Gwangju Office of Education Operates 'Requested Classes' with Gwangju Elementary Lead Teachers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 12th that it will operate 'Requested Classes' together with Gwangju Elementary Lead Teachers from this month until December.

'Requested Classes' are conducted by having a teacher request a lead teacher to demonstrate a lesson on a specific subject or topic, and the lead teacher then teaches the requesting teacher's students (class).

There are currently 23 Gwangju Elementary Lead Teachers, who have been supporting classroom teaching of field teachers for nine years based on their expertise.

On the 7th, Lead Teacher Son Jun-ho of Taebong Elementary School conducted a science requested class on the topic "How far are the planets in the solar system from the sun?" at the request of Teacher Jo Seong-ho of Munheung Elementary School.

On the 12th, Lead Teacher Kim Mi-ran of Ilsin Elementary School conducted a Korean language class on "Learning the final consonants ㅁ and ㅂ" at the request of Teacher Kim Seon-ae of Geon-guk Elementary School. Lead Teacher Kim, along with Lead Teachers Kim Hye-young of Bia Elementary and Lee Seong-gyu of Ildong Elementary, developed the Gwangju Office of Education's Korean language responsibility education guidance material 'Smart Letter Play' to support first-grade homeroom teachers and students in elementary schools.

Teacher Jo Seong-ho of Munheung Elementary School said, "Munheung Elementary is striving to activate professional learning communities with the goal of daily open classes this year," and added, "It was a valuable time to observe Lead Teacher Son Jun-ho of Taebong Elementary's class together and find the meaning of good teaching."

Lead Teacher Son Jun-ho of Taebong Elementary School said, "Sharing the prepared and reflected lesson content with the homeroom teacher made me feel that I also grew a step forward."

Teacher Kim Seon-ae of Geon-guk Elementary School said, "When learning Korean, the final consonants are the most difficult for students, and through the class by Lead Teacher Kim Mi-ran of Ilsin Elementary, the developer of 'Smart Letter Play,' I was able to learn the first lesson directly, which was very helpful."

Kim Su-gang, head of the Elementary Education Division at the Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "Lead teachers have long supported field teachers through open classes, requested classes, consulting, and training," and added, "I hope teachers can share concerns about lessons with lead teachers and gain confidence to stand in the classroom."
