ASCD Student Chapters


Student Chapter Handbook

Written specifically with your needs in mind, the ASCD Student Chapter Handbook (PDF) is a valuable resource in planning and developing your chapter activities.

Drawing from the experiences of a number of current chapters, the handbook offers strategies for membership recruitment and retention, fundraising, and chapter governance. It also includes samples and ideas for activities you can implement to provide your members with effective professional development.

The ASCD Student Chapter Program is designed to accelerate the professional growth of preservice educators and their self-identification as education professionals and leaders. ASCD is committed to improving teacher education and teacher quality. By meaningfully engaging student teachers with ASCD resources and involving them with members of the ASCD community, future educators and leaders gain an edge that energizes and raises their professional performance level.

Together with their class work, membership in an ASCD Student Chapter helps students begin to learn how and where they might fit into their chosen profession. Membership also establishes the link between the classroom and their first jobs as they transition into a career in education. Students will receive opportunities to experience leadership, meet education professionals informally, participate in professional development programs, and develop contacts for internships and future career opportunities.

Chapters may form on the campuses of community colleges, colleges, and universities with accredited education programs.
