Introduction
The Education University of Hong Kong is committed to the advancement of learning and teaching, through a diverse offering of academic and research programmes on teacher education and complementary social sciences and humanities disciplines. It places quality learning and teaching at the forefront of its activities. We are committed to nurturing outstanding and caring educators and professionals who contribute constructively to sustainable social and economic development in Hong Kong and beyond.
At its 77th Meeting on 12 October 2022, the Learning and Teaching Quality Committee (LTQC) agreed in principle that all part-time (PT) staff should be strongly encouraged to participate in the Induction Programme except those with strong justification (LTQC 82/2022 refers). At the 78th LTQC Meeting on 10 November 2022, the revised exemption requirements and reporting procedures were endorsed (LTQCM 8/2022 refers).
The induction programme offers part-time staff who are teaching postgraduate/undergraduate courses with a variety of training on the policies, technical arrangements, and practical details related to teaching at the EdUHK. The ultimate goals of the induction programmes are to assist teaching staff to train students to attain the desirable attributes under the PEER & I framework set by the University (https://lt.eduhk.hk/graduate-attributes/peer-i/).
