Membership of the Adelaide Education Academy is by application only. 

Staff who are judged to meet the criteria for teaching excellence have the option of joining under two membership categories.

Full member

Full members of the Academy are one of the following:

• Continuing academic staff at Levels B-E,  with a willingness to commit 61% to 90% of their time to teaching and teaching related duties (including scholarship).  This condition requires formal approval from your Head of School and Executive Dean.  Your employment contract may then need to be altered to demonstrate you have formally agreed to this workload.

Membership must be formally endorsed by the applicants Line Manager/ Head of School and Executive Dean. 

Affiliate member

Affiliate members of the Academy are one of the following:

• Continuing academic staff appointed at Level A, with a willingness to commit 61% to 90% of their time to teaching and teaching related duties (including scholarship);
• Scholarly Teaching Fellows appointed at Level A or Level B, who commit up to 75% of their workload to teaching and teaching related duties (in accordance with the Enterprise Agreement);
• Fixed term academic staff, with a willingness to commit 61% to 90% and teaching related duties in their contract of employment, and who, at the time of application have at least 6 months remaining of their contract of employment; 
• Continuing academic staff on other workload allocations.

An affiliate member is eligible to participate in Academy activities but does not have access to the Learning and Teaching Advancement Grants (LTAG) available to full members.

The EOI application must receive endorsement from the applicants Line Manager.

Expressions of interest are now open for staff wishing to become Full or Affiliate members of the Adelaide Education Academy.

Members of the AEA are considered to demonstrate outstanding university teaching.  As such, members are required to provide evidence of their teaching excellence, and are asked about their teaching philosophy and to consider how they believe their membership will enhance the Academy.

This information is to be provided in the Expression of Interest (EOI) form.

Staff are encouraged to reach out to AEA members within their school or faculty for advice on completing the EOI form.

Full membership

To apply for full membership staff are required to complete the application form, and obtain written approval from both their Head of School/Line Manager and your Executive Dean (as their employment contract may need to be altered).

Each question should be considered. Should you require guidance around the collection of evidence or any other aspect of the EOI process please contact AEA Co-Chair's Dr Beth Loveys or A/Prof Peter Strelan.

Affiliate membership

To apply for affiliate membership staff are required to complete the application form, and obtain written endorsement from a Line Manager.

Once expressions of interested have been received, they are presented to the AEA Executive group who evaluate the evidence of teaching excellence.

The Executive then present their recommendations to the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Student Learning) and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) who then either approve induction, or provide guidance and support to unsuccessful applicants.

Expressions of interest for 2023 induction have now closed.

For the purpose of workload allocation teaching and teaching related duties include:

• all time spent on program and course delivery, face to face or online
• program coordination,
• course preparation,
• marking,
• providing student feedback
• participation in peer evaluation, program development and review, or teaching innovation leadership
• chairing of communities of Learning and Teaching related practice.
• HDR supervision, provided the Education Specialist remains eligible as an HDR supervisor, as per the University of Adelaide supervisor register (consistent with our Academic promotion procedure)
• scholarship

Duties not included:

•  teaching related research,
• discipline/subject research
• usual administrative responsibilities for all teaching staff such as teaching committee membership.

For Education Specialists, the relevant Faculty Role Statement will apply.

AEA membership indicates University recognition of elite teaching and scholarship.
