Kings Christian College; AEF..etc. • Information technology inclusionElectronic whiteboard with interaction teaching... • Stolen generations from 1869~1969from Europeanism to Multi culturalism… • Educate to serve the society and mankindto meet global and local challenges…

  4. The challenges facing Taiwan education • The nature and quality of K-12 education… • The declining birth rate or even drain out… • The autonomy & accountability of K-12 education… • The declining government support… • The fallen international competitiveness including physical infrastructure and quality of manpower mobility…

  5. Views from the past 10 years:Strengths of education in Taiwan • Good solid foundations in elementary and high school(characteristics, personality, moral..) • Fair and equal opportunity for every kid of diverse background (Equality + Justice) • Well prepared in basic 3R+S skills (to meet parent needs) • Stable in educational surroundings (teacher involvements; government support; administrative efficiency; or even unions)

  6. Views from the past 10 years:Weaknesses of education in Taiwan • Fixed and uniform curriculum (low diversity) • Practice and drills of reflexive learning (or test) skills • Inability to express verbally and in writing • Lack of creativity training • Lack of aggressiveness • Less emphasis on the synthesizing ability • Poor in international communication (e.g. English) skills

  7. Trends toward the 2020: manpower competition and education changes • Is qualification equal to manpower quality; or is able to survive in the changeable future workforce… • How to sustain our student’s motivation for longer… • How to enrich student’s ability to take challenge… • Future trends: Mobility; Creativity; Info-tech ability; Self-determination ability…

  8. Our efforts and unfinished jobs in education reforms • School-based management(Accountability; Budgeting; Curriculum; Decision-making; Evaluation;) • From Teacher professional development to Professional Learning Community; mentor new teachers • Rationalize the number of courses loading(ip. Tainan City..) • Encourage students to take challenges(globa–local issues..) • Respect the cultural diversification(disadvantage groups with generosity; new Taiwanese generation; integrations with other opinions..)

  9. As being the school leader, what issues you need to put into practice? • Strategies: • Learning to know • Learning to be • Learning to do • Learning to live together • Learning to Change………
