Recognition of Teaching Excellence

In 2003, the Centre for International Health was recognised for their quality courses and delivery by being awarded the Excellence and Innovation in Teaching Award.

Our continued commitment to quality education was again recognised in 2006 with a second Curtin Excellence and Innovation in Teaching accolade, under the category of Awards for Programs that Enhance Learning. As a result, the Centre was nominated by Curtin as a candidate for the National Carrick Australian Awards for University Teaching.

The Minister for Education, Science and Training, the Hon Julie Bishop MP, has congratulated the country’s most outstanding university teachers in announcing the 2007 Carrick Awards for Programmes that Enhance Learning of which CIH was a recipient.

The Centre for International Health (CIH) has been recognised for demonstrating a consistently outstanding performance in teaching and learning, and our student feedback (along with other measures) indicated that we exhibit best practice in distance education. The four criteria in which we excelled were:

• Distinctiveness, coherence and clarity of purpose
• Influence on student learning and student engagement
• Breadth of impact
• Concern for equity and diversity

"The Carrick Awards acknowledge the vital contribution made by individuals and teams to the quality of student learning, from undergraduate teaching to research supervision," Minister Bishop said. "The Awards provide recognition and support to a range of teachers acknowledged by their colleagues as making an outstanding difference to the learning experiences of their students."
