Ten institutions have been chosen to participate in the study, run by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) and sponsored with a $1.5 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
"To date, our 18 studies have established an incontrovertible link between the evidence-based teaching of ACUE-credentialed faculty and improved grades, higher completion rates, and closed equity gaps by race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status,” said ACUE chief data officer Meghan Snow. “With this new study, we can investigate these relationships in gateway courses—which are so consequential in a student’s academic career.”
The ten institutions are:
- Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York
- California State University, Northridge
- Georgia Southern University
- University of Hawai’i at Manoa
- University of Houston
- Ivy Tech Community College
- North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
- Ohio Association of Community Colleges
The study’s preliminary findings are expected to be released in early 2023.
