Looking for Emerging Leaders
ASCD is seeking education professionals with 5 to 15 years of experience who are interested in becoming active in ASCD for the first time. Emerging leaders pursue a variety of leadership paths throughout the two-year program, including getting more involved in education policy, writing for ASCD, pursuing leadership positions with ASCD governance and constituent groups, and supporting the Whole Child Initiative.
ASCD is accepting applications until April 1, 2012; accepted applicants will be notified in May. For more information and to apply, visit www.ascd.org/emergingleaders.
