Mentorship Program

CAMN & CAMC

The Curtin Academy Mentoring Scheme (CAMS) is facilitated by the Curtin Academy Mentoring team. They are responsible for managing the delivery of two mentoring schemes, the Curtin Academy Mentoring Circle (CAMC) and the Curtin Academy Mentoring Network (CAMN). 

CURTIN ACADEMY MENTORING CIRCLE (CAMC)

The focus of the CAMC is to support and advance learning and teaching initiatives and their innovations across the OneCurtin campus community.  These initiatives and innovations should be important to the advancement of strategic learning and teaching priorities for Curtin University which is outlined in relevant Strategic Plans.

​

A Curtin Academy Fellow leads the CAMC and the focus of each Circle will be a learning and teaching concept or strategy that is important to contributing knowledge in this space.  Once this focus is determined, a notification will be sent to academic staff at each OneCurtin Campus.  Each CAMC includes 4-5 Circles of 1-2 hours duration each. Participants receive the opportunity to engage with the Curtin Academy Fellows and develop their projects. In some years, there is seed grant funding available for successful projects.

​

The skill mix of the Curtin Academy Fellows, workloads, and priorities of the university and academic staff will dictate how many mentorship circles might be running throughout the year and whether seed grant funding is available. 

CAMC APPLICATION 

Any OneCurtin Staff member (teaching only academic and teaching and research academic) may register to participate in the circles as they will be online enabled.  Applicants should express an interest to join the CAMC by emailing Curtin Academy below.

CURTIN ACADEMY MENTORING NETWORK (CAMN)

The focus of this network is to assist academic staff to build their profile in teaching and learning nationally and internationally by developing new and exciting contributions to teaching and learning. As a result, the CAMN is a competitive mentorship program where eligible staff must apply via an expression of interest to receive this support. Academics at all levels – (teaching only and teaching and research roles) are encouraged to apply but must provide evidence that they are working on developing, or further enhancing, their national and international teaching and learning profile through innovation, leadership and the scholarship of learning and teaching. This national and international focus is consistent with the guidelines in the current Curtin University Academic Capability Framework, particularly at the Senior Lecturer level and above. The CAMN is not running in 2025.
