Vision
Montana’s leader in curriculum and professional development
Professional Learning
ACE supports school leaders and teachers with proficiency-based professional learning through standards-based instruction, curriculum, and assessment.
ACE supports schools with implementing high-quality instructional practices and assessments because teaching to the standards:
- Allows transparent and honest feedback to learners, and it’s precise enough for diagnosis and prescription.
- Provides an efficient process that allows more time for relevant and authentic experiences for our learners.
- Prepares learners and develops skills they need to be self-navigating.
If a school also wants to transition toward reporting, ACE can provide professional learning. Depending on the readiness of a district, implementation of standards-based reporting takes at least 3-5 years.
All Montana schools have access to our summer institutes: Event Listing
