At Broward College, three cohorts of faculty completed the ACUE course in Effective Teaching Practices during the 2018-2019 academic year. In Research Brief 13 (2020), we analyzed the impact that these ACUE-certified faculty had on their students’ outcomes in the year in which faculty were completing the ACUE course.

In this follow-up analysis, we focused on the impact of ACUE-certified faculty in the year after faculty completed the ACUE course. Specifically, student course outcomes were analyzed for the 72,503 non-unique enrollments of students taught by the ACUE-certified faculty, along with all enrollments from sections of the same courses that were taught by non-certified instructors. The analysis found that passing rates, DFW rates, and course grades improved more for students of ACUE-certified faculty compared to students in matched sections.
