The Extension of The Second Phase of the Jockey Club Diversity at Schools Project (Learning Support Team)

The 2-yr Extension of the Second Phase of the Jockey Club Diversity at Schools Project provides EdUHK Learning Support team with a prolonged timeframe to work towards achieving extra output/outcomes for the project. The benefits for existing project schools are to develop and deepen the dissemination and sustainability of the school-based Learning Support Model (LSM) through PIE cycle. For example, the additional two years allow the LS team to engage in comprehensive planning to address the identified gaps and challenges for e-IEP facilitation. We will also allocate sufficient time to conduct thorough needs analyses such as customized support checklists, develop tailored strategies, and design effective interventions. Moreover, the LS team will implement long-term strategies that require sustained efforts and continuous improvement such as invest in comprehensive capacity building and training programs. We will hence allocate resources to provide extensive training sessions, workshops, and professional development opportunities in e-IEP for project staff, LSAs, and other stakeholders which ensures that the participating schools are equipped with the proficient knowledge, skills, and expertise to facilitate the e-IEP effectively. The extension also allows for a more robust evaluation process and iterative feedback loops. Conclusively, EdUHK Learning Support team will target at fostering sustainable collaboration and partnerships with schools especially those supervised by School Sponsoring Bodies (SSBs), stakeholders, and other project teams so as to enhance our project impact to wider educational communities.
