Program Instructional Excellence

Florida State takes pride in its scholarship of teaching. The University is a place where both great teachers and great researchers function side by side. In the application of knowledge, faculty and teaching asisstants understand that providing quality instruction is critical.

To assist and support instructors in the scholarship of teaching, the Program for Instructional Excellence (PIE) provides a variety of instructional support programs and services. First, PIE conducts conferences and workshops in a university-wide approach. Next, in departmental programs, PIE customizes instructional activities to meet the needs of instructors teaching in a specific discipline. Finally, consultative services are available for faculty and teaching assistants (TAs) on an individual basis.

Representing a part of the University's commitment to excellence in teaching, the Program for Instructional Excellence provides a central facility to assist instructors and departments in the continuing improvement of learning and leadership. PIE not only functions as a resource clearinghouse for addressing instructional materials, equipment, and services. In short, PIE provides comprehensive support for the teaching aspects of a scholar's life at Florida State University.

Call the Program for Instructional Excellence (644-8844) for information and directions to our on-campus office. PIE consultants, university teachers themselves, can help you implement an improvement process appropriate for your teaching style and discipline.
