It's a place of real opportunity, where the values of Pono, Tika and Aroha shape how talented, progressive people work together – and you'll feel that in the culture, in the collaboration and in the difference the work makes for students, communities and the world.
Our community is stronger because of the role Te Tiriti plays in how we operate, and because Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership and contribution are central to who we are. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs.
The Office of Learning, Teaching and Educational Design (LTED) is a central university service. The team supports strategic priorities in learning and teaching at AUT. Our philosophy is to support staff to do as much for themselves as they can, working as their partner in learning, offering them choice, encouraging their leadership, and modelling the AUT values of tika, pono and aroha.
This is reflected in LTED’s whakatauki: Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu | Adorn the bird with feathers so it may soar.
