Teaching expectations for academic staff

As a ‘teaching excellence’ university, the DVC Academic Portfolio developed the Federation University Teaching expectations for academic staff as a tool to support building, sustaining and demonstrating teaching excellence. The purpose of these standards is to support academic teaching staff with developing and demonstrating quality teaching environments and maximise student learning and engagement.
