It has finished preparations for a short course for the first-term teaching of the 2018-2019 school year and started short course for teachers and kindergarteners in the district. During the course, we are focusing on further improving qualifications of all teachers in the district through the class on teaching materials according to the grades of primary school and the class on improvement of qualifications and training for kindergarteners and junior and senior middle school teachers.”

Especially, it induces the instructors in charge of classes on teaching materials of the 4th and 5th grades of primary school to make full preparations for lectures on the contents of new teaching materials and actively pushes ahead with the work to select exemplary lecturers and let them give lectures.
On the basis of the visual and teaching aids and teaching plans made by instructors and lecturers according to the contents of the short course, the institute is further perfecting them through trial lessons, analysis of merits and demerits and collective discussion.

After full preparations, the short course gets brisker amid the heated competition between lecturers to make preparations for new school year teaching, further improve their practical qualifications and grasp new teaching methods.
