      ASCD is saddened to announce the death of Arthur Combs, who served as ASCD President in 1966–67. A prominent teacher, consultant, and psychologist, Combs invented perceptual–experiential psychology, a systematic frame of reference for the study of persons. Combs was the editor of ASCD's landmark 1962 Yearbook, Perceiving, Behaving, Becoming: A New Focus for Education. One of his last books, On Becoming a School Leader: A Person-Centered Challenge, was published this year by ASCD. Combs died on March 21, 1999, at the age of 86.

      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.
