To coordinate subject teaching work for the new semester and clarify the core direction and goals of teaching research, MIC successfully held a subject leader meeting themed "Improving Quality and Efficiency, Empowering through Innovation" on August 7, 2025. Subject leaders from all disciplines gathered to conduct in-depth discussions on key topics such as teaching innovation, curriculum development, and team collaboration, mapping out a clear action plan for the new semester’s teaching and research work.
The meeting focused on in-depth exchanges around three core areas, identifying key pathways to enhance teaching quality in the new semester:
• Teaching Quality Improvement Strategies: Targeting the key and difficult points of subject teaching across grades, the meeting clarified the implementation methods of differentiated teaching and personalized tutoring. It standardized the teaching assessment and evaluation process, emphasizing standardized exam proposition, marking moderation, and the establishment of student data files, with a focus on advancing the analysis of AS and IGCSE exam results. Meanwhile, it arranged teaching plans for the new students’ "two-week trial period" and additional tutoring programs for students retaking exams. Classrooms are required to integrate the six core teaching principles: "challenge, explanation, modeling, practice, questioning, and feedback," and innovative forms such as experimental practice and project-based learning are encouraged to enhance classroom engagement.
• Curriculum Resource Integration and Innovation: Focusing on the integration of international curricula and school-based curricula, the meeting shared experiences in developing and sharing high-quality teaching resources. It planned discipline-specific activities such as the Chemistry CCO Competition and Business Competition, clarified the responsibilities of competition instructors, and required timely preparation of textbooks and teaching materials to ensure the smooth progress of teaching.
• Teaching Research Team Development Plan: The meeting arranged basic work including collective lesson preparation, research project development, and teacher training, while emphasizing interdisciplinary teaching research cooperation and a system of fixed weekly teaching research meetings. It was clarified that teaching research meetings should focus on lesson structure design, implement differentiated management of teachers’ capabilities, and integrate meeting times into the school’s unified schedule. The principal and teaching management team will conduct classroom observations in a "proactive, positive, and supportive" manner, focusing on student behavior management and teaching support.
After thorough discussions, the meeting reached several consensuses and clarified key priorities for subsequent work:
• All subject groups must formulate and file teaching plans and teaching research activity programs, simultaneously sort out and publish subject glossaries, curriculum outlines, and teaching schedules; identify instructors for discipline competitions and fix teaching research meeting times, and report them accordingly.
• Launch the construction of a "Subject Resource Sharing Platform," with each group leader taking the lead in organizing high-quality resources such as lesson plans, courseware, and exercises to achieve resource sharing across grades and disciplines.
• Establish a monthly feedback mechanism for subject teaching quality to dynamically adjust teaching strategies; strengthen classroom management, and create a positive and interactive learning environment through pre-class greetings and clear seating arrangements.
Uniting efforts to start a new journey, forging ahead to write a brilliant chapter. This subject leader meeting has laid a solid foundation and pointed out the direction for the new semester’s teaching and research work. In the future, all subject groups of MIC will continue to deepen teaching research, refine teaching practices, push teaching quality and discipline development to a new level, and provide solid support for students’ growth and success!
