ACUE drives student success through quality instruction.
About ACUE
The Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) partners with higher education institutions to deliver a complete solution for excellence in every class.
We deliver the only nationally recognized certification in Effective Teaching supported by a vibrant community of practice designed to refine and elevate your faculty’s teaching skills.
Instructors who earn a certification in ACUE’s Effective Teaching Framework are proven to
Boost persistence and
completion for students
Improve faculty
confidence and engagement
Propel measured results that help institutions meet their strategic goals
Not enough students are succeeding.
Higher education isn’t meeting the needs of many of our students. This lack of persistence and retention is detrimental to both students and institutions alike. There are many levers that colleges can pull to help improve student success, but the largest factor of all is too often overlooked: effective teaching.
Effective teaching can help determine a student's future.
ACUE was created to meet one goal: help students succeed by improving teaching. Working collaboratively with scholars in teaching and learning, ACUE developed the Effective Teaching Framework to meet that goal.
When instructors begin working with ACUE, they quickly learn that small changes can make a big difference with their students.
For many students, being engaged with evidenced-based teaching practices is the difference between failure and success.
Faculty love ACUE.
We have more than 55,000 instructors who are raving fans because taking an ACUE course has been a game changer for them.
Regardless of how many years they have been teaching, faculty report a renewed enthusiasm for teaching, more connections to their colleagues, increased self-efficacy—evidence that ACUE’s Certification in Effective Teaching is a strategy to mitigate faculty burnout.
Transformative at every level
We created one of the education industry’s most rigorous and sophisticated systems for measurement, which shows that instructors certified in ACUE’s Framework truly move the needle on student success.
And when students learn more, prepare for their future, and persist to graduation, institutions meet their student success goals and see a significant return on their investment in faculty.
Faculty Development That Drives Student Success
ACUE provides higher education’s only nationally recognized teaching certification, and we will not rest until every college instructor is a great teacher.
We owe that to our instructors and their students.
