ACUE covered all the bases and had data to show it. Many programs pitched to us say that they can do things but don’t have the data to prove it.
Courses taught by instructors certified in the ACUE framework realize a 4.18% increase in student success, which is a significant performance improvement. One instructor even realized a 20.49% increase in student success. He might not have had the opportunity to take that giant leap were it not for ACUE.
I hope that our institution is better for having us here. We’re an educational services institution, so we must have great teaching and learning, because that’s the right thing to do. I hope that future instructors would say ‘Wow, they really cared a lot about supporting instructors and instruction so much so that they actually invested in it.’
That’s why I get excited when I get to write hand-written notes thanking faculty. If they know that we care, maybe they will strive to achieve even more.
