Call for Proposals and Proposal Submissions

Call for Proposals

The Center for Teaching and Learning and our partners from WashU Libraries, the Office of the Provost, and Arts & Sciences Computing are excited to announce the next iTeach Conference on January 7th, 2026.  This one-day conference will be held in the Brown School’s Hillman Hall on the Danforth Campus. This conference brings together faculty and instructional staff from all schools at the University for cross-disciplinary discussions on teaching, and research on teaching and learning.  It is an opportunity to share innovative teaching strategies and leave inspired to continue your excellent work in the classroom.

We will offer a variety of formats to share teaching practices with colleagues and welcome contributions that can appeal to a wide range of interests.

Proposal deadline is Wednesday, October 8th at 5p CDT (day after Fall Break). Applications are open to WashU affiliates only. Proposals may be submitted at the bottom of this page.

Please contact iteach@wustl.edu with any questions.

The Call for Proposals is also available as a downloadable pdf.

Conference-paper-style presentation (15 minutes)

Three of these presentations will be included in each conference time block.  The sessions are presenter-focused and centered on a concise topic.  There will be limited time for audience interaction beyond a shared question time at the conclusion of the session.

Panel Presentation (50 minutes)

Propose your own panel of three 15-minute conference-style presentations (see above) or an interactive panel with a moderator and panelists discussing a teaching-related topic.

Poster

Posters provide a medium to share a teaching-related innovation in a visual format. There will be an opportunity at the conference for poster authors to interact with attendees in front of their posters. We also welcome relevant posters that have been previously presented in other settings.

Interactive Workshop (50 minutes)

These sessions for sharing teaching innovations should include elements of audience participation and hands-on activities. They may involve more than one facilitator.

Proposal Submission

The application process for all presentation types consists of a presentation description of up to 150 words. Additional space is provided to include any other relevant logistic information (e.g. co-presenters, special presentation needs, etc.).
