CityUHK empowers educators with AI & innovative pedagogy at SKH Bishop Mok Sau Tseng Secondary School Teachers' Development Day

City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) welcomed Principal Wong Lee Lee and 56 teachers from SKH Bishop Mok Sau Tseng Secondary School for a full-day Teachers' Development Day on 13 March 2026. The event provided valuable professional development opportunities focused on innovative teaching strategies, team-based learning, and the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education.

The day commenced with warm welcome remarks from Professor Steve Wong Hang, Associate Vice-President (Community Engagement). In his address, Professor Wong emphasised the need for continuous adaptation in both university and secondary education. "Whether in universities or secondary schools, we must keep pace with the times. Universities need to continuously innovate their teaching and research models; secondary school teachers must equip themselves, proficiently master diverse teaching methods, and continuously unleash students' potential," said Professor Wong.

Teachers then participated in an engaging team-based learning workshop delivered by Dr Lei Chi Un and Mr Leung Yiu Lam Marco from the Talent and Education Development Office. The interactive session explored practical ways to apply team-based learning to boost student engagement and collaborative skills in the classroom.

After lunch, participants attended two insightful AI-focused talks. Professor Santiago Alonso Sousa, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, presented on "Teaching and Assessing in the Age of AI: Practical Strategies for High School Classrooms". Professor Alonso Sousa shared approaches for integrating AI tools ethically and effectively into secondary-level teaching and assessment.

This was followed by a talk themed "AI is Reshaping Academic Development and Career Transformation" from Professor Ray Cheung, Associate Provost (Digital Learning). Professor Cheung explored how AI is revolutionising learning environments, skill development, and career pathways in the digital era.

The participating teachers expressed appreciation for the enriching programme, which offered fresh perspectives on pedagogy and technology integration. CityUHK looks forward to continued partnership with SKH Bishop Mok Sau Tseng Secondary School to nurture the next generation in Hong Kong.
