CLPD News & Events

ERGA is looking for staff interested in cross-disciplinary collaboration on education research projects. If you are intersted in being part of this new venture please fill out an information sheet located at http://snipurl.com/research_erga.

Once sufficient responses have been collected, we will organise some events to coordinate the groups and ensure that progress is made.

We are NOT just looking for research leaders (although we definitely do need them). Initially we are looking at participation and enthusiasm as key attributes. So if you haven't done much education research, this is a great opportunity for you to get involved in groups that we hope will produce publications and obtain research grants.

With the 2009 teaching award, grant and fellowship round drawing to an end, it is time to begin thinking about next year. Accordingly, the Teaching Awards and Grants Office is now requesting expressions of interest from individuals who would like to participate in any of the following activities with deadlines during the first half of academic year 2010.

The awards, grants and fellowships are all offered by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC).

ALTC Awards Information

• Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning
• Awards for Programs that Enhance Learning (Student Support)
• Awards for Teaching Excellence

ALTC Grants Information

• Competitive Grants
• Leadership Program
• Priority Projects

ALTC Fellowships Information

• National Teaching Fellowships

Particpants lodging an expression of interest will receive assistance from the Teaching Awards and Grants Office to help them develop their application.

Please email Barbara Brougham by Monday 30 November 2009 indicating which awards or grants interest you most or if you would like to apply for a fellowship.

For more information please contact Barbara on 37032 or (mobile) 0437 649 976.
