning, encouraging them to notice the world around them, and take steps to make it a better world for everyone.
An English class teacher typically shares a class with one or two Chinese teachers depending on the class size. The nursery curriculum is developed in alignment with the IB curriculum and the local culture and needs of our students so lesson must reflect this. Most children attend half-day classes, either in the morning or in the afternoon, although full-day classes are also available at a few of their campuses. Their students usually hail from supportive potential socioeconomic households. Many are talented quality achievers whose parental expectations are high.
