Adelaide Education Academy
The Adelaide Education Academy was established in 2016 with the goals of supporting, promoting and recognising teaching excellence across the University of Adelaide.
The University of Adelaide values excellence in all aspects of the academic endeavour.
Adelaide Education Academy membership is by application only, with one admission held at the end of each year.
Once approved, membership supports additional flexibility for staff who wish to allocate more of their time and efforts to teaching without damaging their career progression or diminishing their contribution to our overall strategic goals.
Members are able to access a range of exclusive activities including visiting guest speakers, workshops, and discussions on a variety of topics such as developing a teaching philosophy, developing a curriculum, e-learning, and teaching strategy.
Members can access the AEA Canvas Site to view the latest announcements and communications, or to communicate with other members.
