Short Description

Policy changes will impact in unknown ways the public education of ethnic minority students across China, including Yunnan Province. Yunnan has the largest and most diverse concentrations of ethnic peoples. Most of the 20,000 elementary schools in Yunnan are small rural ethnic minority-majority schools with students of varying ethnicities. Principals face new and unprecedented challenges requiring new approaches to professional development of themselves and teachers they supervise. We preliminarily highlight issues regarding instructional design considerations.
