Arts Teaching Innovation (ATI) was established in 2018 to support excellence and innovation in teaching and learning across the Faculty of Arts.
The ATI team is committed to supporting academic career development, enabling high student engagement, ensuring our curriculum reflects current research and embedding best teaching practice.
We work one-on-one with teaching staff in the Faculty of Arts to help our academic staff build skills, identify ways to improve their students’ learning experience, or to implement change at a subject or whole-of-program level.
Where possible, ATI also supports academic staff and teaching associates who wish to undertake research in areas of humanities, social sciences, and languages teaching.

Through this program international students are paired with peers travelling to international destinations as part of their study to develop linguistic, cultural and contextual skills.
