The Summer School for PE Teachers 2007, featuring the theme "Catering Learner Diversity" was initiated by the Education Bureau and organized by the Physical Education (PE) Division, Department of Creative Arts and Physical Education, the Hong Kong Institute of Education. The project focuses on developing the awareness of relevant and innovative practices in PE curriculum and pedagogy, in particular, how learner diversity can be catered in PE in local schools.
Theme and Aims
In recent years, high quality education for all students has been the major focus in the current education reform in Hong Kong . Accordingly, attention has been placed on how school and teachers can be developed to provide quality educational services in response to student diversity (Curriculum Development Council, 2002; Education and Manpower Bureau, 2004). It is the basic belief of members of the project development team that all students can learn in accordance with their multiple intelligence and ever-improving capabilities in all the domains of learning. The learning and participation of all students should be the major concern by all teachers regardless of their educational needs, interest and ability. It is essential and necessary to cultivate all stake holders in education especially PE teachers, concerning the attitude, belief, behaviours and actions for catering learners with diverse ability, needs and interests in PE provisions.
To achieve the above aims, PE teachers have to develop to enable all students to learn and perform to the best of their abilities, needs and interest. They have to be aware, familiarized and acquainted with curricular and pedagogical knowledge, skills and competence concerning means and actions for catering learner diversity in PE. PE teachers have to structure, implement and achieve the aims, content, pedagogies and assessment for catering learner diversity in PE. “The ultimate goal is to stretch the potential of all students whether they are gifted or among the low achievers” (CDC, 2002, p. 7). The aims of the Summer School for PE teachers 2007 are as follows:
a/ To familiarize PE teachers with the latest development in PE, in particular, catering leaner diversity;
b/ To disseminate good practices and share the experiences among PE teachers with particular emphasis on how learner diversity can be catered;
c/ To deepen PE teachers' professional knowledge for promoting learners' learning regardless of their diversity in needs, abilities and interests.
The programmes include:
1. Conference
2. Experience Sharing Seminars
3. Workshops
「體育教師暑期學校2007」由教育局及香港教育學院主辦，並以「照顧學習差異」作為主題，目的是透過連串的專業培訓引發仝工對學校體育課程的關注，並分享有關照顧學習差異的經驗。
主題及目標
近年，提供高質素的學校教育成為了本地教育改革的重點。正因如此，如何讓學校及教師為不同學習者提供高質素的教育服務亦受到關注(課程發展議會，2002；教育統籌局，2004)。籌委會成員認為所有學生均能學習，他們均擁有多元智能及在所有學習領域具備不斷增長的潛能。所有教師必需關注學生的學習需要、興趣及能力，同時亦需關注學生的學習以及參與。由此看來，建立所有教育持份者對照顧學習者的不同需要及差異的態度、信念、行為及行動實在必
要。
為實現以上的意向，體育教師應照顧學生的不同能力、需要及興趣以策劃學習及促進他們的表現。體育老師需要留意及熟悉照顧體育科學習者差異的方法，策劃及推行相應的課程、教學知識、技能及能力。他們需要設計及實行一套內容、教學法及評估，以達到照顧學習者差異的目標。最終，不論學生是資優或是能力較遜的一群，皆能將其潛能充份發展(課程發展議會，2002)。
體育教師暑期學校 2007 的目標如下：
• 讓體育教師熟悉體育科的最新發展，特別是照顧學習差異。
• 分享及展示體育老師的教學經驗，特別是如何照顧不同能力的學生。
• 加深體育教師的專業知識，提升具有不同學習需要、能力及興趣的學習者的學習。
「體育教師暑期學校 2007」包括以下活動 :
1. 專題講座
2. 校本經驗分享研討會
3. 教學工作坊
