Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 2.1 Enhancing the Effectiveness of Learning and Teaching 2.1.1 Achievements Five foci, namely enhancing teachers’ professional development, arousing students’ learning motivation, promoting cross-curricular teaching and learning, fostering students’ reading habits, and catering for learner differences were planned and satisfactorily implemented. On enhancing teachers’ professional development, basically each teacher had more than twice attended seminars or workshops for professional development, especially on themes relating to learning and teaching; the average CPD hours for teachers had remained quite consistently at a relatively high level of more than 43 hours in the structured mode in these three years; professional sharing had been the most effective through the setting up of resource banks or corners in the school intranet, or even in the resource rooms for some subject panels, by different subjects for different levels and topics, with contents like teaching files, teaching aids, learning materials, question banks and examination papers, etc; many corresponding staff professional development programmes had also been successfully held, like joint seminars with the other True Light schools about ‘assessment for learning’ under the NSS Curriculum, a sharing session on ‘invitational education and learning motivation’, and a talk on ‘understanding students with special educational needs in True Light’.
