A...My apologies for coming late to this discussion. As I have read the posts, and have been thinking about the potential audience, I am wondering about the merits of some exploration of academic identity. How do our inductees see themselves - and what are their goals in terms of teaching as well as academics? I think this is becoming increasingly important as demands on teaching academics change. <br /><br />So, I would add a principle that we should allow the participants to reflect on their own identity/role/aspirations as a university teacher. This may also be helpful to them as they choose a relevant path to take through our material.Natalie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023940246684606253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322586570731041843.post-20444676837430455252016-09-24T19:39:08.573-07:002016-09-24T19:39:08.573-07:00I agree with the principles already identified so ...I agree with the principles already identified so far.<br /><br />Principles will cover the main elements that need to be overarching, yet generic enough to meet the needs of all users. <br /><br />My suggestion to limit the number of principles and keep the statements brief.<br /><br />Additional principles that may be relevant, if not already subsumed by the principles already identified?<br /><br />Evidenced-based practice<br />Collegiality<br />Resources that include exemplars<br />Central focus on the teacher academic motivations, e.g. career progression<br />Reflective practiceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963253820290765619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322586570731041843.post-34917211099103241322016-09-19T23:55:40.327-07:002016-09-19T23:55:40.327-07:00Hi Kym and Colleagues

Many of the academic teachers new to ACU in Melbourne who attended my recent workshops were employed by at least 2 other universities either in Melbourne, Ballarat or online teaching in another state.<br /><br />So I do agree that differentiation is important.<br /><br />BernieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677641603307257320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322586570731041843.post-1226506117048494662016-09-01T21:52:43.152-07:002016-09-01T21:52:43.152-07:00Dear Kym, I'm following this project with grea...Dear Kym, I'm following this project with great interest, thank you. <br /><br />Like Bernie I'm wondering about providing for social learning possibilities, and also about participants who need to do induction at several institutions (declaration: I have a side interest in micro-credentialling).<br /><br />Might need to differentiate the quick, strategic learning described in point 4 from deprecated 'surface' learning?<br /><br />With best wishes<br />PennyPenny JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444077853864629241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322586570731041843.post-29972160285247917092016-09-01T17:29:43.044-07:002016-09-01T17:29:43.044-07:00Dear Kym and colleagues,
