FSU's 2006 Distinguished Teacher Award

APPS Center for Teaching and Learning is working with the Provost and 2005-2006 University Teaching Award Winners to build an environment of teaching excellence at Florida State University. CTL will be sharing their strategies for effective teaching with you, their colleagues. We’ll be mining for transferable strategies that you too can use in your instruction.

The kickoff event to this collaboration was the Provost’s “Conversations on Teaching Luncheon” that honored the award winners and featured a discussion on teaching. The specific questions the Award Winners, CTL staff and University Administrators addressed were:

• What do you think good teaching is?
• What specifically do you take into consideration when planning a course?
• What was the greatest obstacle you had to overcome to become a good teacher?
• What do you do the first day of class?
• How do you use technology?

Consider continuing the conversation among your colleagues. The answers to these questions and more will be appearing on this website as we unfold our new online resources.
The University Teaching Award winners will continue to participate in Center activities by:

• Serving on a CTL Faculty Advisory Committee to promote best teaching practices within the FSU community
• Participating in the monthly “Teaching Excellence Series”
• Filming a streaming video presentation on one of their best teaching ideas to be featured on the CTL website and campus.fsu.edu.
• Writing an article about a teaching practice for the bi-monthly CTL newsletter.

Look for announcements of these events at this website this fall.
