Sign up for the Leadership Institute for Legislative Advocacy (LILA), which will be held January 27–29, 2013, in Washington, D.C. LILA is the premier forum for educators from across the United States—including teachers, principals, superintendents, district personnel, and university professors—to learn about federal and state education issues and advocate for policies that support successful learning and teaching.
Diane Ravitch, the renowned education historian, author, and professor, will share her thoughts on the current state of education reform, the policy and communications challenges educators face, and how these obstacles can be overcome to prepare students to be college-, career-, and citizenship-ready.
Learn about ASCD's 2013 Legislative Agenda, which outlines the association's policy goals and vision for the coming year; gain insight about what Common Core State Standards implementation and the No Child Left Behind waivers mean for the profession; and hear the latest news regarding federal funding for education. Finally, make sure your voice is heard on Capitol Hill by visiting with federal policymakers.

Can't make it to LILA this year? You can still make your voice heard as an ASCD Educator Advocate. ASCD's Educator Advocates program empowers educators to speak up and help shape our nation's future.
