Background
The Alberta Advisory Committee for Educational Studies (AACES) is an external committee of which the ATA is a stakeholder. The committee secretariat is currently administered by the ATA.
Since its inception in the 1950s, the Alberta Advisory Committee for Educational Studies has made an important contribution to educational research in Alberta. The main purpose of the AACES is to encourage and financially support educational studies. It may also support publications designed to disseminate the results of educational studies. AACES currently involves a partnership among the faculties of education at the Universities of Alberta and Lethbridge, the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary and the Alberta Teachers’ Association.
