Reward and Recognition
The recognition of teaching excellence helps to drive innovation in teaching and learning across the higher education sector in Australia and internationally.
Western is committed to recognising teaching excellence through its Teaching Excellence Awards, which are held annually, with winners announced in December. Western, via Learning Futures, also provides support for candidates applying for the Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT).
On this page you will find information and a range of resources relating to reward and recognition that you can use to help plan your reward and recognition journey.
