Alternate Routes to Certification Overview

ACES facilitates two advanced educator preparation programs approved by the CT State Board of Education. These programs were developed by ACES to address teacher certification shortage areas. Participation is open to currently certified teachers only. ACES has expanded access to both programs through the addition of ACES-created blended and virtual learning curricula.
