ACE-to-BASE™ is being developed as a Tier 1 universal prevention and early-intervention system that can integrate into existing district priorities, including:
MTSS and Tiered Support Models
School safety and climate initiatives
Social-emotional learning (SEL) policy alignment
Trauma-aware and resilience-building efforts
Legislative and board-level accountability
Early identification of social-emotional risk at Tier 1
Clear, structured prevention pathways before escalation
Implementation that prioritizes low teacher and administrative burden
-Reduced classroom disruption
-Low teacher documentation burden
Data dashboards that support school and district decision-making
-Data-supported prevention
Decrease Tier 2 & Tier 3 overload
Improved student regulation and engagement
Alignment with existing frameworks rather than “one more thing”
Reduced crisis-driven classroom disruption
Reduced reliance on Tier 2 and Tier 3 services over time
Improved teacher retention through better support for classroom behavior
Stronger communication with families about prevention and support
Scalable, documented prevention practices that can withstand leadership changes
ACE-to-BASE™ is being structured so that:
No implementation occurs without formal district and board approval
Data practices are designed to align with FERPA and applicable state regulations
Local districts retain control over deployment decisions
The framework is adaptable to local needs within a consistent core model
All public school pilots and deployments will proceed only through formal agreements with districts and boards.
ACE-to-BASE™ does not replace counselors, psychologists, special education, or therapy and is not independently implemented by teachers.
