Teacher Ambassador Programme (TAP)

TAP1 

Our Faculty has always valued collaborative and generative partnerships between schools, teacher educators and researchers. We are also keen to reimagine “Partnership” by adding greater value and flexibility to our existing relationships and fostering more dialogue between the Faculty and schools. In short, we seek to develop partnerships that thrive on reciprocity, trust and continual renewal and development. The School-University Partnerships (SUP) Office invites school principals to nominate committed teachers / middle-managers / experienced teachers in various disciplines from their schools to take part in the Teacher Ambassador Programme (TAP). Specific subjects for the TAP 2024-25 include Secondary Chinese Language, Secondary English Language, Secondary Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.

 

 

 

TAP1 

The Programme is comprised of two parts. First, TAP Teachers will have the chance to attend two to three workshops / training sessions (including one to two subject-based workshops) on how to conduct subject-based professional lesson observations, including post-lesson conferencing supported by theory and practice. Second, TAP Teachers will be invited to work alongside our own Faculty colleagues through a process of co-learning to conduct Professional Practicum lesson observations during semester 2 between February and April. They will support student-teachers through teacher education classes at HKU, offering guidance and sharing their insights with beginning teachers.

 

We envision that the Programme will not only enable TAP Teachers to enhance their supervisory and leadership skills but also broaden their repertoire through understanding other school settings and cultures. The Programme therefore provides a valuable platform for teachers to engage in professional dialogue and cultivate ongoing growth.
