Winthrop Professor Mark Israel 2008 ALTC Teaching Fellow Biography Professor Mark Israel is Winthrop Professor of Law and Criminology at The University of Western Australia and Adjunct Professor of Law and Criminology at Flinders University. With a strong leadership and publication history, Professor Israel is a recipient of the 2004 Prime Minister's Award for Australian University Teacher of the Year and has been honoured with a Senior Fellowship by the Higher Education Academy (UK). Agents of Change: using awards for teaching excellence to identify and develop new generations of leadership in learning and teaching Responding to a series of challenges presented by senior researchers of leadership in learning and teaching in Australian universities, this Fellowship program aims to identify the ways that institutional, disciplinary and national teaching award schemes have and could be used to develop new generations of leadership in higher education. The project investigates award recipients' understanding of leadership and charts their development of skills, knowledge and capacity in the area. Using Flinders University as a trial site, it will provide direct input into a Leadership Program and the ALTC-funded Pathways to Excellence initiative. In addition, through project and institutional partnerships, it will disseminate better practice through the sector, building on work achieved by and integrating lessons from three excellence-related schemes - the Awards for Teaching Excellence, the Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program, and the Promoting Excellence Initiative.
