Communications Tools for ACDE Members
This page contains a suite of elements to help you promote ACDE and the ACDE Accords on your website, in your social media accounts, in communications to your own faculty or senior administration, and to external groups and events (ministries, conference presentations, Indigenous communities, etc.). In order to keep the ACDE brand strong, we encourage you to use these elements as they are presented and not to modify them. If you require additional formats, please contact Katy Ellsworth at katy.ellsworth@acde-acde.ca.
About ACDE
This “boilerplate” text can be used in any communications material that you produce. Please do not alter the text.
Longer text:
The Association of Canadian Deans of Education (ACDE) is an association of Deans, Directors, or Chairs of Canadian Faculties, Schools, Colleges, or Departments of Education committed to pan-Canadian leadership in professional and teacher education, educational research, and policy in universities and university-colleges. ACDE is a constituent association of the Canadian Society for the Study of Education.
ACDE’s mission rests on five underlying assumptions:
- that high quality professional and teacher education together with robust and responsible educational policy are the foundations of a civil society and of Canada’s future in the global context;
- that the role of the educator in a civil society is that of a public intellectual;
- that quality professional and teacher education and sound educational policy are essential for individual and societal development;
- that the affirmation and advancement of cultural diversity depends on a well-developed educational system and well-educated teachers; and
- that research and practice are mutually constitutive.
ACDE’s mission is therefore to foster professional and teacher education, engage in educational research, and participate in educational policy development. ACDE supports access, participation, and success in education for all. ACDE supports the professional development of educators through undergraduate study, initial teacher education, graduate study and continuing professional development. ACDE is committed to high quality educational research and to developing policies and initiatives in conjunction with other educational partners such as provincial governments, colleges of teachers, teacher organizations, and professional societies and organizations.
