Awards

The Australian Awards for University Teaching are designed to recognise quality teaching practice and outstanding contributions to student learning. It is intended that recipients, with the support of their institutions, will contribute to systemic change in learning and teaching through ongoing knowledge sharing and dissemination, for example, presentations within the learning and teaching community, collegial mentoring, pairing and networking, and involvement in university and higher education committees.

Five Award programs recognising teaching excellence and outstanding contributions to student learning are available:

• Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning
• Awards for Programs that Enhance Learning
• Awards for Teaching Excellence
• Prime Minister's Award for Australian University Teacher of the Year
• Career Achievement Award
