Two subjects at the University of Melbourne allow students to explore the ideas within Sustainable Learning, with a focus on knowing every student as a unique learner. The units provide opportunities to explore and discuss implications for teaching that are related to the consideration of learners’ profiles of capabilities and how teachers facilitate the quality, depth and active nature of their learning

Transforming Education Internationally

There exists much incredible diversity of learners and we need to be excited by it and value it, and use it to enrich our teaching-learning relationships

All students can learn and are entitled to full-time teaching

Students who have disabilities or experience learning difficulties require flexible use of changes of intensity of learning opportunities and teaching strategies and this works best for all learners

Education prepares citizens for altering, refining and renewing ATRiUM capabilities and thus for whole of life functioning

Some students will learn despite the teaching, while others depend totally on the ‘teaching that matters’, i.e.,  Responsive Teaching for Sustainable Learning
