Mission

ACE will develop and provide meaningful curriculum and relevant resources to build the capacity of educators as they support students to achieve proficiency.


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
