December 2019: Reflecting on the UNSW Scientia Education Academy: A Case Study for Inspiring Educational Excellence
Universities around the world are facing challenges of how to promote, recognise, and reward educational excellence. In this article, we present a reflection on the Scientia Education Academy at UNSW Sydney (University of New South Wales, Australia), examining its creation, goals, and activities. The resultant emergent learning and understandings add to the literature of alternative, comparative, and complementary perspectives on teaching academies in the higher education landscape. We hope that the article will help to inform higher education institutions who may be considering ways of promoting, recognising, and rewarding educational excellence through the design, creation, and operation of an appropriate academy.
