Star Teachers’ Club

The Star Teachers’ Club was successfully launched on 28 November 2017.  The Club is itself a response to one of HKBU’s initiatives, which is to augment its present mentoring system into a full-fledged academic advising scheme in the new curricular structure. 

​

The project team, alumni mentors and their mentees are entitled to the membership of the Star Teachers’ Club.

​

The invited star teachers of English received their professional qualifications through the PgDE and double-degree programmes at HKBU.  The Club leads to a confluence of minds and hearts as and when these alumni connect with double-degree students through a repertoire of activities for teacher professional learning. 

Star talks/lesson demonstrations

The project coordinators and members draw on their interests and areas of expertise to deliver talks through teaching by example to double-degree students in the form of a sharing event at HKBU. 

​

There are 15–18 star talks/lesson demonstrations over five to six 2–hour sharing sessions.  While the invited talks engage practising teachers and teacher-learners in scholarly discussions of English language education, the lesson demonstrations will make theory (declarative and procedural knowledge) more functional and accessible to the participants.  The star talks/lesson demonstrations provide a forum for the participants to share and evaluate good practices, and to produce new knowledge around purposeful actions (Cambridge, Kaplan, & Suter, 2005).  Each attendee is required to fill in a feedback form at the conclusion of the talks/demonstrations for evaluation purposes. 

​

The presentation materials will be available from                          on this website for sharing and enabling dialogue within the CoP.
