Macquarie University values excellence in learning and teaching. Staff are encouraged to apply for awards at the faculty, university and national level. The Provost's Office provides administrative procedures and guidelines.

Listen to some of Macquarie's award winners talk about their teaching and how they engage students:

• Teachers as Learners - Dr Cynthia Townley
• Blogs - Jenny Nicholls

The thoughts and reflections of colleagues in the following videos would also be useful in thinking about how to frame evidence for a promotion application.

The resource was funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC). It has been initiated by Trudy Ambler, videos created by Chris Lavina and designed by Michael Catabay in the Learning and Teaching Centre, Macquarie University.

We are grateful to Dr. Michael Cavanagh, Ms. Jenny Nicholls, Dr. Mitch Parsell and Dr. Theresa Winchester-Seeto who agreed to be videoed, and willingly shared their experiences of developing successful applications for a Macquarie University Teaching Award.
