Hwaseong City Hosts Model School Workshop for Creative Intelligence Education

The Hwaseong Creative Intelligence Education Support Center held a workshop on December 2nd for 96 department heads from 63 model schools participating in the 2014 Hwaseong Creative Intelligence Education program with the aim of 'restructuring the creative intelligence education curriculum.'

With the city expanding the operation of creative intelligence education model schools to 63 schools next year, the workshop was scheduled to coincide with the school curriculum evaluation and planning period for 2014. The city conducted training for teachers in charge so that the Hwaseong Creative Intelligence Education City project program could be reflected and restructured into each school's curriculum, and was designed to ensure that creative intelligence education could be continuously practiced in school settings.

The workshop was conducted using the textbook 'Our School's Creative Intelligence Education Curriculum Built Together,' developed by the Hwaseong Creative Intelligence Education Support Center by school level (elementary, middle, and high school). A total of 17 teams across 2 elementary divisions and 1 middle school division proceeded through Action Learning method, setting up hypothetical schools and restructuring their creative intelligence education curriculum.

The city structured the curriculum restructuring process as 'establishing school philosophy, restructuring school and grade curriculum (incorporating the Hwaseong Creative Intelligence Education City project), and restructuring class (subject) curriculum.' Through a process of comparative review of each school's curriculum, the city also conducted in-house consulting for curriculum restructuring that includes creative intelligence education curriculum. The city expects this will be of great benefit to schools in promoting the creative intelligence education project in school settings.
