Leading Measures

1. ACUE Certification.
2. EAB Navigate Early Alert Use.
3. AI Credentialing.
4. Participation in Quality Learning Assessment.

 

Supporting Data

1. Investing in instructional quality improves student retention, persistence, and success rates, which may positively affect net revenue (Brown and Kurzweil 2017).
2. Results suggest that 145 fewer students received DFW grades in their courses thanks to ACUE training conducted at the University of Arkansas Pulaski Tech in 2018. 
3. ACUE research from 2020 at Waubonsee Community College found that the predicted probability of course completion for students of ACUE Certified faculty was 1.5 percentage points higher in the post period than otherwise expected had faculty not earned the ACUE certificate.
