Thirty-two WKU faculty members were recognized for earning a nationally recognized teaching credential co-endorsed by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) and the American Council on Education (ACE) during a pinning ceremony on February 4.
Provost Cheryl Stevens congratulated the inaugural graduating cohort, which included 32 faculty members from five colleges, all faculty ranks, and over 20 departments.
Provost Stevens remarked that the cohort’s completion rate was an impressive 100 percent (while the national completion rate is 83 percent).
These 32 faculty demonstrated their commitment to student success by completing the “Effective Teaching Practices” course to equip them with the instructional skills shown to promote student motivation, learning and persistence.
