Description

Web Desc
International education is experiencing significant change, with institutions facing increased expectations around academic integrity, student outcomes, and curriculum relevance. These pressures are reshaping how teaching and learning leaders and practitioners understand international student success, not only in terms of policy and compliance, but in how change is experienced across institutions. This interactive online forum provides an opportunity for IEAA members and guests to reflect on the evolving operating environment for international teaching and learning. The session will explore how expectations are unfolding in practice, recognising that transformation is not simply a matter of resistance or fatigue, but often involves uncertainty, competing priorities, and differing perspectives across academic, professional, and leadership roles. The discussion will also consider what these evolving expectations mean for the global classroom, and how domestic and international students learn together in increasingly diverse settings. Through facilitated discussion and small-group engagement, participants will surface the tensions and lived experiences shaping institutional responses, supporting relational understanding and shared sense-making across the sector. Audience This webinar will prove useful for: Academic leaders and faculty in international education Learning and teaching practitioners Professional staff supporting international student learning Policy and sector stakeholders Outcomes This webinar aims to help participants: Develop a shared understanding of the pressures shaping international teaching and learning Recognise the multiple perspectives and lived experiences influencing institutional change Identify key tensions and areas of uncertainty emerging across the sector Contribute insights that inform ongoing Teaching and Learning Network priorities and the September Forum This event is led by IEAA’s Teaching & Learning Network.
