Congratulations ACUE Course Participants!

ACUE Faculty Development Course for Effective Teaching Practices

Coordinated by the OFDAS Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is participating in a major national study of gateway courses in partnership with the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE).

Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the study examines the relationship between evidence-based instruction and student outcomes. The faculty development course, launched in spring and continuing in fall 2022 through ACUE, is preparing faculty in evidence-based teaching practices proven through independently-validated research to improve student achievement and close equity gaps. 

At completion of the program, participating faculty will be awarded a nationally recognized Certificate in Effective College Instruction, the only college teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE).  

Faculty who have already earned their ACUE credential, including faculty from UH Windward are extraordinarily enthusiastic about this experience, and CTE is delighted to support this opportunity for our Mānoa faculty.

UH Mānoa was selected based on our proven commitment to student success and equity. Other institutions participating in this study represents a diverse cross section of American higher education. Institutes include:

• California State University Northridge
• North Carolina A&T University
• Ivy Tech Community College
• Borough of Manhattan Community College-CUNY
• University of Houston
