About the TeachWell Framework
Teaching well enables greater success for all our students, and supports them to thrive and excel. At its heart is the centrality of whanaungatanga, the reciprocal relationship between teacher and students in ways that both learn.
The TeachWell Framework promotes a high-quality student experience by outlining the fundamental capabilities that teachers need in order to successfully implement the signature pedagogical practices, outlined in our curriculum framework. It supports the University’s ambition to create a high-quality learning experience for our students and to describe capabilities that are considered reasonable for all university teachers to be able to achieve. The Framework was developed in discussion with Faculty representatives and was approved by Senate in July 2019.
