A message from the Executive Dean Faculty of Education and Arts Professor Mary Ryan: The Faculty of Education and Arts is dedicated to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.
Two recent initiatives, the All Points to Teaching program and the Centre for Regional Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences are prime examples of our commitment to meeting community needs through innovative education and research.
The All Points to Teaching (APTT) program is a testament to FEA's drive and commitment to building opportunities for the communities we serve. This innovative initiative aims to increase access to fully funded undergraduate and postgraduate teaching degrees, providing a unique pathway into the teaching profession.
Following a highly competitive process, FEA was awarded over $11.6 million dollars from the Federal Government to award 285 scholarships to students across New South Wales and Queensland, enabling them to undertake a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) or a Master of Teaching (Secondary) while working in schools. This unique employment-based program is designed to help alleviate the ongoing national teacher shortage, particularly in underserved communities and in high-demand disciplines.
The APTT multi-sector program is designed around an extensive, schools and support hub model across Queensland and New South Wales, focusing on schools with low socio-educational advantage and staffing challenges. By providing comprehensive support through our institutes and centres and the expertise within the National School of Education, we will ensure participants have the wraparound support, skills and knowledge they need to succeed as teachers.
The program will commence next year and run through to 2031. Students will receive intensive professional learning in key areas, including classroom management, literacy support, artificial intelligence, learner diversity and Indigenous culture.
The Centre for Regional Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (RHASS), based at our Ballarat Campus, is a significant milestone in our efforts to provide new educational opportunities for students in regional areas. Led by Associate Professor Benjamin Mountford, the centre was officially launched on Saturday 12 October.
The launch event featured a keynote address by renowned First Nations artist and Wadawurrung woman Dr. Deanne Gilson, who shared her inspiring stories and insights into the importance of cultural heritage and community engagement. The event showcased the centre's commitment to regional arts industry research partnerships and engagement, and offering enrichment opportunities for postgraduate researchers and alumni.
By collaborating with regional arts organisations, we aim to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing the arts sector in these areas to inform policy and practice and provide professional development opportunities for artists and arts administrators.
The centre will also play a pivotal role in supporting PhD research in the humanities and social sciences, offering scholarships and mentorship opportunities to attract and retain talented researchers.
