In just a few years' time, service-learning (SL) has built up a strong momentum at PolyU and the SL community has expanded greatly. The Service-Learning and Leadership Office (SLLO) takes great pride in the instrumental role we play in developing and supporting SL at PolyU. Some of the achievements regarding SL that PolyU has made so far include:
The Global Teaching Excellence Award is the first global award to recognize and celebrate an institutional commitment to the pursuit of teaching and learning excellence. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University was recognised for its service-learning initiative. PolyU is one of 27 finalists and the only Asian University to make it to the final round.
The judging panel, which consisted of educators and academics from all five continents, felt that "The University's 'Service Learning' initiative plays a pivotal role in its institutional strategy, with major efforts being invested in making it inclusive and of sufficient scale to be available to all students.” “Three things that characterised the finalists’ success are: a strong commitment to teaching through mission relevant strategies; second, the scholarship of teaching and learning is absorbed into continuous professional development programmes; and third, the encouragement of participating in placements, internships and volunteering – all of which are hugely enriching the student experience.”
2017 The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Finalist

UGC Teaching Award

The annual UGC Teaching Award was introduced in 2011 to honour those who excel in teaching in the UGC sector. The Award does not only recognise past and present teaching performance and achievements, but also the teachers' leadership in and scholarly contribution to teaching and learning within and across institutions. The awardees are expected to become "ambassadors of good teaching" to collectively make a real and sustained impact in promoting teaching excellence.
