Emerging Leaders

We are committed to engaging a diverse community and building capacity to improve learning, teaching, and leadership. In its quest to build capacity, ASCD has designed the Emerging Leaders program to prepare younger, diverse educators for potential influence and ASCD leadership. A new cadre of emerging leaders is selected annually. 

This leadership program equips new leaders to

  • Advance ASCD positions.
  • Strengthen ASCD's voice for influencing policy and practice.
  • Become involved in ASCD governance.
  • Grow as servant leaders.

Applications for the Emerging Leaders program are now being accepted.

The window for nominating a candidate to be considered for the 2019 Class of ASCD Emerging Leaders is open May 1–June 30, 2019. To nominate an educator, please complete this form by June 28, 2019. Self-nominations are not accepted.
