Foundations of Learning and Teaching Program

Program dates
Foundations of Learning and Teaching programs will run continuously in 2008. Each session, however, will be subject to sufficient numbers.

**Information for new sessional staff **
Modules 1 to 3 are a requirement for all new sessional staff at Curtin. In support of this initiative, the Office of Teaching and Learning will reimburse schools for the sessional payments to staff for attendance at the first three Modules.
Recently appointed academic staff are also encouraged to undertake these modules at no cost to the individual or school.

Online registration
Booking for the program is available through the online booking system.
