To fulfill our mission, ACSR provides on- and off-site workshops, courses, and institutes customized to meet the unique needs of teachers, schools, and communities. Our Communities of Professional Practice services create collaborative, job-embedded professional learning opportunities for teachers that adhere to high standards and represent best practices in adult learning and professional development.
Our facilitators model pedagogical excellence, teaching not only content but also the process skills needed for meaningful change and instructional success. We are proud that our AUNE Education Department alumni bring innovative program ideas to ACSR and often serve as consultants. Our programs are interactive, hands-on, energizing, and unlike any in-service you have experienced before!
