As a leader, Dr ZHOU (Gary) Zejun advocates collaboration. With concerted efforts from all stakeholders of the school community, pupils can be exposed to more resources for nourishment and a powerful learning experience.
First, he advocates the Theory of Relation Marketing in how to build collaborations among a set of key school community members. Instead of a focus on transactions and profiteering in many industries on conventional practice of marketing, the Theory of Relation Marketing in education is premised on constructing a positive collaborative relationship between school and society, principals and teachers, students and parents. Managed well, this collaborative relationship can promote cooperation, exceed the limits of the campus and the classroom, and introduce societal resources to the school. Dr ZHOU (Gary) Zejun asserts, "Everyone is a resource collector. They feed back their resources and energy to the group so that everyone can make progress together." He once organized parent-taught classes, inviting parents from different industries such as rocket researchers, emergency doctors, venture capital practitioners, and formula racing promoters to share expertise with students and bring students a unique learning experience, in addition to the exposure to the world of work.
In his work with colleagues, he advocates creating a professional learning community in order to build a mission-driven school. If all colleagues are acting towards a common goal, higher efficiency and quality are the natural outcome. With a profound understanding of such cooperation, Dr ZHOU (Gary) Zejun will continue with King’s current policy and practice of building an academic team with diverse skills and areas of expertise, inviting top teachers with a broad vision and advanced teaching philosophy for pupils.
Building KSS in Shenzhen, best known for being a fertile ground for innovations and progress worldwide, he is looking forward to making best use of local resources, creating opportunities for pupils to access high-tech and to further explore the world with the help of cutting-edge information technology.
The realization of balanced, well-rounded and collaborative educational experience of KSS is only achieved through concrete efforts and hard work, step by step. KSS, with a grand vision in mind, needs to be a master in implementing it. As the saying goes in English, “devil’s in the detail”. Guided by the mission and vision of the school and aided by grounded daily educational practice, KSS will be able to provide an education that pupils deserve and need.
