The Alliance for Catholic Education, referred to most commonly by
its acronym ACE, is one of the best known and widely respected
programs at the University of Notre Dame. The rock band U2 praised
it during a concert at Notre Dame, the President of the United
States acknowledged it in a valedictory address, and each year
hundreds of students compete for admission. Established in 1994 by
Fr. Timothy Scully, C.S.C., and Fr. Sean McGraw, C.S.C., ACE places
more than 150 college graduates in over one hundred parochial
schools throughout the United States. The overarching purpose of
ACE is to improve Catholic schools, especially in underprivileged
areas of the U.S., by enabling exceptionally talented students to
teach in them. ACE, in turn, offers students two years of
meaningful service and a graduate degree from Notre Dame.
In Teaching Service and Alternative Teacher Education: Notre
Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education, Michael Pressley and his
fellow contributors provide the history of ACE. They also offer a
blueprint for other educational institutions interested in
implementing a similar program. Covering the fundamentals of
starting and maintaining a program like ACE, Teaching Service and
Alternative Teacher Education discusses motivation, planning,
intellectual foundations, and community building. It also tackles
practical issues such as financing the program, obtaining
accreditation, and recruiting teachers.
