[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 15th that from the 10th of this month to the 29th of next month, it will conduct a "Class Sharing Program with Low-Experience Teachers and Senior Teachers" targeting kindergarten teachers in Jeonnam province.

This class sharing program aims to strengthen the teaching capabilities of low-experience teachers with less than three years of experience and improve classroom instruction. Since 2018, senior kindergarten teachers who have demonstrated high-level teaching expertise both inside and outside the province have participated and provided guidance.

Starting with Haerum Kindergarten on the 10th, the class sharing sessions will continue until October. With active cooperation from the field, including venue provision and quarantine measures, it has become a place for everyone to learn and grow together.

In the first session of the class sharing training, senior teachers demonstrate child- and play-centered lessons, with low-experience teachers participating from the perspective of children. In the second session, after practicing the learned methods in their classrooms, the low-experience teachers reconstruct the lessons themselves.

The Office of Education has consistently conducted class sharing to apply the revised curriculum and the 2020 academic year curriculum in the field, despite some limitations. However, the program was canceled in the first semester due to the spread of COVID-19.

Jung Jong-hyuk, Director of the Elementary and Kindergarten Education Division, stated, “We will strive to enhance teachers’ professionalism together with the Jeollanam-do Early Childhood Education Promotion Institute by strengthening the capabilities of kindergarten teachers throughout their career lifecycle, including new teacher job training, class sharing for low-experience teachers, field support for mid-career teachers, and retraining for high-experience teachers.”
