An Empowering Issue

EL magazine [got] a huge shout out at American Association of School Librarians State Level Leaders meeting. So much of what school librarians do aligns perfectly with the goals of administrators!

Awesome Assessment

Great article by Myron Dueck on assessment ["Fishing for the Right Assessment Language"]. Challenges your thinking on feedback and using percentage grades. Highly recommend reading it.

Power and Privilege

I loved Dena Simmons's column, "Who Has the Privilege to Be Empowered?" in this month's
EL magazine. My son spotted it open on the counter, and we read it together and had a very powerful conversation about race, privilege, and power.

Dena Simmons speaking the lingua franca of diversity/equity/inclusion in schools today. She is a present-tense voice of clarity for a world in need of champions.

Special Issues from Educational Leadership

This is the last print issue of EL until September. But don't miss our important new digital-only issues. On April 15, we published "A New Reality: Getting Remote Learning Right," a collection of exclusive articles and features on teaching and learning during the coronavirus crisis.

On June 23, we will publish our regularly scheduled digital-only summer issue on time-management in schools, a perfect primer for the upcoming school year. Read both of these special issues online at www.ascd.org/el 

To purchase back issues of EL, go to www.ascd.org/elbackissues.

EL’s experienced team of writers and editors produces Educational Leadership magazine, an award-winning publication that reaches hundreds of thousands of K-12 educators and leaders each year. Our work directly supports the mission of ASCD: To empower educators to achieve excellence in learning, teaching, and leading so that every child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
