Information Technology (IT) in Education Section Centre of Excellence Scheme
IT in Education Centre of Excellence (CoE) Scheme
The “IT in Educaton Centre of Excellence (CoE) Scheme” aims at providing district-based and subject-based on-site / online remote support services to schools. “CoE Schools” are tasked to build learning communities for scaling up good practices as well to continue to consolidate new experiences and enhance teachers’ repertoire and experiences on IT teaching, aiming at equipping students with the necessary knowledge to face various challenges in the digital era.
Each CoE school comprises two half-time secondees from the same school. In this connection, schools participating in the Scheme have to provide two serving teachers at the same time.
Main duties of secondees
The secondees are required to perform the following duties:
(a) To develop innovative pedagogy and e-resources in collaboration with members of the focus groups assigned to promote the use of IT in learning and teaching;
(b) To make use of their own school as a hub for school networking and a test bed of innovative pedagogy and mobilise teachers in his/her own school to collaborate and test the innovative pedagogy proposed in class;
(c) To line up schools to form district-based/territory-wide professional learning communities / communities of practice, and to share the good IT in Education experiences in regular basis;
(d) To conduct school visits and follow-up visits and offer on-site / online remote support, individually or in a group, to other schools on pedagogical, technological as well as managerial issues related to the implementation of IT in Education, including effective use of e-learning in the blended mode of learning and teaching under the “new normal”;
(e) To plan and organise professional development programmes to share and disseminate the good IT in Education experiences learnt through experiments in his/her own school;
(f) To facilitate teachers to make use of e-assessment to enhance assessment for learning and self-directed learning;
(g) To promote information literacy and provide support in parent education in the context of e-learning and e-safety; and
(h) To keep the IT in Education Section informed of the latest practices and issues related to IT in Education in schools from a frontline practitioner’s perspective and help conveying messages of the Government’s policy and action on various issues relevant to IT in Education to stakeholders including school heads, students and parents.
Normal working locations
The normal working place is the secondee’s own school. Secondees may also be required to work at the office of IT in Education Section at EDB Kowloon Tong Education Services Centre and other locations, such as other schools requesting support services, to be determined by the supervisor in the light of service needs.

Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise (2022/23 School Year) Education Infrastructure Division
Information Technology (IT) in Education Section Centre of Excellence Scheme
Entry Requirements
Nominated teachers should be serving teachers or heads (up to Headmaster II/Principal II level) of primary or secondary schools (including special schools) in the government or aided sector as well as schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme. They should have no less than three years (as at 31 August 2022) of full-time teaching experience in using IT for learning and teaching at primary or secondary level. We will consider applications from nominees who have joined any interflow schemes in the past in view of the nature of the CoE Scheme.
Remarks
(a) The secondment is on a half-time basis.
(b) The CoE Scheme is school-based in nature. Thus, applications have to be submitted by school principals instead of individual teacher applicants.
(c) In addition to the application form to be completed by the applicants, schools should submit a proposal of no more than ten pages containing the following information for the reference and consideration of the Bureau:
background of the school;
three major strengths in e-learning which are in line with the EDB’s policy on IT in Education;
whole-school planning on e-learning implementation, including curriculum planning, capacity building and use of IT tools (e.g. e-textbooks, e-learning resources, e-assessment platforms) in different KLAs and promotion of STEM education;
a school plan in promoting information literacy, and parent education in the context of e-learning and e-safety (including internet safety, healthy and ethical use of electronic devices), if any;
a brief description of achievements in promoting IT in Education in the past three years (with track records), and a concrete e-learning work plan on providing professional support to schools, building their own school’s professional capacity and community of practice in the school sector; and
information on additional manpower support (including an overview of such teachers’
relevant experiences, expertise and major subjects taught) who are considered appropriate to serve as backup to the nominated teachers, if any.
(d) The nominated teachers should indicate clearly in the application their major and minor subjects of teaching in the past three school years, as the teaching experience and subjects taught will be highly related to the professional support duties assigned to them.
(e) As regular meetings are usually conducted in the afternoons on Wednesday, it is strongly advised that schools participating in the Scheme should arrange to have their nominated teachers to be free of teaching or any other school administrative duties in the afternoon every Wednesday.

(f) As the seconded teachers serve on half-secondment basis, it is assumed that about half of their teaching workload will be released. The seconded teachers will be required to conduct workshops and seminars, visit other schools to provide on-site support, and carry out other relevant activities for the IT in Education Section, the school heads should arrange their workload and timetables (e.g. free of teaching workload in a few AM/PM sessions apart from the above meetings on Wednesdays) in such a way that they can serve their roles of providing services to the IT in Education Section under part-time secondment.
(g) Change of teacher(s) is not allowed under any circumstance. Withdrawal of one/both of the nominated teachers from the secondment position would be considered as the school’s withdrawal from the Scheme.
