Workshops/Seminars for All Teachers s (http://edc.polyu.edu.hk/activitycalendar.asp)

We run teaching development workshops throughout the year to help you:

• learn about new developments in teaching and learning, and work out strategies for improvement,
• keep abreast of the University’s educational initiatives and develop skills that are needed to support the initiatives, and
• hear what other PolyU teachers are doing in their classrooms, and share useful ideas.

We advertise our workshops in advance with emails, posters and flyers. Surely some will be of interest to you!
