Administrative Cooperative in Education

Administrative Cooperative in Education. A multi-district cooperative program providing services to Chapter I teachers, students, and parents. Approved by JDRP for administrators, teachers, intermediate service agencies, and students in Chapter I programs.

Description The primary goal of Administrative Cooperative in Education (ACE) is to provide quality Chapter I services to rather sparsely populated rural districts, which are often too small to furnish all the necessary features of a successful mastery learning program.

ACE has four key elements: an administrative model, teacher in-service and evaluation, a materials resource center, and parent involvement.

The cooperative makes a cost-effective instructional materials support center a reality. Selected commercial materials for checkout and mass-produced teacher-made materials, accompanied by inservice on the efficient use of both, are a critical dimension. A well-defined staff development plan, evolving from identified needs based on developmental teacher evaluation, instructional strategy fidelity, and program objectives, guidelines, and regulations, is a second critical component.

Parents' participation in their child's instructional program is a priority. A variety of both school year and summer programs have been developed and instituted successfully through the combined efforts of the teachers across the districts.
