Project Outcome

This project is designed to identify, develop and disseminate successful teaching and learning strategies and professional development strategies for increasing the profile of intercultural learning. Sustainable capability throughout Business Faculties is emphasised by embedding these strategies in the work of academic leaders, student services managers, professional developers, academic staff and students.

Project Methodology

The project will achieve this by incorporating a range of strategies to ensure quality outcomes and highlevel strategic support for faculty implementation of those outcomes throughout ustralian Business education. The Teaching and Learning Network of the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) will be invited to participate as part of the Reference Group. The four artner applicants are members already. The project will be built on an existing framework for the development of intercultural competence in Business students, teaching and student services staff, academic developers and academic leaders. Successful professional development and teaching strategies will be identified for each of these levels, adapted and embedded in a series of pilot programs. Particular attention will be paid to raising the profile of intercultural learning and competence among leaders in Business-related disciplines, notably through a series of working seminars in each state with ABDC network members and invited high-level representatives and academic developers.
