ACUE at ¸£Àû¼§
What is ACUE?
The ACUE certification is a year-long course on Effective Teaching Practices that explores 5 themes: Designing an Effective Course and Class, Establishing a Productive Work Environment, Using Active Learning Techniques, Promoting Higher Order Thinking and Assessing to Inform Instructors and Promote Learning. The program begins in September and concludes with a Pinning Ceremony the following September. Participants meet monthly with their facilitator and complete 25 one-hour modules.
Why pursue ACUE certification?
-
Nationally-recognized program
ACUE is the only nationally recognized certification in Effective Teaching and is endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE). Your ACUE certification sets a benchmark expectation of higher quality teaching with higher student success rates and satisfaction.
-
Proven Increased Student Success
Instructors who complete the ACUE course on Effective Teaching Practices certification at ¸£Àû¼§ show an improvement in mean IDEA scores from 4.22 to 4.39, and reduced mean DFQ scores from 12.87 to 10.48, clearly demonstrating the value and student satisfaction from ACUE-certified instructors over their non-certified peers. Our study was not influenced nor had financial incentives from ACUE, and was done with a large sample size compared to other studies. Become a part of next year's cohort by applying during the application acceptance period, January through July.
What can You expect?
By the end of the year-long program, you will have the information necessary to implement teaching practices that promote student engagement, persistence, and academic success. By using a cohort model for the program, a community is built where you can share your progress and challenges while integrating effective teaching practices into your classroom.
A $1,000 stipend will be awarded to each eligible participant upon completion. Refer to ¸£Àû¼§'s stipend policy for eligibility requirements.
