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.
