While we were spared the worst of the storm, our friends and colleagues at St. Petersburg College were not as fortunate. My sister president, Dr. Tonjua Williams, shared today on our statewide call that 400 students and nearly 100 employees lost their homes... from Hurricane #Helene. The extent of the additional impacts from Hurricane #Milton yesterday remains to be seen. If you want to make a difference to those looking to recover from these two incredibly powerful storms, please consider a donation to the St. Petersburg College Foundation at https://lnkd.in/e7_NVAPM You can choose their Emergency Fund which will allow them to purchase meal cards or Uber rides for their students and employees facing the greatest needs. A donation of $10 can help a student get a meal or a ride. Valencia College and The Florida College System are all #TitanStrong. #communitycollege #philanthropy #hurricanerelief #florida The Florida Department of Education

In a recent Forbes article, contributing writer and San Francisco Bay University President Nicholas Ladany explains that while most college professors agree that education is essential for learning and performance, many still need formal training in effective #teaching practices. He emphasizes that teaching is more than mastering content—it requires communicating, inspiring students, and adapting to their diverse learning needs. We know that effective teaching is critical for #studentsuccess and among the many levers colleges can pull to improve student outcomes, effective teaching is often overlooked. This can be highly detrimental, as evidence-based teaching practices can make the difference between failure and success for many students. What happens when teaching isn’t overlooked? Students, faculty, and institutions thrive. How do we know? We’ve seen the outcomes among our 560+ #college, #university, and system partners with faculty certified in ACUE’s Effective Practice Framework—the nation’s only teaching certification endorsed by the American Council on Education. These outcomes show that effective teaching increases retention, lowers DFW rates, reduces equity gaps, and can boost institutional revenue by over $600,000 in just one year. And what do faculty have to say? Instructors certified in ACUE’s Framework report greater self-efficacy, confidence, and a growth mindset in themselves and their students. Explore the results and impact in our Great Teaching Movement Toolkit (https://lnkd.in/gwtAqFAa).
