ASCD Educator Effectiveness Institutes are presented by noted ASCD authors and experts—Jay McTighe, Grant Wiggins, William Parrett, Kathleen Budge, Pete Hall, and others—who will share research-based instructional strategies that you can put into practice immediately to improve student achievement. Topics include differentiated instruction, turning high-poverty schools into high-performing schools, effective teaching, teacher leadership, and student engagement.
Sessions begin November 2014 (new dates and locations are added regularly). Visit www.ascd.org/institutes for the latest schedule.
… And advocates make a difference! Register now for ASCD's 2015 Leadership Institute for Legislative Advocacy (LILA), January 25–27, in Washington, D.C. Your expertise matters to education policymakers at every level, and LILA provides you with the training, tools, and confidence to make your voice heard.
This year's featured keynote speaker is Chris Matthews, the high-octane host of MSNBC's Hardball; he will share his inside knowledge of national politics, muse about the new Congress, and give tips for getting your issue to rise to the fore among decision makers.
At LILA, you will learn how to share your personal stories and expertise so that you become a credible resource for policymakers. Additionally, you will hear examples of how your colleagues have brought about changes that positively affect schools and students, and you will get support in identifying your own next steps so that decisions happen with you and not to you. Join us for LILA 2015! Visit www.ascd.org/lila to register.
LILA 2014 attendees Roberta Tenney and Rebecca Gagnon meet U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Conference attendees discussed education issues with dozens of political luminaries, including members of Congress.
