The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa was invited to participate in an Association Of College And University Educators<\/a> (ACUE<\/abbr>) study focused on “gateway” courses that will examine the effects of high-quality professional development. Gateway courses are those that departments want students to take to effectively enter into that discipline\u2019s field of study. The ACUE<\/abbr> study will explore the relationship between implementing evidence-based and equity-promoting teaching practices and positive mindsets, stronger student outcomes, and narrowing equity gaps.<\/p>\n

The study is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.<\/p>\n

“We are honored to take part in this important study, which both recognizes and supports our institution\u2019s goals for student success and equity,” said UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost Michael Bruno<\/strong>. “Findings from this study will help deepen our understanding of how to support stronger, more equitable student outcomes.”<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa will receive $200,000 in services and direct funding, including: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Enrollment of three faculty cohorts—approximately 90 to 100 people—into ACUE<\/abbr>\u2019s full credential course in Effective Teaching Practices or Effective Online Teaching Practices through which research data will be collected<\/li>\n
  2. A direct grant of $50,000 to defray the institution\u2019s program-related expenses (e.g. office of institutional research staffing, cohort facilitation, project management, etc.)<\/li>\n
  3. ACUE<\/abbr> Research support services<\/li>\n
  4. Comprehensive partnership services from an ACUE<\/abbr> support team consisting of a partnership director, success manager, academic strategy consultant, director of implementation, and communications specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The invitation letter stated, “We estimate that this program will benefit over 10,000 of UH<\/abbr>\u2019s students (or ‘student enrollments’), annually, given typical teaching loads, and add important contributions to our understanding of faculty impact on student success.”<\/p>\n

    Participating faculty will have the opportunity to earn ACUE<\/abbr>\u2019s Certificate in Effective College Instruction, the only nationally recognized collegiate teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education. The deadline to apply for the program is February 11.<\/p>\n

    The program will involve participation of the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Excellence, the Office of Student Academic Success, and the Center for Teaching Excellence. If you are a faculty teaching a gateway course for your department and did not receive an invitation to participate, contact the Center for Teaching Excellence at cte@hawaii.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
