2020 First and Further Year Experience Grants

Released Dec 10, 2019

FFYE grants are central to the FFYE strategy directly targeting student transition within and across subjects within undergraduate degree programs and first year of post graduate programs. The curriculum practice is guided by Transition Pedagogy and the six curriculum principles (Kift, 2009), the effective teaching strategies for LSES cohorts (Devlin et al, 2012) and integrated curriculum and co-curricular practices to best suit student diversity (Devlin and O’Shea 2011).

We are pleased to announce another round of FFYE grants for 2020. The focus for 2020 is Transition (in, through and out) as part of the LX.Transformation whole course approach.

Students experience a degree, not a subject

 

FFYE grants are available for:

  • Subject coordinators (and teams) teaching core transition subjects (degree and majors) - –Transition in, through and out (UG) and Transition in (PG)
  • Amounts of up to $4,000 for projects aimed at implementing transition pedagogies in the curriculum
  • Part of whole of course approach to transition —
