Acadience Learning's Philosophy and Mission

Acadience Learning is an educational company that is dedicated to supporting success for children and schools. The company was founded by Roland H. Good, III, and Ruth Kaminski, authors of Acadience™ Reading K–6 (also published as DIBELS Next^®) and all earlier versions of DIBELS^®.

Our mission is to improve outcomes for children and support school success by developing practical, innovative, and powerful assessment and curricular materials. To help effectively implement these tools, we offer high-quality training and professional development.

We here at Acadience Learning believe that by working together we can make a difference. We contribute to school success by producing and making available practical and easy-to-use curricular and assessment materials that are based on the best and most up-to-date research.

In addition, we believe that strong partnerships are essential to our mission of supporting school success. We offer professional development through our training institutes. We also provide onsite professional development and collaborative support through customized trainings tailored to meet specific needs of schools, districts, and educational agencies.

Our Goals

• To develop and conduct research on effective assessment and curricular tools that can be used to improve reading outcomes for children
