Teaching and learning
Specific outcomes include:
Teachers building and demonstrating excellence. This strand extends the current strategy of identifying good teachers and developing potential through internal teaching awards and grants before supporting them to obtain national ALTC awards, grants and fellowships. In 2008 a staged program of support will be implemented, aimed at extending the community of teachers engaged at various levels in developing, documenting and disseminating innovative approaches to learning and teaching.
Developing mentors in teaching excellence. The program will identify and support a team of mentors who will develop their leadership capacity by developing strategies in collaboration with other mentors and by working alongside applicants for grants, awards and other professional applications.
Developing a quality teaching advisory network A network of invited local, national and international consultants is being developed, in order to help benchmark the quality of grant and award applications against international standards, and to assist participants to recognise indicators of excellence in learning and teaching. The consultants will also be invited to provide key workshops and advisory services, assist in benchmarking and provide an independent evaluation of the outcomes and progress of BuILT.
