Excellent Leadership of Learning and Teaching Programme

Around 450 principals, teacher leaders and scholar-practitioners from more than 100 Hong Kong primary and secondary schools came together for the FEHD-APCLC Knowledge Transfer programme 2016, titled “Excellent Leadership of Learning and Teaching”.

Participants engaged with Prof. Chiu Chi-shing, Professor of the Department of Education Policy and Leadership and Associate Director of The Joseph Lau Luen Hung Charitable Trust Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership and Change (APCLC) and The Centre for Excellence for Learning and Teaching, and his school development team presented strategies to improve student outcomes under the new curriculum and examined how we can systematically develop outstanding learning and teaching teams. The programme allowed participants to:

	further understand and integrate how leadership in learning and teaching facilitates effective learning, including class preparation, class observation, assessment of teaching & learning and teaching effectiveness; and
	better use data and evidence to evaluate school development; and to cope with new expectations of teaching and learning, such as self-directed learning, e-learning and Science-Technology-Engineering-Math (STEM) education.

Our learning and teaching leadership programmes are part of the Faculty of Education and Human Development and the APCLC’s commitment to supporting quality leading, learning and teaching in Hong Kong and across the region.
