Let's play to be resilient
The proposed project aims at empowering early childhood educators (ECEs) with skills to develop a curriculum that not only cultivates resilience skills in kindergarteners, but also addresses the six learning areas, ultimately equipping these children with skills to face developmental challenges. The objectives of this project are: (a) to help ECEs understand resilience skills and the importance of play in nurturing related competences; (b) to illustrate how the resilience curriculum can be integrated into the KG curriculum; (c) to provide professional support to ECEs in designing their own curriculum; (d) to facilitate knowledge exchange for professional development through sharing sessions and online discussions; (e) to encourage the establishment of a professional community through the identification of “seed” schools to disseminate knowledge and share experiences with partner schools when program ends. It is expected that 5-10 kindergartens (approximately 100 ECEs and 1,000 K1-K13 children) will participate and benefit from the program.
