Smart Energy Center collaborated with Orsted Taiwan Limited to launch a brand-new green energy teaching program called "Energy Transformation in Changhua." The lesson plan was developed in accordance with the spirit of the 108 Curriculum of the MOE, which allows upper elementary students to understand the structure of power generation in Taiwan, learn about the structure and principles of the world's most advanced wind turbines, and complete the model assembly to develop a mindset of carbon reduction and sustainable development, as well as core literacy in line with the SDGs.
- In collaboration with the MOE and the Alliance Cultural Foundation, the Center for Teacher Education organized the “Beginning Elementary and Middle School Teacher Orientation and Knowledge Workshop Program," which is expected to help beginner teachers adapt to their teaching careers and implement the local educational guidance function of the university as an institution for teacher education by systematically planning the Initial Teacher Orientation and Knowledge Workshop Program. Additionally, the program integrates with major flipped classroom teaching communities to plan specific practices in three areas: "Introductory workshop for beginning teachers on vocation and teaching practices," "Cross-school co-curricular counseling and community bonding," and "Dialogue and response on teachers that return to their hometown. It hopes to provide a sound and powerful support system during the introductory stage of being a beginner teacher, not only to encourage teachers' enthusiasm for teaching and develop their commitment to education but also to help them understand the current education trends and Taiwan’s education policies, quickly integrate into the school education environment, develop professional attitudes and capabilities, and ensure the quality of student learning.
