Shortlisting Result of the Teaching Excellence Awards 2010/11

The Teaching Excellence Awards (TEA) 2010/11 received a total of 22 eligible nominations from students, programme committees and past TEA winners. Of the 22 nominations received, 14 nominees have submitted their teaching portfolios to proceed with the selection process. The TEA Selection Panel 2010/11 has considered all the teaching portfolios in detail and is very impressed by the commitment of all the nominees to demonstrate very high quality teaching professional practices with sound evidences of their excellent performance. After a very careful and rigorous deliberation on the quality of the teaching portfolios in relation to the 4 selection criteria at its meeting held on 16th February 2011, the Panel shortlisted the following candidates to proceed to the next stage of the selection exercise for TEA 2010/11:

Mr. CHAN Sing Lai (COM)
Dr. FANG Yulin (IS)
Mr. KWOK Kam Hung (CCIV)
Dr. KYAW Yin Hlaing (AIS)
Dr. MARTINSONS Maris (MGT)
Ms. TSUI Fung Ling, Sara (SLW)
Dr. YAO Shengyu, Mike (COM)

The shortlisted candidates are undifferentiated with no internal ranking. I would like to congratulate these colleagues for being shortlisted and wish them all the best for the remaining stages of the selection exercise. I am also grateful to all staff and students who took the initiative to nominate outstanding teachers. The valuable comments received from heads of department are also appreciated.

The TEA represents concerted efforts of the entire University to promote the culture of quality teaching and learning. I truly believe that everyone participating will benefit from this meaningful exercise.

I shall update you the result of the final selection of the TEA in mid-April 2011.
