ACUE Summer & Fall 2023 Cohorts

Daytona State College full-time and part-time faculty members may now register for Summer and Fall 2023 ACUE cohorts. As we announced earlier this year, DSC faculty members acue effective college instruction badgehave 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 5/5/2023

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 May 22, 2023 cohort, faculty must register by Friday, May 5th, 2023. 

All cohorts offered through ACUE are fully online and asynchronous. The [Online] designator means that these classes are focused on online teaching and learning best practices; whereas, the classes that do not have the [Online] designator are focused on face-to-face teaching and learning best practices. 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.
