Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program Grants

The Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) in the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), has about $1M to hand out in grants for the Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program.

Through the Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program, the Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) provides grants for projects that build leadership capacity in ways consistent with the promotion and enhancement of learning and teaching in contemporary higher education, and which reflect the values of excellence, inclusiveness, diversity and collaboration, and its commitment to long-term, systemic change.

Program priorities

There are three priorities for funding in 2012:

1. Institutional leadership to enhance learning and teaching through leadership capacity-building at the institutional level.

2. Disciplinary and cross-disciplinary leadership to enhance learning and teaching through leadership capacity-building in discipline structures, communities of practice and cross-disciplinary networks.

3. Consolidating leadership by building on the outcomes of projects funded in earlier years under the Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program.

Applications for Seed Projects will also be accepted in this program. Seed Projects are pilot projects which test and evaluate an original idea. Original ideas are understood to be any which have not already been funded by one of the OLT's predecessor organisations, or by an institution. Applications can address any of the priorities in this program, or in the Innovation and Development Program, or any other topic. ...
