If you’ve been looking for a space where creativity, pedagogy, and community genuinely intersect, this might be your moment!

The ACE Innovator community is a selective, application-based cohort of U.S. educators, instructional leaders, librarians, coaches, and creative changemakers who are using Adobe tools to elevate student voice, reimagine learning, and share their practice with others.

ACE Innovators aren’t defined by perfection or platofrm size. They are people who:

• Thoughtfully integrate creativity into teaching and learning

• Reflect on practice and are open to learning alongside others

• Care deeply about student agency, voice, and meaningful outcomes

• Contribute generously to a collaborative, educator-led community

As an ACE Innovator, you’ll connect with educators across roles and regions, participate in collaborative learning experiences, and help shape how creativity shows up in education, both locally and globally.

Because this is a cohort-based experience, not all applicants will be accepted. We review applications with care, focusing on impact, reflection, and readiness to participate in a collaborative community.

The 2026 ACE Innovator Cohort is currently open to U.S.-based applicants only, with applications open through January 31. If this feels aligned to your work, or someone you know, we encourage you to apply.

We’re excited to learn from the stories, practices, and perspectives you bring!
