Professional Learning

Collaboration,  Collegiality and Community:  

We envision a professional learning environment that promotes collaboration and community among university teachers. By facilitating peer-to-peer learning, interdisciplinary collaboration,  mentoring and supportive networks, we aim to create a vibrant community of educators dedicated to continuous improvement.

Research-Informed Practice:  

We are committed to bridging the gap between research and practice in the professional learning of university teachers. Our vision encourages teachers to integrate evidence-based practices which have a positive impact on student learning. Our educators will be supported to have the expertise and confidence to contribute to the scholarship of learning and teaching. 

Inclusivity, Integrity and Dignity:  

Professional learning will meet the needs of all staff with an educational role and all members of the community will be respected, valued and acknowledged.  

We will work with indigenous leaders to support the authentic integration of Indigenous knowledges into curriculum and teaching. 

Foster a culture of continuous improvement:  

Our vision for professional learning of university teachers is to create a culture that values ongoing development, where educators are encouraged and supported to reflect on and enhance their knowledge, skills, and teaching practices throughout their careers. 

Student-Centred Approach:  

We strive to equip university teachers with the tools and strategies to create inclusive, engaging, and transformative learning experiences that prioritise the diverse needs and aspirations of students. 

Adaptability and Innovation:

Recognising the evolving landscape of higher education, our vision promotes adaptability and innovation among university educators. We aim to equip them with the agility to navigate technological advancements, embrace digital pedagogies, and respond positively and effectively to the changing needs of learners in a rapidly evolving world.
