1. Peer Observation for Professional Development:
Sharon Lutheran School

Sharon Lutheran School employed peer observation to enhance teachers' ability to
teach reading skills to their Primary 5 students. Through peer observation, teachers
had the opportunity to undergo continual professional development to improve their
teaching and to facilitate their students' learning.

At the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year, a school-based reading workshop was
conducted by invited professionals. All English teachers gained some ideas as how to
run reading workshops for their students to develop reading skills.

2. Co-operative Learning:
Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Yow Kam Yuen College

As part of the 2007 Sharing and Collaborative Learning Programme (SCLP), the
WrITE Project held a workshop on How to facilitate student motivation:
co-operative structures in materials design on 3 February 2007. In the workshop,
participating teachers learnt various co-operative learning structures and responded
positively. After that, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Yow Kam Yuen College
(TWGHYKYC) showed their interest in trying out the strategies presented at their
school.

Before implementing co-operative learning, the English teachers from TWGHYKYC
sought professional advice from the WrITE Project in a meeting held on 13 February
2007. After discussion, it was decided that one language skill - writing - would be the
focus in the trial lessons.
