[Foundations] Question re: policy and procedures for folks doingFoundations

[Caroline Cottman]

Hello Tai
This year is a new era for QUT - the Graduate Certificate in Academic Practice is new and mandated for the Early Career (ECARD) appointments.
There is now no  separate Foundations  program.
There may be the possibility for other QUT academic development programs to articulate towards credit in the Grad Cert.AP.
This is certainly an interesting topic and the pathways seem to be varied and complex.
Be keen to see the responses that emerge from your question.  This may well be a useful element for the 2011 Colloquium
 Cheers
 Caroline

Hi Tai,
Here are the University of Canberra responses to your questions.

We have documented the requirement in policy and it is available in on the web in our policy database (https://guard.canberra.edu.au/policy/policy.php?pol_id=3053).
The policy relates to staff new to the University with less than two years tertiary teaching experience.
Staff are required to complete the foundations program within the first two years of their employment. The program is completed once.

Looking forward to hearing with others do.
Cheers
Coralie

Hi folks,

Quick query: La Trobe's planning to renew some of its policies and procedures re: its Foundations Program. Can I get a quick feel for the following? Do any of your universities:

- document the compulsory aspect of completing Foundations in academic policy (ie, other than a letter of offer)?
- do those policies relate to existing staff and/or just new appointments
- do those programs have an expiry period? For eg, folks do it again after a set number of years.

Feel free to email off line t.peseta at latrobe.edu.au<mailto:t.peseta at latrobe.edu.au>. Appreciate your time.



Cheers, Tai
