1990 and then as a lecturer in 1991. She was Deputy Head of School from 1997 to 1999, and, after
serving as Professor of Social Psychology and Head of School from 2000 to 2005, was appointed
Executive Dean, Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences in January 2006. In February 2007,
Professor Terry accepted an appointment to a half-time role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and

from 1 January 2009.
Her primary research interests are in the areas of attitudes, social influence, persuasion, group
processes, and intergroup relations. She also has applied research interests in organisational and
health psychology. She has published widely in these areas, and is co-editor of "The theory of
reasoned action: Its application to AIDS-preventive behaviour" (1993), "Attitudes, behavior, and
social context: The role of group norms and group membership" (1999), and "Social identity
processes in organisational contexts" (2001).

Dr Carol Nicoll, Chief Commissioner, TEQSA
Biography
Dr Carol Nicoll is the inaugural Chief Commissioner of the Tertiary Education Quality and
Standards Agency and will administer the statutory body's new powers over some 190 providers
from January 2012. Nicoll has a wealth of experience in the education sector, including as a
secondary school teacher and university academic. Since joining the Commonwealth public service
in 1999 she has held positions as head of the team that developed the higher education reform
package, Our Universities: Backing Australia’s Future; manager of the Funding Branch in the
Higher Education Group; Minister-Counsellor for Education, Science and Training; Group Manager
of the Industry Skills Development Group; and Group Manager of National Education System
Group in the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and more recently
the CEO of the Australian Learning and Teaching Council.
The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) regulates and assures the quality of
Australia’s large, diverse and complex higher education sector. EQSA will undertake both
compliance assessments and quality assessments. Compliance assessments involve auditing a

particular provider’s compliance against the Threshold Standards for registration as a higher
education provider. Quality assessments can either be an assessment of the quality of an
individual provider or a review of an issue across a number of providers (a thematic review).
ALTC projects
Identification of indicators and measures of impact on teacher preparation programs in HE (ALTC
strategic priority project) Reported by Denise Chalmers and Sue Stony.
The TPP Effectiveness Indicator Framework is intended to be one tool to assist academic
developers to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of their teacher preparation programs, to
understand the factors influencing the effectiveness of such programs on teacher behaviours,
student approaches to learning and institutional culture, and to enhance sector-wide
understanding of the different purposes and impacts of different types of teacher preparation
programs (TPPs). It is not intended that all indicators be addressed, but rather that academic
developers select those of particular interest, identify date which will provide evidence of the
indicator and systematically collect and analyse the relevant data over time.
A Teaching Preparation Program (TPP) Effectiveness indicator Framework (Draft) has been
developed and was presented to the academic development community at a workshop following
the HERDSA 2011 Conference for discussion and feedback. The revised Framework is now ready
for trial. Eight teams have nominated to participate in the trial which will occur between October
and December 2011.
The session will focus on the revised framework and the trial experiences and materials
