Project Introduction

Background

The “Quality Schools in Hong Kong” (QSHK) Project was launched with the support of the D.H. Chen Foundation and Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation in 2016.

With a view to achieving students’ whole-person development, QSHK works hand in hand with schools to strengthen teachers’ capacity for offering a broad, balanced and holistic education for all.

Focus of Support

QSHK provides professional school-based support to schools by adopting a whole-school approach:

· Assist schools with planning and implementing whole-person education as well as developing a system and culture that support sustainable development.

· Strengthen teachers’ professional capacity in curriculum development and teaching.

· Foster interdisciplinary collaboration through interdisciplinary curriculum.

· Engage students in diverse learning experiences to enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizon and insight.

From empathy to action: A reflective process

Through interdisciplinary curriculum design and implementation, QSHK empowers students to develop moral values through practising critical reflection. The learning experience is structurally designed in a way to elicit students’ affective response (e.g. empathy and compassion), and later simulate a cognitive process that leads to a planned action for common good. The reflective process leads students to step from a self-centered orientation to an other-oriented perspective.
