 Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence Brochure |
||
 |
||
| |
|
||
| |
The Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence Scheme, organized by the Quality Education Fund (QEF), is a scheme for teachers. It aims to recognize exemplary teaching practices and foster a culture of collaboration among the teaching profession for continuous professional development. Awarded teachers will share their experiences with other fellow teachers and collaborate with others for professional growth. | ||
 |
|||
The Scheme stresses the nomination process as it is the process that will encourage collaborative reflection among the teaching profession. It also stresses the post-award sharing activities, which will encourage teachers to build collegial networks and share their experiences. The Scheme is not one to identify all-round teachers or prescribe a rigid model of excellence for every teacher. |
|||
|
|||
| This Scheme has the endorsement of the Chief Executive and distinguishes itself from others. The Chief Executive's support testifies the importance that the government attaches to the teaching profession. | |||
|
|||
| The
Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence Scheme is operated
as a pilot
as a start. The Scheme will be open to teachers teaching subjects
under the
Chinese Language Key
Learning
Area (KLA) and the English Language
KLA in primary schools and secondary schools, as well as teachers
who are
involved in language teaching activities in kindergartens and special
schools. We shall organize the next round for teachers of other KLAs,
subject
to review of the effectiveness of the Scheme in late 2004 and availability
of resources at the time. The logo of the Scheme is a blossoming flower to reflect the dedication of teachers in educating and nurturing our children. Teacher's dedication and effort are to children what sunlight and water are to flowering plants. The petals include a book and a pen to highlight the Scheme's focus on learning and teaching. |
|||
|
|||
The Scheme will not be successful without your participation. We encourage you to nominate colleagues and peers whose teaching practices are inspiring and exemplary.
