The Faculty of Education operates across three campuses - Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula. It functions as a single operating unit, with the dean as the chief executive officer. Major responsibilities are delegated through the dean to the principal officers of the faculty. The principal officers are the:
Students wishing to make appointments
with any of these officers are able to do so at short notice, and inquiries
should be directed to their offices.
Since its inception, the faculty has taken pride in the collegiate nature of
the relationship between its staff and students. This special relationship has
meant that only rarely do academic problems arise that cannot be handled at the
source, between the individual student and the academic member of staff.
Furthermore, the strong representation of students on most of the main boards
and committees which operate within the structural organisation of the faculty
also serves to enrich the bonds between staff and students.
The major business of the faculty is discussed by the faculty board. The
faculty board consists of the dean as chair; professors of the faculty;
academic staff representatives from each campus of the faculty; representatives
from the external community, other faculties and the education alumni; and a
student representative from each campus of the faculty. The board meets on five
occasions throughout the year and receives recommendations from faculty level
committees for the board's approval and referral to the university's Education
Committee, Academic Board and Council.
