Engaged Teaching Project

Welcome to the Engaged Teaching resources and events page!

Here you will find information about the Engaged Teaching Project and related resources.

The Engaged Teaching Project is one of WSU's newest Transformation Initiatives, dedicated to enhancing our teaching culture and elevating the student experience. With a focus on revitalising our teaching practices, this initiative is fuelled by our commitment to ensuring students have a positive and engaging learning journey at WSU.

Our Approach: The ETP spans across all Schools and classrooms, empowering program leaders and teaching staff to review and rejuvenate teaching models and pedagogic practices. Teams will collaborate with Student Partners, utilising real data to identify and integrate pivotal 'moments that matter' into student learning activities, thereby enhancing retention and success.

Program-Level Outcomes will include:

• Mapping assessment and skills development across a program of study.
• Designing and implementing innovative engagement practices at critical program junctures.
• Establishing a consistent support and communications strategy for program students.
• Accessing relevant professional learning opportunities tailored to program needs.
• Fostering a culture of continuous improvement through collaborative, data-informed pedagogic review and renewal.

By embedding the outcomes of the Engaged Teaching Project into our existing processes and systems, we will ensure rapid implementation and sustainable change. It's more than just adopting new teaching methods – we're seamlessly integrating transformative changes throughout our educational ecosystem.

In essence, the Engaged Teaching Project heralds a fundamental shift in how we approach teaching and learning, not only at WSU but beyond. Join us on this transformative journey as we strive to elevate student experiences and reshape the future of education.
