All are welcome! For the second time, our Faculty Fellows in Teaching & Learning, Dr. Margie Hensler and Dr. Michael Mallott, will be hosting Snack & Share sessions at both the Daytona Beach and DeLand campuses.

ACUE Spring & Summer Cohorts
Daytona State College full-time and part-time faculty members may now register for Spring and Summer 2023 ACUE cohorts. As we announced earlier this semester, DSC faculty members have the opportunity to engage in an evidence-based nationally recognized graduate-level teaching certification and the only college teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE). This teacher certification is comprised of four micro-credentials (offered over the course of an academic year) to prepare faculty with evidence-based teaching practices proven to increase student achievement and close equity gaps.
Enroll by 12/8/2022
Enroll today! All full-time and part-time faculty will be eligible but there is a limit to the number of participants. You can (and are encouraged to) sign up for more than one course. To enroll in the January 2023 cohort, faculty must register by Thursday, December 8th, 2022.

Modality
All cohorts offered through ACUE are fully online and asynchronous. During the course, faculty will think about their own course, attempt to implement new or expanded skills, and reflect on the effectiveness of those changes. ACUE estimates faculty will spend 2-3 hours per week on coursework.
Structure of the Training
Modules (25 in total) are combined into four micro-credential courses. Once all four are completed, you will earn your Certificate in Effective [Online] College Instruction. Most of these different micro-credentials are either focused on the face-to-face classroom or virtual learning environments, but all content is provided fully online asynchronously. The four courses include:
- Promoting Active Learning
- Creating an Inclusive and Supportive Learning Environment
- Inspiring Inquiry and Preparing Lifelong Learning
- Designing Student-Centered Courses
