Philosophically, when I think of excellence in teaching, it is much more than imparting information or creating knowledge. Being a teacher is a privileged position where the primary responsibility is one of facilitator of learning. I believe that excellence in teaching should make a profound difference in the learner and the way they view the world. To me, the quality of learning is high when students show intellectual,emotional and ethical growth, and teaching is excellent when it fosters that growth.
I believe research, innovation and good quality evidence-based midwifery practice are pivotal to the well-being of mothers and young families. At UTS, the midwifery academic team teach in a practice-oriented education model and we use cutting edge technology to ensure graduates are work-ready and confident in their discipline.
Providing midwifery students with the tools to work in a fast-paced, dynamic and, at times, intense environment, the UTS midwifery academics ensure students are also able to care for themselves in this space.
