ACUE Course on Effective Teaching Practices

What is the ACUE Course on Effective Teaching Practices?

The Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) Course in Effective Teaching Practices is designed for faculty who have completed the Engaging Exploration program, or one similar, and are interested in learning more about active learning practices designed to increase student success. This program consists of 25 one-hour online modules, covering five units of study:

1. Designing an Effective Course and Class
2. Establishing a Productive Work Environment
3. Using Active Learning Techniques
4. Promoting Higher Order Thinking
5. Assessing to Inform Instructions and Promote Learning

In addition, participants meet monthly with their ACUE facilitator. The facilitator is a successful alumni of the ACUE program who was selected through an application process to support the current cohort. 

What are the benefits?

By the end of the year-long program, ACUE participants 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 members can share their progress and challenges met while integrating effective teaching practices into their classrooms. 

In addition, a $1,000 stipend will be awarded to each faculty participant upon completion.
