21C Transforming Teaching

Welcome to Badugulang

Badugulang, our centre for excellence in university teaching and learning was launched on 1 July 2021. You can see the launch and keynote address by Prof. Sally Kift here (opens in a new window).

Badugulang is a 21C initiative to further enhance our university community’s capability to deliver transformative and contemporary curriculum and teaching while also supporting recognition of staff contributions to teaching.

Badugulang is a place to share ideas, nurture excellence and celebrate teaching.

Badugulang, which is a Darug word for the “waterhole” will bring together expert and aspiring teaching and learning leaders, curriculum partners, academic, sessional and professional staff. It will support a culture where teaching knowledge is shared to empower Western’s confident, critical and expert teachers.
