The Association for the Cooperative Advancement of Science & Education

For over three decades, ACASE has been working with creative teachers and scientists to develop concepts, methods, and technologies that provide educators with actionable information on student achievement, with the explicit goal of generating useful data to support instructional decision-making. 

Practical Educational Science

Our scientific approach is known as Practical Educational Science. This is a method of identifying singular learning goals and measuring student attainment of those goals, allowing the educator to pinpoint specific learning deficiencies. Practical Educational Science results in the educator knowing exactly what the students’ capabilities are, in order to respond in a more targeted manner.

We provide a number of useful tools for K-12 science teachers. You can use our FREE NGSS and NYSSLS assessments in your classroom and learn exactly what your students’ capabilities are!  We also have a variety of free resources for reference, professional development, and for developing instructional and assessment activities.
