Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 2.1 Enhancing the Effectiveness of Learning and Teaching 2.1.1 Achievements Five foci set in the School Development Plan (2009 – 2012), 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 consistently followed and satisfactorily implemented. On enhancing teachers‟ professional development, basically teachers on the average had met the requirements to attend at least two seminars or workshops for professional development, especially on themes relating to learning and teaching; the average CPD hours of teachers had stayed at quite a satisfactorily high level of more than 37 hours in the last academic year; professional sharing had been quite frequent and effective through the formal and informal meetings of teachers, and especially through the resource banks or corners set up in the school intranet by different subjects for different levels and topics, with varieties which included teaching files, teaching aids, learning materials, question banks and examination papers, etc; teachers had also been using different kinds of lesson observation, including peer lesson observation and lesson observation for collaborative teaching, to foster professional sharing; many corresponding staff professional development programmes, including one on „cross-curricular learning‟ and the other one on „cooperative learning‟, had also been successfully held to cater for the growth of teachers‟ professionalism.
