Data Fuels Every ACUE Partnership
Our institutional partners share our view that the only approach to student success that works is one grounded in efficacy. That means that we don’t just check our students’ work; we continuously check ours, too.
Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) has developed an accountability method designed to evaluate the impact of faculty development on teaching practices and student outcomes. This six-level evaluation approach is grounded in the industry training model of Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2007) and informed by Guskey’s (2000) and Hines’s (2011) application to educational settings. The six levels are (a) faculty engagement, (b) faculty learning, (c) faculty implementation, (d) student engagement, (e) course-level student outcomes, and (f) institutional outcomes. ACUE developed this approach in order to conduct research-based evaluations of its partnerships with colleges and universities where faculty are credentialed through ACUE’s courses in evidence-based instruction.
