In January 2026, CCE organized four professional courses related to teaching staff for the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ). The four courses attracted 120 teaching staff from primary and secondary schools, as well as kindergartens in Macao. These courses aimed to enhance teaching skills of the teaching staff and support their career development.
The courses covered themes of early childhood education, leadership and values education, which met the professional development needs of teaching staff in different disciplines. The course topics and contents were as follows:
“Mindfulness with Children: Focusing and Observing Children’ Heart and Growth” was 6 hours. Through theoretical explanations and personal experiences, participants learned methods and skills to conduct mindful activities in classrooms, so as to cultivate children’s concentration and improve their learning efficiency.
“Enhanced Leadership Development Workshop for Secondary School Teachers” was 9 hours. Participants were taught effective leadership strategies through case studies to establish a high-quality learning environment in schools and good collaboration with parents. The physical and mental health development of secondary school students was well promoted and their learning participation was enhanced.
“Gratitude Matters and Grateful Leadership: A Workshop for Macau Primary and Secondary School Teachers” was also 9 hours and involved group discussions. Participants gained insights into the importance of gratitude values in educational leadership and their positive impact on personal well-being and interpersonal relationships.
“Enlightening Values Education from Current News” was 12 hours and involved interactive games. Participants were taught how to integrate current affairs into their teaching and conduct value education in the classroom to foster correct values among primary and secondary school students.
The four professional courses were successfully completed and received positive feedback from the participants.
CCE continues to offer more professional training courses for DSEDJ to promote the professional development of teaching staff and enhance the quality of education. CCE hopes to provide a better educational environment for the next generation in Macao to cultivate them into competitive talents for the future.
