Dean Liu Haoyuan and Director Lin Shuyang were invited to carry out a series of lectures for this event involving 4 topics, participated in 6 theme training activities, and made 10 reports
Management special theme training.
Curriculum Leadership in the Context of "Double New" - General Knowledge, General Theory, and General Model of Literacy Development
This special lecture aims to help education managers quickly find the right direction in the context of change, clarify the core concepts of "literacy development curriculum and teaching", gain insight into the logic of change, and use simplification to implement new curriculum standards and strive for new benchmarks.
Mental health training.
Awakening the Power of the Mind - Resolving the Crisis of Growth with the Development of the Mind
The purpose of this seminar is to help class teachers and psychology teachers understand the laws of students' mental development from a deeper level, gain insight into the mental structure, and provide students with appropriate, appropriate and timely growth support strategies (heart ruler adjustment strategies and thinking development strategies), so as to help students' "hearts" climb to higher places and "wisdom" to explore deeply.
Special theme training for subject teaching.
Challenges: New Teachers: The Transformation and Upgrading of Discipline Teaching Paradigms in the New Education Scenario
This special lecture aims to help subject teachers transform from "knowledge-based" teaching to "literacy-based" teaching, and provides theoretical and model support, and puts forward the basic paradigm of literacy development teaching of "consolidating the two ends and letting go of the middle". Two major breakthroughs and focus points of teachers' future career development are clarified: the creation of front-end "challenging tasks" and the implementation of back-end "growth feedback".

Thinking Visualization - Lever Solution for Leveraging Literacy Developmental Teaching".
This special lecture aims to help subject teachers master the thinking visualization tools, leverage the power of the tools to leverage the "literacy development curriculum and teaching", and guide students to use thinking visualization tools (subject mind map, subject fishbone diagram, flow chart, pyramid diagram, double bubble diagram, double clue diagram, tree hierarchy diagram, etc.) to construct a three-dimensional knowledge system (knowledge structure based on the overall control of big concepts) and carry out sufficient thinking exercises based on structured thinking, so as to promote the real occurrence of deep learning Xi.
These four keynote reports cover many fields such as sociology, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, Xi theory, curriculum theory, etc., combined with specific discipline cases, to achieve the integration of concept and practice, and provide a subversive thinking feast for the trainees, many new views, new ideas, new methods, and new tools have refreshed the trainees' cognition of education and teaching.
The report also involves a large number of teaching and learning Xi models, such as "the general model of literacy development teaching - consolidating the two ends and letting go of the middle", "the five-dimensional integration model of literacy", "the mental development model", "the knowledge construction model", "the structured thinking model" and the problem solving models of various disciplines. From macro, meso, to micro, use modeling to find a "simplified way" for the practice of "literacy development teaching".
In order to let the students experience the achievability of the keynote training of Dean Liu Haoyuan and Director Lin Shuyang, the organizer specially arranged for the students to go to Xi'an Jingkai No. 2 School, a pioneer practice school that systematically introduces "mental development models" and thinking visualization tools, to make the literacy development course "visible, audible and felt".
After observing the "Mind Classroom - Literacy-oriented New Discovery Teaching", the participating teachers expressed their admiration, not only for the scientific teaching design of the mind teacher, but also for the excellent performance of the mind students - the ability of true autonomy, true cooperation, and true in-depth learning and Xi with the help of thinking visualization tools.

Xi for students to "Unit Appreciation Essay".
Dean Liu Haoyuan, as the core expert invited by this event, summarized the six main themes of this series of activities for the participating educators:
Keyword 1: focus
Lead students to focus on literacy development in theoretical research and teaching practice.
Keyword 2: window period
Help students grasp the best window period (2023-2027) for the selection of new curriculum standards and practice models
Keyword 3: systematization
Help students integrate new concepts such as large units, big concepts, big tasks, in-depth learning Xi, project chemistry Xi, cross-study science Xi, and teaching evaluation consistency to generate systematic understanding.
Keyword 4: simplified
It helps students to clarify the "simplification" of the complex system of "literacy development", and provides a general paradigm model of literacy development curriculum and teaching that "consolidates the two ends and lets go of the middle".
Keyword 5: leveraged solution
Help students master the necessary tools (thinking visualization) for leveraging literacy developmental courses and teaching
Keyword 6: Experimental field
Organize a visit to the practice school.
Promote the integration of theory and practice, make the learned theories and methods sensible, knowable and operable, and produce "embodied" learning Xi experience in the scene.
