Proposals due by December 20, 2023 at 4pm CT

You are invited to share your teaching practices, especially as they relate to meaningful and inclusive learning experiences for learners.

Presentations at the Provost Summit will be categorized into the following three tracks:

• Assessment Practices: Share assessment data, strategies, and/or tools that inform your practices in and out of the classroom space.
• Inclusive Pedagogy Practices: Share strategies and examples of inclusive pedagogy in-action.
• Innovative Teaching Practices: Share innovative approaches to teaching that engage learners in dynamic ways.

Presentations at the Provost Summit will occur in one of two formats:

Individual Paper Presentation: A single-presenter format. When submitting, you have the option of selecting a 15-minute, 30-minute, or 45-minute time slot. If you select 15-minutes or 30-minutes you will be grouped in a panel of presenters talking about similar topics by the event organizers. If you select 45 minutes for your topic you will present on your own. No matter the timeframe you choose, you would prepare your content individually.

Full Panel Presentation: A multiple-presenter format that consists of a session chair and 3-4 individually titled papers that are thematically connected. An organizer assembles the presenters and submits the complete panel. Panels will be slated into 45-minute slots.
