ACES Foundations

ACES Foundations is a free online course that is hosted on the Schoology platform; it provides a wonderful overview of ACES (Academic, Career and Employability Skills) and how it can give teachers the tools they need to help students reach their goals. The course was designed for those who are new to ACES, those who would like to better understand how ACES fits into our Minnesota ABE content standards, and those who need more information on how to utilize the Transitions Integration Framework (TIF) in their classroom or program.

This course is asynchronous and facilitated by the contracted ACES Coordinator, who reads and responds to posts and final reflections. Completers can earn 6 CEUs.
