LAMP Curriculum System: Exploration and Practice of the Mental Health Education Curriculum System during the Compulsory Education Stage
The school has established a core competency system for mental health in secondary education, tailored to meet the demands of individual lifelong development and societal needs. By integrating educational philosophies, characteristics of student development, and diverse stakeholder requirements, the system identifies 18 core competencies across six dimensions, including self-awareness, emotional management, and interpersonal communication, covering crucial aspects such as physical and mental well-being, positive mindset, and responsibility. Based on this framework, the school has developed the "LAMP" (Lighting the Path to the Heart) mental health education curriculum system, structured as a "three-tier, six-category" model. This includes foundational, extended activity, and exploratory research courses, with 24 sub-themes under six major themes and 72 transferable course modules. Additionally, an innovative "12345" implementation model has been proposed, aiming to comprehensively enhance students' psychological qualities, foster positive mental attributes, and lay a solid foundation for their lifelong development.
