Quality Teaching Academy – Laureate Professor Jenny Gore, Dr Sally Patfield and Dr Matthew Harper
- The academics in the School of Education had were privileged to have Jenny, Sally and Matt present and workshop the Quality Teaching Framework. This provided staff with a different perspective on their teaching, assessment and feedback. I believe many people enjoyed the opportunity to mix with their peers, tax their brains and learn from the best (Jenny received $17.5m in funding from 2019 to 2023 to implement this project – very impressive). See attached photos of Jenny, and Sally, Matt and Sue.
