Our A.C.E.™ Signature Method
A.C.E.™ guides every Hillside Communications program: Audience, Content and Educator skills
How We Do It
Applying the latest research in adult learning theory, we will train your presenter experts to be expert presenters through our A.C.E. method training.
Hillside Communications utilizes our signature A.C.E.™ method of instruction for all our A.C.E. method workshops. Developed by co-founder, Christopher Hill, PhD, the A.C.E.™ method recognizes the three important components that must be considered when designing effective education:
- The Audience – Who are they? What do they need to learn?
- The Content – What information must they understand, remember, and apply?
- The Educator – What is the situation, (in-person, online, one-on-one, small audience, large audience, etc.), and what skills does the presenter need to be successful?
The Audience
An effective presentation is prepared to meet the existing knowledge and interest of an audience. Do you know all you need about them build a “fit” for them?
The Content
Of all the information you will shere, what must the audience remember. How will it benefit them, if they apply it?
The Educator
What is the environment in which the teaching will happen,
and do the presenters have the skills to operate effectively in it?
Key Benefits
01
A successful presentation carefully “fits” its audience, including their knowledge, interests, and expectations. Hillside Communications works with presenters, guiding them through the A.C.E. method for presenters to consider their expected audience strategically.
02
Content – What will they remember?
The information to be delivered must be carefully distilled to its essentials and organized into a logical and memorable narrative. Hillside Communications works with presenters to create an engaging beginning, a memorable middle, and a powerful conclusion through A.C.E. method training.
03
Educator – Who are your messengers?
An effective educator adapts to their teaching situation, whatever its advantages or limitations. In real-world training, Hillside Communications gives presenters a chance to practice and master the skills they need to succeed.
04
