Post-secondary education's worst (and perhaps worst-kept) secret is that the vast majority of those who teach in our nation's colleges and universities never learned how to do so. Sure, these professionals are experts in their fields. They know their specialties and the niche corners of their subject matter. And because of their subject mastery, places of higher learning expect that these experts can teach what they know to a diverse audience. The reality? Not always true. So, in a world where our expected educators are educated but not specifically for the purposes of teaching, we need- well- education! In comes ACUE, the Association for College and University Educators, our country's finest higher-education educating coalition.

Jonathan Gyurko, recurring Pencil Buster and champion of public education, founded ACUE 10 years ago. The simple goal: improve post-secondary education. ACUE has already trained 33,000 college and university professionals to be effective educators. They can now boast two more educated educators joining the ranks as Dr. Tim and Dr. Johnny commit to completing ACUE courses to improve their own teaching!
