Professional Development Courses for SBA in the HKDSE 
To support the implementation of the School-based Assessment Component in the HKDSE English Language Examination, a series of free professional development courses and sharing sessions has been organized by the HKEAA. The programmes for this year include:
- Sharing Sessions for Panel Chairpersons and SBA School Coordinators
- 12-hour courses for English teachers who are not familiar with the SBA component or who have never taken any SBA PD course previously
- 6-hour courses for teachers who have SBA experience and would like to learn more about how to implement the Part B (elective modules) of SBA in the HKDSE.
Teachers who have already taken the new PD courses in the first eight rounds (between October 2009 and June 2012) need not reapply.
Please click here to download the application form and apply early to ensure your place. Application Deadline for Round 9: September 28, 2012.
