Apply to be a Provost’s Teaching Scholar

The Boise State Provost's Teaching Scholars program recognizes instructors' commitment to ongoing professional development around teaching. Honorees have demonstrated their skills in the three components of effective teaching: well-structured instructional design, the use of instructional strategies that actively engage students and support learning, and a commitment to continuous improvement through reflective practice.

Students who take courses from Boise State Provost's Teaching Scholars can expect:

• A course whose design was guided by learning outcomes, where assignments are authentic and offer students choices, and where these assessments measure student achievement of the learning outcomes.
• A course where they actively engage in a variety of ways with course content and one another, where feedback is learning-focused, and where learning activities and instructional materials support them in achieving the learning outcomes.
• That their instructor regularly reflects on their teaching practice, that they collect evidence from a variety of sources and make changes to their courses based on what they learned, and that they are willing to adapt their courses as needed in support of student learning.
