UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ Partners with HOW2s to Embed Evidence-Based Teaching Across Entire Curriculum

TeachingHOW2s LLC is delighted to announce its strategic partnership with UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ (UCNJ), the State’s longest-standing community college. This innovative collaboration has resulted in the integration of Evidence-Based Teaching (EBT) techniques throughout UCNJ’s comprehensive curriculum, bringing benefits to its entire body of students.

By partnering with TeachingHOW2s and harnessing the plethora of teaching techniques available on the HOW2 Faculty Development Platform, the College has reaffirmed its commitment to excellence in education, ensuring that every instructor can benefit from EBT techniques tailored to their specific curriculum area.

Leveraging the bespoke capabilities of the HOW2 platform, UCNJ has created customized, comprehensive sets of EBT techniques tailored to align with every unit of every course offered across the college. These techniques seamlessly integrate into the instruction and delivery of UCNJ’s entire curricula, bringing benefits to every student across the College.

In addition, the HOW2 platform’s integration with the College’s proprietary syllabus platform will help ensure that UCNJ’s substantial adjunct faculty can readily identify and promptly implement these valuable HOW2 techniques.

While the HOW2 platform has been successfully implemented in nearly 200 colleges and universities across the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Middle East and North Africa region, UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ’s partnership with HOW2s represents the first of its kind in the New Jersey region.
