Mission Statement

To promote and advance learning and teaching in Australian higher education

Objectives

The ALTC for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education will:

  1. promote and support strategic change in higher education institutions for the enhancement of learning and teaching, including curriculum development and assessment;
  2. raise the profile and encourage recognition of the fundamental importance of teaching in higher education institutions and in the general community;
  3. foster and acknowledge excellent teaching in higher education;
  4. develop effective mechanisms for the identification, development, dissemination and embedding of good individual and institutional practice in learning and teaching in Australian higher education;
  5. develop and support reciprocal national and international arrangements for the purpose of sharing and benchmarking learning and teaching processes; and
  6. identify learning and teaching issues that impact on the Australian higher education system and facilitate national approaches to address these and other emerging issues.

Values

  • Inclusiveness - by assisting the development of networks and communities which support higher education staff who have a direct impact on the advancement of learning and teaching.
  • Long-term change - through a focus on systemic change.
  • Diversity - by recognising and valuing institutional and discipline differences and similarities.
  • Collaboration - through the programs it funds and in its work practices.
  • Excellence - through the recognition of quality in its programs and awards and its encouragement of higher education institution's recognition of quality teaching and learning.
