NCUE is one of the three secondary teacher training schools in Taiwan. It has assisted the professional development of teachers in schools in various townships over the long term and has actively promoted the use of resources outside the school. In addition to the growth workshops in various local schools or community organizations organized by our faculty, we also encourage students to independently plan various types of educational and learning activities and organize off-campus service teams. They can go to local schools and rural primary and secondary schools to organize science education experimental camps or off-campus service activities and provide NCUE’s learning resources to local primary and secondary schools and organizations.

1. Regular events

1.1 Baisha Summer School: Since 2011, NCUE has held the Baisha Summer School every summer during the summer vacation. Our faculty and students independently formed the Baisha Summer School Affairs and Teaching Team, and held various positions such as principal, administrative supervisor, teacher, and instructor of each class. They led primary and secondary students to adapt to campus life and experience the most creative and enthusiastic bridging courses. From 26 to 29 July 2020, a total of 79 faculty and students held summer camps in Zhangtai Junior High School, Municipal Xinyiguominzhong Elementary School, and Xizhou Junior High School in Changhua County. They helped first-year junior high school students experience the joy of learning and welcome junior high school life.

1.2 Teachers and students practicing Albert Schweitzer’s spirit education service plan: Since 2006, we have continued to promote the ‘University teachers and students practicing Albert Schweitzer’s spirit education service plan’, encouraging teachers and students to practice the spirit of caring for the disadvantaged and providing professional service. Every year, we select teachers and students as volunteers to visit junior high school in Changhua County to provide tutoring, development, and learning activities for disadvantaged or students in remote areas. From 20 July to 7 August 2020, a total of 56 volunteers went to Municipal Xianxiguomin Junior High School and Fung Yung Junior High School to provide services for junior high school students. In addition to pursuing learning effectiveness, they pay attention to enhancing students’ learning motivation and interest. (https://www.ncue.edu.tw/p/406-1000-3187,r93.php?Lang=zh-tw)

2. Unscheduled events

2.1 Student clubs serving outside the school: NCUE encourages student clubs to plan various types of educational service and learning activities and actively go to junior high and elementary schools in the central region to lead club activities or enter communities and aboriginal tribes for community services. This initiative enables students to learn by hands-on experience and practice the spirit of education. In 2020, a total of 14 clubs or departments went to primary and junior high schools or entered aboriginal tribes for camp, club education, and service activities.

2.2 NCUE hopes to implement the sustainable promotion of USR and gradually unite the community, school, and students. Therefore, we encourage faculty and students to participate in community innovation and become local sustainable development cooperators. Through discussions, forums, lectures, curatorial exhibitions, workshops, camps, and other means, we actively extend the educational resources in the school to the junior high and primary schools and communities in Changhua County and the central region. At least 67 educational outreach activities were held in 2020, with themes including environmental education, food and agriculture education, green energy, renewable energy, community industry, and student education camps.
