Program Priorities
There are three priorities for funding in 2012:
- Institutional leadership to enhance learning and teaching through leadership capacity-building at the institutional level
- Disciplinary and cross-disciplinary leadership to enhance learning and teaching through leadership capacity-building in discipline structures, communities of practice and cross-disciplinary networks.
- Consolidating leadership by building on the outcomes of projects funded in earlier years under the Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program.
