Dear Parents,

Hello everyone! I’m Professor Ye Bing-Cheng, and I’m excited to introduce you to an exceptional school in Puyan Township, Changhua County—Dayuan Elementary School. I highly recommend this school because, since the introduction of the 108 Curriculum, students' learning and entrance exams have evolved beyond textbook content. These exams now regularly feature cross-disciplinary questions, data interpretation, and extended responses. As a result, schools need to adopt more flexible and diverse teaching methods to help students grasp both academic and broader knowledge, while also nurturing self-directed learning and core competencies. This is particularly challenging for rural schools with limited resources, but Dayuan Elementary School has risen to the occasion with dedication and excellence, which is why I’m so eager to recommend it to you.

Since 2021, we’ve been running the Future Literacy Academy project, with a mission to identify and support Taiwan’s most outstanding and committed rural schools, helping them thrive—even surpassing their urban counterparts. Over 50 schools have joined this initiative so far, and each year, the Minister of Education personally awards these schools, recognizing their hard work. The leadership and teachers at Dayuan Elementary School have been exceptionally proactive in joining our project. They’ve embraced the resources, methods, and strategies of the 108 Curriculum’s competence-based education, integrating them into their teaching. They continue to work closely with their colleagues to implement these practices, ensuring every student builds a strong foundation in literacy skills.

As a result, we’ve seen the students at this school grow and improve year after year, not just academically, but in all aspects of their education. Dayuan Elementary School stands out for its rich and diverse educational achievements. The school focuses on five key areas: cultivating moral character, nurturing talent, fostering a love of reading, showcasing diverse abilities, and establishing a strong foundation in English while connecting with global standards. This ambitious school has crafted a curriculum around the theme "Taste Dayuan, Forge Ahead," tailored to different grade levels and truly impressive in scope.

The school has earned several recognitions, including as a Leading School in Changhua County, an International Education Sailing School, a Bilingual Education Sailing School, and a Technology Education Sailing School. Dayuan Elementary School has also been certified by our Future Literacy Academy project as a Model School in Reading Literacy. Within Changhua County, it’s recognized as a leader in international education, setting an example for many other schools. Beyond academics, Dayuan offers a variety of extracurricular activities, such as ocarina, handpan, children’s movement, creative writing, inline skating, international education, and courses to build a strong foundation in English.

各位家長，大家好，我是葉丙成老師，在這邊很誠摯的跟大家推薦一間彰化縣埔鹽鄉的優質學校大園國小。之所以特別推薦這所學校給各位，是因為108課綱啟動以來，孩子從學校的學習到後續的升學考試，都不再只侷限於課本教過的內容，他是個跨學科、多圖表、長篇幅的考題，這已經是常態，學校的教學必須要能夠更靈活多元的去引導孩子理解學科內外的知識，並且帶領孩子養成自主學習跟核心素養的能力，特別是資源不大夠的偏鄉學校，這個是更大的挑戰，但是這所學校做得非常好，也非常的用心，這就是為什麼我之所以特別推薦這所學校給各位家長的原因。

我們從2021年開始啟動未來素養學堂計畫，我們的使命就是要發掘出臺灣最優質、最用心的偏鄉學校，把我們的所有資源給他，幫助這個學校變得更厲害。比都會區還厲害，到現在已經有超過50所學校參與這個計畫，教育部長各自每年都到現場來為我們這些學校頒獎，來肯定學校努力，那我們看見這所學校的校長、主任跟老師都非常積極的組隊。參與我們的這個未來素養學堂計畫，將108課綱素養教學的資源方法跟策略很用心的學習，而且導入到學校，然後持續的跟老師們一起來實踐推動，幫每一個孩子扎根養成素養的實力。所以我們看到這所學校的孩子每年都在進步，每年都在改變，不只在學歷的增A減C，我們更看到這所學校在辦學特色上面有非常多豐富很精彩。

參與我們計劃的這個彰化大園國小，就是以培德育才、深耕閱讀、多元展能、英語奠基、接軌國際這五大主軸，來全面發展的學校。這個非常具有企圖心的學校，他的校本課程還以「品味大園，勇往直前」為主題，課程的內容依照不同的年段去發展，那學校呢？也很厲害哦。這個也獲得了彰化縣領航學校的這個認證。有國際教育揚帆學校、雙語教育揚帆學校，還有科技教育揚帆學校，非常厲害，大園國小也獲得我們未來素養學堂計畫的認證，成為閱讀素養典範學校，他在彰化縣呢，也是國際教育的任務學校的一個地位，非常厲害，就帶領著這個很多學校。它還提供了很多多元社團的活動，包括陶笛、空靈鼓、兒童律動、作文、直排輪、國際教育啊、還有英語奠基的這些。
