Santa Fe College issued the following announcement on Aug. 31.
Santa Fe College is excited to offer its faculty the opportunity to participate in and pursue a Certificate in Effective College Instruction, the only college teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE). We have offered the entire course (25 modules) over an academic year in the past but will be offering micro-courses (6 to 7 modules) this upcoming year. The fall 2021 offering is Creating an Inclusive and Supportive Online Learning Environment, focused on learning and implementing research-based teaching practices, each shown to improve student success. The course will be professionally facilitated and delivered online with a cohort of faculty members, with whom you will share insights and ideas. The course schedule is below.
