Faculty Success is Student Success

The Reinert Center has a nearly 30-year history of accompanying Saint Louis University instructors in making intentional pedagogical choices that support student learning. Not only do instructors report seeing more thoughtful discussions, better exam results, more complex thinking, and well-reasoned case study analyses, but these results are also backed by research.

A study by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) found that faculty development programs can improve student learning outcomes by up to 10%. When instructors are supported in their continued development as teachers, they are better able to authentically create student-centered courses and learning environments.
