Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program Priorities The Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program has several different strands focused at the national, institutional, discipline-based and specific project levels. It will also have some emphasis on ensuring appropriate attention to models of leadership that enhance community partnering (including with professional communities), and that contribute effectively to institutional and community recognition of the fundamental importance of teaching in higher education. The ALTC has identified the need for systematic, structured support for academic leadership as a key focus for its activities in 2008-12. Evidence suggests that leadership capacity-building in higher education is uneven across the sector, and that many academic leaders rely too much on learning on the job. By contrast, the ALTC’s position is that academic leadership is a highly specialised and professional activity. The ALTC has therefore established a program focused on Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching as one of three programs under the umbrella of the Grants Scheme. Through this Program, the ALTC will provide grants to support projects that build leadership capacity in ways consistent with the promotion and enhancement of learning and teaching in contemporary higher education, and which reflect the ALTC’s values of excellence, inclusiveness, diversity and collaboration, and its commitment to long-term, systemic change. All activities within the program will be underpinned by a scholarly and evidence-based approach, building actively on initiatives and ideas emerging both within Australia and internationally. The funding priorities for 2009 are:
