Launched in 2014/15 academic year, HSUHK Teaching Excellence Awards (formerly named as HSMC Teaching Excellence Awards) are established to recognise and reward distinguished teachers of the University who have demonstrated outstanding performance in teaching, dedication to continuous improvement in pedagogy, and made a distinguished contribution to teaching. The Awards will be presented annually to distinguished teachers.
Eligibility
All full-time academic staff members (professorial and teaching staff) who (i) have taught at least three classes within two regular semesters (excluding the summer term) in an academic year; (ii) have taught for a continuous period of at least 2 years in HSUHK; and (iii) whose annual average satisfaction score and annual average performance score in the Students’ Feedback on Modules and Teaching Questionnaire reach 5.0 in two consecutive years, are eligible for nomination for the Awards. The full-time academic staff members who do not meet the above requirements are also welcome to apply.
All part-time academic staff members who (i) have taught at least two regular semesters (excluding the summer term) in the past two consecutive years in HSUHK and (ii) whose average satisfaction score and average performance score in the Students’ Feedback on Modules and Teaching Questionnaire of each semester in the past two consecutive years reach 5.0, are eligible for nomination for the Awards.
Documentation Required
Applicants are required to prepare a reflective statement of 2 to 3 pages outlining their teaching philosophy, practices and goals, for submission to the Selection Panel for consideration. The reflective statement may also include details about their accomplishment, such as new teaching methods and innovative classroom techniques they developed.
Applicants are also encouraged to submit a simple teaching portfolio to the Selection Panel. The portfolio may contain (i) module outlines or sample of teaching materials from current and last academic year to demonstrate organisation and clarity in presentation; (ii) sample assessments from current and last academic year to demonstrate student learning quality that facilitate students’ continuous improvement; and (iii) evidence on the achievement of module intended learning outcomes.
HSUHK Teaching Excellence Awards Workshop
From Good to Great: Enhancing Your Teaching Statement and Portfolio for Teaching Excellence Award Applications
To assist applicants in preparing their teaching statements and portfolios for submission, the University Teaching and Learning Quality Committee (UTLQC), in collaboration with the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL), organised a workshop on 12 August 2024. The workshop began with opening remarks by Professor Jeanne Fu, Chairman of the UTLQC cum Vice-President (Learning and Student Experience).
Former award recipients, Dr Holly Chung, Senior Lecturer of the Department of English and Dr Daniel Mo, Associate Professor of the Department of Supply Chain and Information Management, who have been recognised multiple times, were invited to share their valuable insights and practical tips on creating appealing teaching statements and portfolios. Dr Ben Cheng, Director of CTL concluded the workshop by emphasising the importance of aligning beliefs and values with teaching methods in applicants’ statements.
