ACUE Faculty Training and Evaluation

---

ACUE Faculty Training Course 

The Burch Institute, the WKU Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) and Academic Affairs partnered to bring ACUE’s Course in Effective Teaching Practices to WKU as a student success and retention initiative. This comprehensive 25-module courseaddresses all of the core competencies in the effective practices framework, taking nearly an entire academic year to complete. More than 30 faculty members representing all WKU colleges comprised the first cohort, which culminated its work before spring semester 2020. The cohort boasted a 97% completion rate, with each successful faculty member earning the nationally recognized certificate from ACUE.
