About the faculty
The Faculty of Education is committed to innovative research and teaching
that takes seriously the global/local interface of all the activities of a
public university. The focus of our work is learning and development - the
learning and development of individuals of all ages, and of organisations and
communities.
Our mission is to contribute to the public interest through high-quality and
ethical teaching, research and community service. To this end, we will create
and pursue opportunities that strengthen and sustain a vibrant intellectual
community.
Our vision is of:
- graduates who are capable, ethical citizens of the world, distinguished by
their knowledge, intellectual engagement and professional skill, and their
innovation and flexibility
- research practice and scholarly output that is recognised locally and
internationally for its originality, rigour and impartiality, and for providing
advice and services that inform and lead professional practice, public debate
and policy, and community action
- an intellectual, social, physical and web environment that challenges,
enthuses and supports all to learn and excel and which sustains productive
working relations characterised by parity of respect, contribution and
recognition.
The Faculty of Education is located on three Australian
campuses - Clayton, Peninsula and Gippsland - and also teaches in Singapore,
attracting students from throughout Australia and from more than 50 countries.
