OLT Awards for Teaching Excellence

Teaching Awards celebrate a group of the nation’s most outstanding university teachers in their fields. Teaching Awards give recognition to teachers (individuals and teams) renowned for the excellence of their teaching, who have outstanding presentation skills and who have made a broad and deep contribution to enhancing the quality of learning and teaching in higher education.

There are eight categories of Teaching Awards: five discipline categories, the Neville Bonner Award for Indigenous Education, an early career category and an annual priority area. The Priority Area for 2012 is: Teaching a diverse student body.  Up to 16 Awards are made nationally.
