CAPTION Presented as part of the webinar ‘Innovative excellence programs for universities and research centres’ Discussion facilitator Paul Nunesdea, Architecting Collaboration
How does an innovative early career teacher in higher education create graduates with high employability?
In this webinar, Dr Peter Mellalieu explores the opportunity for early career teachers to distinguish their teaching approach from the conventional ‘talk and chalk’ methods they may themselves have experienced in their university studies. He suggests that the graduate capabilities that will last a graduate for their lifetime are hard to teach (Geertshuis & Lewis, 2020. Typical capabilities include cultural competency, principled leadership and interdependent team working. He remarks that students have a misguided overassessment of these capabilities when compared with employers’ assessments of recent graduates (Collins, 2022).
