Charles Sturt establishes Teaching Academy

The Teaching Academy was designed and established in response to the academic community’s needs of learning and teaching staff at Charles Sturt University. It is based on a hub-and-spoke model, with centralised support provided by the Division of Learning and Teaching. The Sub Dean (Academic Development) serves as the Director of the Academy and leads a small team that coordinates and drives its objectives. The Academy employs an inclusive and sustainable approach to support, acknowledge and advance education at Charles Sturt.

The Teaching Academy helps our institution to be a university that recognises, rewards and values excellent teaching. It aims to enhance scholarly activity, leading to greater research grant success and both national and international teaching awards. The Academy is committed to embodying the university’s values, standards and principles as guiding benchmarks for best practice. It works collaboratively with strategic partners across the university to ensure that it is fully integrated to support staff, drive improvement in academic quality and advance staff careers.
