ACES Resources

This free online course on the Canvas platform provides a thorough introduction on how to integrate academic, career, and employability skills (ACES) into your instructional context through the use of the Transitions Integration Framework (TIF). Participants can earn 6 CEUs for successful completion of the course.

These observation tools have been developed to make it easier for you to keep track of ACES implementation in your program.

Provided here are all the tools needed to facilitate ACES PLC (Professional Learning Community) I.

Facilitation tools:

• ACES PLC Report – The form facilitators must submit after conducting an ACES PLC in order for their participants to receive CEUs.
• ACES PLC Participant List Template – The form for facilitators to list all the participants in their PLC; this completed form should be uploaded into the above report.

Below are the materials for both types of PLC 1:

Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility is being added to the Featured Resources as part of our effort to look at ACES/TIF through the important lens of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and social emotional learning (SEL). Part of how they fulfill this mission is by sharing a robust collection of classroom resources that focuses on helping people understand current issues, celebrate diversity, and explore intersectionality. The lesson collection is very well-organized and can be searched using key terms and/or by applying various filters.
