A self-checking workflow of OLE time arrangement

• Time as reference
• First, counting only those arranged for all
  best fit specific OLE expected outcomes
• - Minimum Threshold Approach

Student Learning Profile (SLP) For Senior
Secondary
A key to future success Students telling their
own stories of learning
11
What is SLP?
It provides a fuller picture about my
competencies and specialties.
It is a summary presentation of what I have
participated and achieved in terms of whole
person development during my senior secondary
years.
12

• Under the NSS education, students should be
  encouraged to build up a profile to record and
  reflect on their learning experiences and
  achievements.

13
Implementation design
Building on existing Practice
School-based design and process

• It would be school-based and the content may
  include brief information about
• Academic performance in school
• Other Learning Experiences
• Awards / achievements gained outside schools
• Students self-account (e.g. impressive
  learning experiences, career goal setting etc.)

Basic Concise information

Will SLP be considered in university admission?

• Universities will consider taking account in
  their selection a broader range of information
  about student achievements in different areas and
  provide students the opportunity to demonstrate
  that they possess the range of competencies and
  personal qualities that they will need to benefit
  from undergraduate education. (HUCOM, 2006)
• We will continue to give broad support to the
  implementation of OLE and are ready to recognise
  SLPs as documents of good reference value.
  Practical arrangements will also be made to
  facilitate the use of the SLP as a reference
  document in the admission process from 2012.
  (HUCOM, 2008)

Students telling their own stories of
learning A multiple case study on the
implementation of Student Learning Profile
Your school needs a starting strategy - building
on existing practices and strengths
17
Four Starting Strategies adopted by Seed Schools
in the case study
Educational value high sustainability
Student Ownership, but not learning-focused
student led
Self-regulated learning
Student-led, recording-oriented approach
Student-led, reflection-oriented approach



recording


Teacher-driven, recording-oriented approach
Teacher-driven, reflection-oriented approach
reflection




Turning experience into learning, but
insufficient student ownership

Tendency to compliance mentality

Example on OLE programme description Visits to
the elderly home(Which one do you prefer?)

• Students have opportunities to learn how to
  serve as volunteers in elderly homes. Three
  visits have been scheduled over the senior
  secondary years.

Students learn to serve as volunteers in elderly
homes, such as offering variety shows and
conducting activities. Through the experience,
students enhance their communication skills and
develop sense of empathy for the elderly.

An example on OLE Programme Description
Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme
The Scheme is initiated by Leisure and Cultural Services Department. School helps train up students to provide voluntary service to promote arts and culture. This broadens students horizon and awareness of the need to raise the quality of humanities. In the process, students enhance their leadership, communication skills and creativity.
40
An example on Students Self-account
I enjoy very much to get along with people Among the activities I joined previously, the most impressive one was the Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme. It provided a chance for me to broaden my horizon and realize the importance of collaboration with people of different cultures to make a better world in future. This has encouraged me to know more about people and to cater for their needs. Therefore, I have set a career goal to engage in marketing research and service business.
