It is an exciting time to be connected with the UTAS Faculty
of Education. We are expanding our international connections,
strengthening our campus-distinctive courses, integrating
Teaching and Learning into logical groupings, striving continually
to improve our course delivery and increasing our research
activity to contribute to areas of critical educational and
social need.
The Faculty of Education at UTAS extends its linkages with
all States of Australia, the Asia Pacific, Europe and the
United States of America. Through study abroad, student exchanges
and carefully targeted professional placements, our students
have opportunities to live, work and study within other cultures,
and our staff collaborate with colleagues from across the
world. Through relevant theoretical study and practical opportunities,
graduates are prepared to take up roles as professional educators
in environments ranging from local urban and rural schools
to remote indigenous settings across Australia, or many international
locations.
Graduates are additionally in possession of generic skills
and attributes which render them employable in non-teaching
positions in industry or government offices for example, should
they seek non-traditional careers.
While staffing positions are advertised at appropriate times,
I invite colleagues who may be reading this message to make
contact with me should they be seeking additional information
about the Faculty's growth and development.
Tasmania is a wonderful place in which to study, work, research
and live. The natural environment exposes us to beauty every
day. Our lifestyle in this Island State is said to be relaxed,
with a slower pace. In the Faculty, surrounded by Tasmania's
natural beauty, you will find energy, vitality, enthusiasm
and excitement about the future. We seek staff and students
who share these qualities to help us create that future together.
I welcome you to the Faculty of Education
Professor Ian Hay
Dean
