"The rigour of the process is commendable and rarely seen in other institutions…This process allows the members of the selection panel to have a multidimensional perspective on each candidate, and it allows also the candidates to demonstrate a wider range of their skills. What is also quite exceptional is the addition of two external members in the selection panel. This ‘outsider’ perspective adds also a lot to the credibility and prestige of your award."

"It was a great pleasure to meet so many talented teachers at CityU, and to experience your excellent TEA selection procedures. I would congratulate CityU on what they have in-place for the TEA. It is a comprehensive and outstanding way of recognizing teaching excellence."
