For your information, regarding the "Implementation Plan for Rewarding Excellent Teachers and Administrative Staff in Municipal Schools and Kindergartens for Full-time Domestic and Overseas Study and Research in 2026," we welcome outstanding teachers from our school to actively submit proposals. Please refer to the details below.

Details:
1. The Taoyuan City Government Department of Education, in order to enhance teachers' professional knowledge and broaden their international perspective, will continue to implement the aforementioned plan and encourage teachers' professional development, aiming to cultivate outstanding educational talents for the benefit of all students in the city.

2. Key points of this plan are summarized as follows:
(1) Eligibility and Categories:
1. Eligibility: Currently employed full-time qualified teachers and administrative staff (referring to teachers with administrative duties and principals) in municipal schools and kindergartens. Applicants must have served in Taoyuan City for at least seven years (inclusive) within the last ten years, or have accumulated a total of eight years of service, and have served in their current school for at least two years (including before the change of affiliation from national institutions). They must also not have any violations of the relevant provisions in Chapter 4 of the Teachers' Act (years of service are calculated up to July 31st of the application year).

2. Application Categories:
(1) General Teacher and Administrative Staff Category: Applicants who have demonstrated outstanding performance in teaching excellence, administrative innovation, student counseling, administrative service, and educational sharing during their service period.
(2) Bilingual Teacher Category: Applicants who have at least 2 years of experience in bilingual teaching in Taoyuan City schools and have achieved outstanding results.

(2) Study Period and Number of Awards:
1. Study Period: From July 1, 2027, to August 27, 2028. Study can be undertaken on a semester or summer break basis, with the duration planned according to the necessity of the study, but not exceeding six months.
2. Number of Awards: Annually, the General Teacher and Administrative Staff Category will award 6 teachers and 3 administrative staff. The Bilingual Category will award 3 teachers (several alternates may be selected for each category). The quotas for each category may be interchanged. If the award standards are not met, the number of recipients may be less than the quota or exceed it.

(3) Funding: The Taoyuan City Government Department of Education will subsidize NT$35,000 for full-time teachers and administrative staff selected for full-time domestic and overseas study and research, in addition to their regular salary, to cover related expenses during the study and research period. The expenditure will be reimbursed according to relevant regulations.

(4) Important Notes:
1. For award recipients starting from 2027, if they undertake overseas study, they must submit entry and exit records to facilitate the Taoyuan City Government Department of Education's review of whether the teacher's overseas study schedule aligns with the original plan. Additionally, to accommodate flight schedules, the entry and exit times for new award recipients may be flexibly adjusted within two weeks before or after the start of the plan.
2. Upon completion of the study and research period, a report on the research findings must be submitted within two months. For overseas study, proof of entry and exit dates (e.g., copy of e-ticket) must be attached. If there are valid reasons, an extension of one month for submission may be granted upon approval from the Taoyuan City Government Department of Education, with a maximum of one extension.
3. If it is verified during the study and research period that the award recipient's research location, purpose, or content does not align with the approved plan, the Taoyuan City Government Department of Education may require the repayment of salary and subsidies received during the study and research period.
4. Award recipients are required to conduct teaching sharing sessions related to their research findings (2 sessions for semester study, 1 session for summer study). One session can be held at their original school or one session can be invited externally (online workshops are also acceptable and can be combined with project briefing sessions). Relevant explanatory materials and supporting photos should be submitted, and upon completion, reported to the Taoyuan City Government Department of Education for record. Bilingual teachers may opt to produce at least one lesson plan and teaching video, and collaborate with the Taoyuan City English Teaching Resource Center to revise and upload them to the dedicated platform, as a substitute for one teaching sharing session, which should be submitted along with the research report to the Department.

3. We welcome outstanding teachers from our school to apply. Please submit the application form and other relevant documents to the organizing school, Qingxi Junior High School, by Friday, November 28, 2025.
