ACUE Certification in Effective Teaching Practices

SLCC partners with the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) to offer a course in Effective Teaching Practices comprised of four ACUE Microcredential Courses:

Fall 2025 - Inspiring Inquiry and Preparing Lifelong Learners
Spring 2026 - Creating a Productive Learning Environment
Designing Learner-Centered Courses
Promoting Active Learning

Each of these microcredential courses are semester-long, asynchronous professional development opportunities facilitated by the Faculty Teaching & Learning Center. We offer one ACUE microcredential course each semester.

More than 220 SLCC faculty have completed the four microcredentials in Effective Teaching Practices and earned the American Council on Education (ACE) endorsed Certificate in Effective College Instruction.
