“The skills I learned and honed during my studies with American College of Education have helped me better understand how my administration works; how to better communicate with them and my peers, as well as, providing valuable insights into how school-wide decisions affect my classroom.”
– Melissa Hooker, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“I fully enjoyed studying with American College of Education and look forward to further studies, research, and programs that will continue to create a bright future for all lifelong learners.”
– George Goetschel, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“This has been a wonderful experience. I’ve learned so many things. The thing that stands out in my mind is the continuity and the structure of the hands-on materials. The academic coaches were very, very helpful. I must say that I really got a lot out of this program and I would recommend it to a friend.”
– Tonisia Smith, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“The information was very vital in the sense that it was hands on learning I was able to take right into my classroom and apply as a teacher even though I was studying administrative leadership, the content was applicable...I walk away saying I truly was very impressed by the amount of work that was put into an I8 month period. I will definitely let others know. You are pioneers in this field. Thank you very much ACE.”
– Amir Rauf, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“I am a parent and have two children in college. When I saw the pricing for ACE I just had to take the courses. I really appreciate that opportunity and the partnership."
– Leslie Swain Store, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“The Educational Leadership courses provided by the American College of Education were very rigorous and relevant to all of the Chicago Public Schools principal competencies. We very grateful and blessed to have gone through the program with the support of our family and friends.”
– Felicia Ann Frazier, M.Ed. Educational Leadership
“My technology advancement has been great. I can say I’ve mastered quite a few skills of my own with technology as well as how I can integrate it with my administration, passing along articles with my colleges, collaborating with my students (emailing them certain things in regards to their class work that they could find beneficial), and if a parent wanted to contact me. So, the technology has really just blown out of the water for me personally and I was thrilled with that aspect.”
– Therese Kopec, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“All the courses in Ace have a diverse student learning portion and it applies in everything and so I took that right with me and ran with it in my classroom. I just felt like I was able to engineer the teaching directly to that student, that student’s needs.”
– Marguerite Matthews, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“For a long time I’ve had the desire to go back to graduate school and to earn a master’s degree and when the opportunity arose I was like “Oh my God! This is a dream come true!” It was affordable, it met my needs as far as being able to work as well as go to school and be competent at what I was doing. It helped me to bring in new things and ideas to my classroom. It helped me to enhance those things I already knew to make me a better and stronger teacher.”
– Latharies Bradshaw, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“ACE has met my needs an adult learner. It was self-paced and I could do it whenever possible. I’m really thankful to American College of Education.”
– Anita Misra, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“I think my students benefited because I benefited. I have always been a strong teacher and everyone wants their child in my classroom, but because the computer classes that I’d taken, because of the ACE curriculum and the structure program, now I’m able to do more collaborative grouping. I’m able to monitor the children more. I’m able to meet their needs and make accommodations and modifications even though they are in a regular classroom. There are some special needs children and with those special needs children I have to know how to facilitate modifications and accommodations which I have learned from ACE program.”
– Rita Webster, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“The coursework definitely opened my eyes to diversity because I teach at a school with 95 percent Hispanic learners and it is always an issue of what we can do to help our ELL learners succeed and compete with students that don’t have the issues that they have. It really made you focus on the kinds of questions that you ask, the kinds of answer choices that you give students and are you really giving them every kind of answer choice so you’re meeting all of the kinds of learning modalities and are you assessing them differently. And that course was very rigorous but very worthwhile.”
– Donna Kos, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“I’m glad that I had this opportunity. I didn’t think I was going ever go back to school, or at least not online. So that was something that now I can give to my students and challenge them and tell them 'Hey, if I can do it anybody can!' So thank you.”
– Anna Rivera, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“My students were a lot more engaged as I implemented some of the things I’d learned in the program. They really responded to a lot of the group work we had done and a lot of the ideas and theories that I went over such as reading comprehension theories or different ways to increase engagement really helped especially some of my lower level learners, students that were struggling. I found a lot of activities for in class and out of class assignments that I could teach them that really benefited them and I saw their scores raise and their confidence really. It’s great how engaged they were.”
– Morgan Mudron, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
