Anyone who has gone through the ACE program knows that there are two parts of the year, teaching and being taught.  After a stressful year of teaching, the ACE summer brings some of the strictest and most stern teachers back to Notre Dame campus, where their behavior often resembles their most difficult students during the school year.  And who, but the beloved ACE summer faculty, has the joy of experiencing ACE teachers free from their classrooms, and void of professional responsibility. 

Year after year, the ACE program has been blessed with some of the most talented and respected educators and researchers in the field of education. Thanks to the leadership of Doc Doyle, and the commitment of the summer staff, ACE teachers are given a superior education and quality professional development. 

Many members of the ACE summer staff have been with the program since the MEd. was first offered at Notre Dame, but the program is also fortunate to have new and experienced professors each and every summer. Below you will find a list of the 2007 ACE Faculty.
