Teaching Excellence Symposium 2026
We invite colleagues throughout the CSU to share your ideas, innovations, and expertise at this year’s Teaching Excellence Symposium (TES), taking place on October 28.
This year’s symposium will showcase how we connect theory to practice and educators to one another in meaningful ways. We welcome proposals that demonstrate engaging, hands-on, and forward-thinking approaches to teaching and learning in higher education.
We encourage sessions that explore:
- Applied and experiential learning (e.g. labs, projects, internships, service learning)
- Innovative teaching with emerging technologies
- Instructional design and educational technologist projects and partnerships
- Evidence informed strategies for student engagement and success
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration
- Assessment of real-world skills and outcomes
- Industry and community partnerships
- Promoting access and inclusion
- Institutionally supported teaching and learning initiatives (e.g. system funded grants, institution specific priorities, college and/or department supported projects, etc.)
Whether you have a proven strategy, a creative idea, or a lesson learned from the classroom, your perspective can inspire colleagues across higher education.
