Affordable Credits for Teachers was created by Adam and Sarah Nance, two Denver high school Social Studies and English teachers respectively, who, when pursuing their horizontal salary advancement and license renewal accreditation saw a need for providing advancement credits for their colleagues that didn’t cost more than the average teacher was comfortable paying. Given the vast breadth of topics that teachers can genuinely benefit from in refining and enhancing their craft, they wanted to make such enrichment to the profession affordable and accessible. Collectively, they have 30 years of teaching experience and over 200 advancement hours of their own! When not teaching high school students, they are busy raising and loving two young children in South Denver.
