ACE offers a number of opportunities for growth for community college faculty, staff and administrators.

 

Institutes

  • Experiential Learning Institute (FELI)
    The FELI is a 5-day institute that draws on core ACE curriculum around communication, working styles and leadership techniques. Participants have the opportunity to learn new skills, renew themselves professionally and get a taste of ACE. The FELI is also the entry point for anyone interested in becoming an ACE instructor.

  • ACE Executive Leadership Institute (ELI)
    The Executive Leadership Institute series is designed for college presidents and high-level administrators. These events focus on helping the leadership team assess and evaluate the implementation of a project, and through this analysis begin to understand the cultural changes necessary to successfully improve the performance of the leadership team and the college. The workshops help begin a process which fosters culture change within the organization and improve the quality of relationships required at all levels of the college for successful implementation of change.

Community of Practice (CoP)

  • The Community of Practice (CoP) is a day-long gathering that provides the ACE community a place to connect and exchange ideas. Participation is a great way to contribute to the program as well as stay abreast of the latest innovations.
