After months of searching for a graduate school, which would cater to my schedule of teaching five preps, as well as head coaching two sports, I found ACE. Yes, I had to give up a lot of "free time", but the benefits GREATLY outweighed the costs. I finished my M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction in May '12, well under the 18 months. Less than a month after finishing, I was in a job interview, and I received a remark, "M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction? You must be devoted to teaching." Which meant a lot to me to hear from a Principal.
If you are looking to take your teaching career to the next level, ACE is a great way to achieve your goal!
