The micro credentials are offered online over the course of the academic year. The average time commitment is 2-3 hours per week. These micro credentials prepare faculty with evidence-based teaching practices proven to increase student achievement and close equity gaps (https://acue.org/impact/efficacy-studies-report/).
Faculty who complete all four micro credentials (one of which must be Designing Learner-Centered Courses) will earn a nationally recognized Certificate in Effective College Instruction, the only college teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE).
This course prepares educators to use research-based practices shown to help students succeed.
The program addresses the essential pedagogical skills and knowledge in the following five main areas of study:
- Designing an Effective Course
