Teaching Fellowships


Teaching Fellowships are awarded to undertake discipline-based or inter-disciplinary fellowship activities that will promote excellence in learning and teaching.

Teaching Fellows will be prominent scholars and educators in their fields who are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the ALTC. They will nominate and undertake activities with the goal of significantly influencing the quality of learning and teaching within their institutions and beyond.

Teaching Fellows will be supported by a network of colleagues, including National Teaching Fellows, other Teaching Fellows and the recipients of Australian Awards for University Teaching.

Teaching Fellows will normally undertake fellowship activities within their home institutions over a period of one year. The fellowship will provide for full release from all or most academic activities for three months full-time work on fellowship activities. Outside of this period, Teaching Fellows will undertake fellowship activities with the support of their home institutions.

The maximum funding available for each Associate Fellowship is $100 000.

Objectives

Teaching Fellows will devise and undertake fellowship activities that promote and enhance learning and teaching in their institution(s) and discipline. To fulfill this objective, Teaching Fellows will:

  • Identify learning and teaching issues and facilitate an approach to addressing these issues;
  • Show leadership in promoting and enhancing learning and teaching;
  • Generate ideas for the development of learning and teaching in higher education through an expanded network from the ALTC;
  • Foster networks with recipients of Australian Awards for University Teaching; and with other Teaching Fellows and educators in higher education.
