About
The Awards
Outstanding Performance in Teaching
The President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Teaching was established to
recognise and reward excellence in teaching and to emphasise the University’s commitment to
fostering teaching innovation and excellence,
enhancing student learning,
and providing teaching scholarships. Both individual staff members and teams at the
institutional level are eligible for the award.
The nominees were considered by a selection panel comprising Professor Stephen
CHEUNG Yan-leung (President) as Chairman; Mr YAU Siu-hung (lay Council member); Professor
Anthony SO Man-cho (external member from a higher education institution); Professor John LEE
Chi-kin, Vice President (Academic) and Provost; Dr LIANG Yuan and Dr Thomas TAM Cheung-on (two
representatives elected by and from the Academic Board); Professor Sylvia TANG Yee-fan, Dr WANG
Lixun and Professor Christina YU Wai-mui (three Faculty Deans/their nominees); Dr Annie HU
Xinyun (recipient of the previous year’s President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in
Teaching); and Mr Jet Uy BUENCONSEJO (student member on the Academic Board, invited by the
President).
The panel members conducted a rigorous selection process, comprising both textual
scrutiny and interviews with the nominees, using the following assessment criteria:
- Adoption of learner-centred approaches,
ability to engage,
inspire,
and impact students,
and demonstration of superior acumen in teaching (in face-to-face, virtual or hybrid
settings);
- Design of courses,
programmes or curriculum that reflects a command of the field;
and
- Past and present achievements and leadership in teaching and potential scholarly
contributions to,
and impact on,
the development of effective teaching practices in the University and other
institutions.
