The ETP program is a year-long professional development experience providing a deep dive into effective teaching principles and practices. It utilizes the curriculum of the Association of Colleges and Universities (ACUE) accompanied by support of Cal Poly peer mentors. In this program, faculty complete 25 modules to earn the ACUE's Certificate in Effective College Teaching or complete six modules earn an ACUE microcredential on a particular theme. This is the third year that the CTLT has offered the ACUE-grounded program at Cal Poly. This integrated program is a component of Cal Poly's Equity Priority 5 Program (details soon).
