Learning and teaching
The Division of Learning and Teaching offers a range of short- and long-term strategies to help enrich teaching and learning within the Faculty of Education and Social Work. We aim to provide leadership and support in both areas. As such, our work complements and augments support available from other University centres, such as the Institute of Teaching and Learning.
The division assists the faculty in its mission to be the leading provider of education and social work courses in Australia. To this end, we manage faculty planning, accreditation, quality assurance, professional development, and improvement processes for learning and teaching.
In supporting the faculty to achieve its mission, the division provides representation and advice within the faculty and broader University community. This includes providing information for rewarding quality, coordinating student feedback mechanisms, representing faculty interests at University learning and teaching forums, and assisting the work of the Faculty Learning and Teaching Committee.
The figure below provides a visual representation of our work.
