SHSID High School Open Week on “Deep Purpose & Dynamic Engagement” Successfully Concludes

December 1, 2025

From November 24 to 28, 2025, SHSID High School successfully held its school-level Open Week. With the theme of “Deep Purpose & Dynamic Engagement,” nine teachers delivered outstanding open classes covering all high school disciplines: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Psychology, and Computer Science.


Every high school faculty member actively registered to observe and provide thoughtful feedback, generating over 170 observation records and an impressive 65% cross-disciplinary observation rate. This is a wonderful reflection of the SHSID teaching community's passion and collective growth mindset.


This Open Week was far more than a display of teaching techniques. It deliberately directed lively classroom interaction toward the true core of each discipline and the cultivation of students’ deep, transferable disciplinary literacy. Each presenting teacher, guided by a profound sense of purpose, moved students from simply “knowing facts” to “thinking like true scholars and scientists” in their field:



• History: The Fall of Constantinople – Building historical literacy, analytical skills, and digital ethical awareness



• Psychology: Depth of Processing – Why We Remember – Students personally experience shallow vs. deep encoding, turning psychology into real-life study tools



• English: Comparative Literature – Cross-text analysis of craft and style; cultivating clear, logical, and persuasive expression



• Biology: Neural Signaling – Moving beyond memorization to think, evaluate, and discover like scientists



• Chinese: Hero’s Seventy-Two Transformations – Nezha’s Evolution and Its Cultural & Emotional Roots – Linking ancient myth with modern adolescent identity and growth



• Mathematics: Exploring the “Skeleton” of Quadrilaterals – Diagonals – Full journey from observation → discovery → conjecture → proof, mastering mathematical reasoning patterns



• Physics: Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics – Transforming a law into an understanding of “the arrow of time” and a dynamic universe



• Chemistry: Periodic Law of Elements – Using AI to reshape learning while reaffirming the irreplaceable creativity of human thought



• Computer Science: Designing UML Diagrams – Seamlessly blending AI agents with object-oriented principles, making AI reasoning visible, and fostering reflective technical literacy


Every lesson combined intellectual depth with genuine warmth, vibrant interaction, and rigorous academic progression. In post-lesson discussions, teachers repeatedly shared: “Dynamic engagement is not just about keeping students busy—it’s about raising the level of their thinking.” “These classes made me reconsider the core of my own subject.”


The Open Week may have ended, but our commitment to “Deep Purpose & Dynamic Engagement” lives on. Heartfelt thanks to every teacher who opened their classroom and to all who observed and reflected with such enthusiasm. Let us bring this same spirit into our daily teaching, together creating classrooms that are both profoundly academic and genuinely human.
