NTE REO Seminar _ EDB GE Section Experience sharings in Gifted Education by Sha Tin Methodist College Speaker : Ms. Lo Wing Shan & Mr. Lau Hor Keung Date : 31st March, 2008 Time : 2:30-5:30 Venue : Education Bureau Kowloon Tong Education Service Centre

為何 GE ？ 我校已夠多計劃，為何還要加上 GE ？ 我校「資優生」不多， GE 與我校關係不大。 GE ，不是由 Ed. Psy. 負責的嗎？ 我校忙於找尋課改的入手點，無暇攪 GE 。 GE 跟我校傳統和發展難扯上關係。 我懷疑我校能投放多少資源於 GE 上。 GE ？我校沒有這門訓練的老師。 GE 以全體學生為對象？那有這麼多老師人手？

GE ：教育新角度 GE 是... 是一個看教育的新角度 是一個把教育優化的途徑 是一個讓教師重新檢視教育理念的機會 是一個讓人人都愉快學習的教育過程 是一個也不放棄的教育實踐
