Adelaide Education Academy

The Adelaide Education Academy (AEA) was established in 2016 with the goals of supporting, promoting and recognising teaching excellence across the ³ÉÈË´óƬ.

Over the past eight years, the Academy has made significant contributions to the University and provided members with a strong community of dedicated teachers to network and share practice with. Members actively participate on a number of advisory boards and committeesÌýsupporting and promoting excellence in teaching and learning and the development of educational skills of Academy members.
