Description of Our Community: Our school is located in the neighborhood of Taoyuan Cultural District. The parents are in the comparatively high socio-economic status, so they stress much more on children's education. Many parents are willing to be school volunteers to help establishing a better educational environment for the children. A group of moms join the school counseling team to promote children’s education of both emotion management and character in the classrooms. In addition to getting familiar with the course content, they need to spend a lot of time learning presentation/ teaching skills since they didn’t go to education-related departments in school. There is more manpower in the school’s counseling office than that in any other school. There is a psychological consultation teacher and a professional social worker in the office. Both of them are willing to help volunteer moms to improve themselves through improving courses. Teachers and volunteers help each other to give hands to students in need of help.
Project Description: School volunteers with the red uniform walk around every corner of the school. The volunteers we are the most familiar with are the counseling volunteers coming to the classrooms and giving courses every Monday and Friday. Every time when we saw they share their knowledge and present exaggerate performances on stage, it’s hard to believe that they are just parents, not teachers, from their confidence and eloquence. Some moms join the small-group counseling group. They accompany some children to play games at the self-study time in the morning to find the strength to become better. To we students, volunteer moms just come to take classes. However, we don’t know they spend their own time improving themselves to give classes better, even discuss some cases with the school’s counseling teacher to make their own progress. We hope that we can make an in-depth exploration to understand the counseling volunteers’ efforts and dedication through this project.
