Faculties will be invited to endorse teaching staff prior to the application process. Suitable applicants will have strong SELT results over several years, a level of leadership in teaching, a track record in scholarly practice/innovation in teaching (e.g. publications, committee leadership, projects) and endorsement from the senior staff in the faculty. They can receive support from LTC as they prepare their award application.
All applications are assessed by the ACU Awards and Grants Committee, chaired by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Innovation).
