Programs

ACUE Commons

We are excited to announce that ACUE Commons—previously available only to faculty who were enrolled in or completed ACUE courses—is now open to all UTA faculty. This expansion allows every UTA instructor to explore ACUE’s evidence‑based teaching resources, one‑hour Quick Studies, and professional learning community.

ACUE Certification

In this certification course, educators learn about and implement evidence-based teaching approaches that improve student achievement. Working through 4 manageable Micro-credential courses that all together comprise 25 modules across five comprehensive units of study, educators collaborate with peers, receive expert facilitation, and develop effective teaching practices.

Professional Learning Communities

For the last three years faculty and staff from all across campus have joined together in groups within a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to learn from each other, research together, and develop new and creative ways to enhance and assess collaboration in their classrooms.

Center for Service Learning

The Center for Service Learning integrates academic coursework with service to the community. Students engage in classroom activities and discussions and perform local projects related to their academic coursework, and reflect upon those experiences.

Maverick Advantage Faculty Engagement (MAFE)

The Maverick Advantage Faculty Engagement (MAFE) Program engages, educates, prepares, and supports faculty on understanding what the Maverick Advantage is. It encourages faculty to integrate one or more of the Maverick Advantage activities into their academic courses.

Graduate Student Program

The Graduate Student Program is designed to provide UTA graduate students the opportunities to enhance their teaching performance while at UTA, train to be reflective educators, and be better prepared for their career.

Three to Thrive

Three to Thrive is a faculty-led initiative supported by the Division of Student Success, The Office of the Provost, and the University of Texas System. It provides easy-to-implement teaching practices to improve the student experience in the classroom and on campus.

CRTLE Faculty Fellows: What We Do

CRTLE Faculty Fellows are a cross‑campus cohort of educators who advance excellent, evidence‑based teaching at UTA. Fellows co‑lead programming, mentor peers, pilot ideas, and serve as liaisons between CRTLE and academic units, helping colleagues translate research and innovation into day‑to‑day teaching practices.
