Middle School, Middle Level- these are the people who guide the boys who have to jump as high as they can on every doorway. The girls who are figuring out what to carry in their purse. The ones who call eveyone “bruh” and “bro” every day and as generically as possible. The ones who will -probably- work for a single Starburst, or any type of food… The ones who still need recess every day even if the school doesn’t schedule it, because kinetic energy is still all over the place… when they act awake after 9am. The ones who can change the smell of a room in 3.5 seconds. The ones who are too cool and are too silly- within five minutes and back again. The ones who sometimes have the self-control of a gnat, and then have startlingly profound awareness. The ones who are both mean and kind on the same day. The ones whose brains are neuro-organizing all the files in new places and they forget everything and all their stuff. The ones whose energy could power the world, just like Monsters Inc. The ones who take a special kind of teacher to *get* them. They’re not just smaller high schoolers. Hats 🎩 Off to the Middle Level Educators.

Reimagining Title II: Building Sustainable Educator Pipelines with ACE A recent EdWeek Market Brief article highlights the untapped potential of Title II funding in supporting our nation's educators. With nearly $2 billion annually available for teacher development and class-size reduction, districts have a significant opportunity to invest in their most valuable asset: their people. However, many districts need to fully leverage these funds to build sustainable, academically, and financially competitive educator pipelines. It's time to reimagine how we use Title II dollars. At the American College of Education (ACE), we believe in fostering collaborative environments that promote growth and expansion, ensuring that your team continues to thrive. We recognize the importance of investing in credit-bearing professional development of educators, as those who feel supported and empowered are more likely to stay engaged for the longer term. Our comprehensive approach includes: 🔹 Targeted pathways that help paraprofessionals gain the competencies to fill critical shortages. 🔹 Specialized skills training with the latest literacy, mathematics, STEM, Content Area Instruction, and cultural competence practices. 🔹 Leadership development programs that prepare talented teachers who aspire to step into being coaches, aspire to be site leaders, or lean into central office administration roles. 🔹 Affordable bachelor's, master's, and doctoral-level degree programs that allow educators to refine their expertise while optimizing existing professional development budgets. By partnering with ACE, districts can ensure they are making smart, sustainable investments in their people that pay dividends for years to come.
