VAS Enhances Kindergarten Education Quality in the New Era

Recently, Vietnam Australia International School (VAS) successfully organized its annual kick-off training week for kindergarten teachers, aiming to ensure the best preparation for the 2025 – 2026 school year.

The program not only provided essential professional knowledge but also introduced the latest educational trends, contributing to improving the quality of child care and teaching in accordance with international standards.

1. Implementation of the 2025 – 2026 Curriculum and Key Notes

Teachers were thoroughly introduced to the new curriculum based on the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) framework, integrated with VAS’s modern teaching approaches. Experts emphasized the importance of holistic child development—focusing on intellectual, emotional, and social skills—while highlighting standards for health care and safety in the school environment.

2. Food Safety Training and Case Studies

The Food Safety Training and Emergency Response Session further reaffirms VAS's commitment to a safe learning environment. Teachers were guided on the procedures for controlling the quality of school meals and trained on how to quickly handle emergency situations related to student health. They were also updated with timely knowledge on food safety in the context of the increasing prevalence of low-quality food. Equipping teachers with food safety knowledge plays a crucial role in enhancing management effectiveness and risk prevention within the school environment.

3. Strengthening Kindergarten Expertise and Play-Based Education

A series of in-depth kindergarten education workshops were held, with key highlights including:

• “From Incorrect Behavior to Positive Behavior – The Role of Teachers in Guiding Student Behavior”: helping teachers better understand children’s psychology, enabling them to guide behavior positively and nurture good habits.
• “Methods of Organizing Play Activities and Assessing Children Through Play”: emphasizing the importance of learning through play, helping children develop social skills, creative thinking, and self-exploration abilities.

4. Educational Technology: Interactive Boards and AI in Teaching

VAS continues to be a pioneer in applying technology to kindergarten education:

• Interactive Board Training: enabling teachers to design engaging and interactive lessons that inspire children’s curiosity.
• “AI in Action: Prompt-Writing Skills Every Teacher Should Know”: introducing effective AI prompt-writing techniques to support creative lesson planning and personalized learning experiences for different groups of children.

5. Developing Educational Plans and Assessing Children Based on the MOET Framework

Teachers were trained to develop systematic educational plans and assess children’s development according to the MOET standard framework. This ensures a structured teaching approach while enabling comprehensive monitoring of children’s progress.

VAS’s kick-off training week is not only a professional development program but also an opportunity for teachers to update new educational trends, enhance technological skills, and share experiences in child care and teaching. With such thorough preparation, VAS reaffirms its leading position in high-quality kindergarten education and is ready to welcome a new school year full of excitement and success.
