Upcoming Seminars and Workshops

You are cordially invited to join the workshop “SCL Teaching Lab – Classroom Design for Student-Centered Learning”, co-organised by the Common Core Curriculum Office (CCCO) and the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Section, Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL).

Student-centered learning is reshaping education by placing students at the core of the learning experience. By empowering students to construct their own understanding, think critically, and collaborate with peers, this approach transforms teachers into guides who support the learning of students and facilitate their growth.

 

In this workshop, Dr Lam Bick Har, an experienced practitioner in implementing student-centered approaches, will share practical strategies and fresh perspectives on designing engaging classrooms, facilitating active learning, and implementing effective assessment methods. Whether you’re looking to refine your teaching practice or explore new ideas, this workshop offers actionable insights to help you create dynamic, student-centered learning environments.
