ACEC:  HELPING EDUCATORS PREPARE STUDENTS 

Across the county, ACEC is helping students raise their aspirations and levels of achievement.  ACEC provides opportunities for educators to collaborate, interact with the larger community, and receive the full support they need to promote student success.  Educators like the approach because of the creativity it allows them and the real-world linkages it promotes.

Many of the instructors we work with closely do not realize that our programs are meant to support educators, too, not just students and businesses. ACEC understands that educators are juggling it all. While we don’t write the standards for you, the programs ACEC provides do connect to educator objectives while helping students satisfy Graduation Guidelines and demonstrate ICAP proficiencies.

 

ACEC PROGRAMS ARE IMPACTFUL BECAUSE OF THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN EDUCATORS AND INDUSTRY.
