The University of Tasmania has a number of teaching awards to recognise those staff making valuable contributions to learning and teaching excellence at the institution. Through a ‘pathways’ approach to recognition, the UTAS Teaching Award Program offers a number of opportunities for academic and professional staff to be acknowledged for their teaching contributions, and to be rewarded for their ongoing commitment to professional learning and practice in the learning and teaching domain.
