What our members are saying:

I cannot thank ACET enough for the valuable virtual training.  The presenters were impactful in all of their guiding information.  The depth of knowledge, experiences and examples that were given during our meetings really helps through navigating the various requirements of ESSA.  The BIGGEST value from attending the virtual conference was not only being able to do it from my desk but also the visuals, examples and being able to collaborate with our presenters on what they are actually doing in their district.  This conference was very beneficial and impactful.  THANK YOU!!!
