| Thanks to the generosity of Cheng & Tsui Company,
the Cheng & Tsui Professional Development Award for Teachers of Chinese is designed to enhance the knowledge
and skills of teachers of Chinese, especially teachers new to the field.
(See Cheng & Tsui Company President Jill Cheng's 17 November 2000 speech.)
The award is given to support the attendance of
pre-collegiate (including heritage school) and collegiate teachers at training workshops, seminars, conferences,
and other in-service learning experiences at local, national, or international levels; and/or to collaborate
with a mentor teacher. Teacher training workshops and seminars attended by the applicant should be focused on
Chinese pedagogy and issues of Chinese teaching and learning. The fund has designated an annual amount of $1,000
to be divided between at least two teachers each year.
