The membership of the TGfU provides an international impact on the development of TGfU from Hong Kong PE teachers. He is also currently the Secretary of Hong Kong PE Association. Mission StatementWith the previous successful work had been done by Dr. LIU, Raymond, Dr. LI, Chung, and Dr. CRUZ, Alberto, I believe TGfU is one of the essential teaching models in teaching PE. Our mission is to nurture quality PE teachers and develop innovative and strategic development in teaching PE in Hong Kong. In achieving such a mission, we are obliged to create a professional learning community in Hong Kong in teaching PE and sports coaching with the domain of pedagogical development by using TGfU in schools and different sports, as well as building up relationships with PE teachers and sports coaches as a professional learning community through collaborative research, conferences, lessons for analysis and, publications.
I would be more than happy to connect the Hong Kong PE and coaches community to the world professional community by sharing the research and practices on TGfU. |
