Nominations are now invited for awards under the 2019 Teaching Excellence Award Scheme (TEAS).

The TEAS aims to recognise, reward and promote excellence in teaching at the University. Under the Scheme, there are four categories of awards, viz. University Distinguished Teaching Award, Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA), Early Career Teaching Award (ECTA) and Teaching Innovation Award (TIA). Besides individual awards, both OTA and TIA comprise team awards to recognise and encourage collaborative effort and achievement in enhancing teaching and learning. All Faculties are encouraged to nominate colleagues who have made outstanding teaching and learning contributions for these awards. For ECTA, in particular, we hope to receive at least one nomination from each Faculty.

For details of TEAS, please refer to the TEAS 2019 call circular (document 246/419)

Nominees are advised to contact the Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) for advice on the preparation of teaching portfolios. CETL will be offering seminars/workshops in May/June and September 2019 to support interested staff members to prepare for their submissions.

Questions may be directed, in the first instance, to Ms. Synthia Chau, Curriculum Development and Quality Assurance Section, at 2859 2440 or via email to schau@hku.hk. All nominations and the supporting documents should reach Ms. Chau on or before October 18, 2019.
