Summer 2024 ACUE Opportunity
To support faculty in evidence-based practices for learner-centered course design, this summer CETAL will support up to 25 people to participate in a seven-week, online asynchronous course offered by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE). ACUE’s courses provide instruction on evidence-based teaching strategies, offer practical tools for implementing ideas, and include purposeful opportunities to reflect on your teaching.
Course Details: Creating an Inclusive and Supportive Learning Environment
Summer 2024, CETAL will fund up to 24 participants to take the ACUE course Creating an Inclusive and Supportive Learning Environment . This eight-week, online asynchronous course runs from June 1, 2024 through July 29, 2024. While the course is asynchronous, each module has defined deadlines for completion.
Course competencies include
Leading the First Day of Class
Promoting a Civil Learning Environment
Ensuring Access to Learning
Helping Students Persist in Their Studies

Course rosters are dependent on ACUE’s enrollment, so while it is likely that ECC participants will be in a section with other ECC employees, it is not guaranteed. Per ACUE, each module typically takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.
Support Provided by CETAL
Course tuition paid for, for up to 25 ECC participants
Structured opportunities during the summer to connect with other ECC participants to share lessons learned and ideas
Faculty participants who complete the course will receive 18 CETL Workshop Clock Hours towards lane movement.
