Why Effective Teaching Matters

Corbin Campbell, from American University, shared in her book “Great College Teaching” a nationally representative poll that asked what makes for the best university.

The top answer? Institutions with the best college teachers.

However, there is no formal support consistently required for instructors to be effective educators.

ACUE exists to change this.

The World that ACUE is Building

Institutions boost revenue by more than $600,000 in one year

Instructors are more confident in their teaching

Retention rates increase by 4% in first-year students

Students are inspired by their instructors

DFW rates shrink by 3% and more students persist

A level playing field for all students and equity gaps are eliminated
