Florida Association for Student Success 40th Annual Conference
The Florida Association for Student Success (FASS) is currently planning its 40th annual state conference, focusing on best practices. Developmental Education continues to garner attention on a national level. Many great initiatives are being implemented. FASS has certainly not been blind to these initiatives and to the faculty, staff, and administrators putting them into practice. We have learned a lot over the past year, and the 2021 FASS Conference will be a great venue to share our experiences.
We are seeking proposals for online or in person presentations from faculty, staff, and administrators that focus on practical strategies that participants can apply at their institutions. Proposals will be selected on the basis of appropriateness, level of practical value, significance of the topic, and applicability at other institutions. The Proposal Committee will also consider balance in the range of topics, but will look specifically for proposals that address one or more of the following areas:
- Best practices in teaching developmental and gateway math, reading and/or English
- Best practices in teaching non-native speakers of English
- Co-requisites
- Math Pathways
- K-12 Partnerships
- Adult Literacy
- College Success Skills
- Career Readiness
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Academic Coaching
- Academic support strategies
- Leadership
- Higher Education Research
- Higher Education Advocacy
- Professional Development
- Educational Technology
- Academic Continuity
Now is the ideal time to put our research and ideas into practice. Please fill out the form below and return to the contacts listed at the end.
Format of Sessions

The emphasis is on structured activities for the participants with the presenters helping participants determine ways to apply the best practice at their institution. The presenter may distribute handouts and use audiovisual aids.
Responsibilities of Presenters
- Only those registered for the conference may actually present a session. All presenters must register and pay fees for the conference, or the session will be canceled.
- All communications will be sent to the Contact Presenter, who is responsible for notifying all co-presenters.
- The content of a session should not be significantly altered once the proposal is accepted.
- Presenters are responsible for bringing all of their own technical equipment other than flip charts, markers and projection screens and for providing any handouts.
