Using the Teaching Capability Framework to support professional learning
Professional learning at Deakin is designed to provide opportunities for staff to engage with activities, obtain knowledge and develop values articulated in the Teaching Capability Framework.
We know that teaching teams develop their teaching capability over time, through a range of activities, both formal and informal. We recognise that teaching teams are professionals in the higher education field, experts in their own disciplines, and autonomous in their learning.
