Dr. Amankwaa has more than 10 years teaching experience. He has taught Management and HR units at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels across other reputable Australian universities, including The University of Western Australia, Curtin University and Edith Cowan University. His teaching is grounded in student-centred and inclusive learning, where students actively engage in the co-creation of knowledge. His approach emphasises critical thinking, collaboration, and application of theory to practical contexts, preparing students for contemporary organisational environments. 

Albert has led and redesigned units across undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including large, multi-campus and multi-modal offerings. His curriculum design aligns learning outcomes, assessment, and teaching activities to support active participation and capability development, with a focus on communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These capabilities are central to developing graduates who can contribute effectively to productive, adaptive, and inclusive workplaces. He incorporates authentic, practice-based learning and industry-relevant assessment, ensuring that students apply knowledge to organisational challenges. His teaching supports diverse cohorts through flexible delivery across on-campus, online, and offshore contexts, contributing to inclusive access and student success.

Dr Amankwaa's work is informed by engagement with the scholarship of teaching and learning, including research on student engagement and higher education practice. This strengthens the integration between his research and teaching, ensuring curriculum design is evidence-based, supports student wellbeing, and responds to changing workforce and educational needs. Albert's teaching thus contributes to UTAS’ education transition by improving student experience, access, and success; advances the productivity transition by developing work-ready graduates aligned with industry needs; and supports the health transition by fostering inclusive, supportive learning environments that enhance student wellbeing.

Dr Amankwaa is an active member of the School Learning and Teaching Committee (SLTC), where he contributes evidence-based insights that support informed school-level decision-making and continuous improvement in curriculum review, assessment design, teaching innovation, quality assurance, and unit approvals. Drawing on cross-institutional experience, he contributes to a culture of teaching excellence and continuous improvement, influencing practice beyond individual teaching and supporting School governance.
