Call for Proposals: 2027 Provost’s Showcase of Scholarly Teaching
This message has been approved by Leslie Richardson, Director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching, for distribution to students, faculty and staff.
Friday, April 9, 2027 | Time: TBD | Turnbull Conference Center | More details on our website
The fourth annual Provost’s Showcase of Scholarly Teaching, hosted by the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT), is a celebration of the inspiring, innovative, and evidence-informed teaching that makes FSU the best place to learn. Across the university, faculty and TAs have been turning their scholarly attention to teaching, engaging in inquiry and reflection, and exploring how different teaching methods affect students’ learning, experiences, and success. This showcase is an opportunity to present and discuss your exciting and evidence-informed teaching practices.
If you have been developing teaching approaches or strategies that you would like to share with the larger campus community, we hope you will submit a proposal for a poster presentation. Or if you have a great question you’ve been exploring—for example, one about teaching effectiveness, student engagement, or recent innovations in teaching—we hope you will consider facilitating a roundtable discussion, where you can discuss the question with interested colleagues. If you would like to share a teaching strategy, a useful tool, or resources that audience members can readily adopt in their own teaching contexts, you can propose a 3-minute lightning talk. To learn about the specific requirements for each format, please visit the PSST web page.
If you have taught (i.e., have been an IOR) at FSU or the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, you are eligible to apply to present. If you have any questions, or if you’d like to discuss your project or idea for the Provost’s Showcase, feel free to contact us at pro-teaching@fsu.edu.
We also welcome offices/units who offer teaching and learning-related services to faculty or students to share information at special tables. If your office/unit would like to promote your services and resources by tabling at the PSST, please make a request by emailing pro-teaching@fsu.edu with the subject title: PSST Tabling Request.
