Building teacher capability: Teaching Excellence at Navitas domains

Building teacher capability is essential to enhance the student learning experience. At Navitas, we aim to have teachers with a range of capabilities and who embrace learning and teaching challenges and are responsive to changes in the education environment. Teaching Excellence at Navitas (TEN) is a strategic and innovative approach to the delivery and management of academic staff’s professional development, offering online modules to Navitas academic staff globally. The modules are designed with a focus on contemporary teaching approaches, strategies and effective use of learning technologies, and aligned to the Higher Education Standards Framework.

In addition to building teaching capability, TEN offers a means to benchmark, evidence performance, progress and impact as appropriate across the diversity of learning and teaching contexts at Navitas colleges. Recognition can be achieved through digital badges and through Advance Higher Education (Advance HE) Fellowship.

TEN domains

TEN comprises specific knowledge, skills and applications which contribute to teaching excellence across seven independent domains. Each module is aligned to the Capability Framework and each capability is mapped to one of the seven domains in TEN below.

  1. Designing and Planning Curriculum
  2. Facilitating Student Learning
  3. Optimising Digital Technologies
  4. Enhancing Assessment and Feedback
  5. Enhancing the Student Experience
  6. Reflecting on Teaching Practice
  7. Engaging in Scholarship of Learning and Teaching

TEN Delivery Strategy

The modules are flexible, with each module consisting of approximately three to five hours of learning that can be completed asynchronously. Each professional development module is designed to support teaching staff in the delivery of high-quality student learning experiences.
