ASCD Scholars Call for Discussion Topics
Last year, ASCD launched a group discussion series led by a cohort of educators from around the world and with varying job titles. We're excited to announce that the ASCD Conference Scholars are back, with a new group of educators joining last year's team.

In Case You Missed It
Last week is looong gone, but these ASCD activities still have us talking:

In Is Anybody Asking the Kids?, Michael Fisher notes that student voices are sorely lacking from education debates. He sets up a few questions for kids and a Google Docs spreadsheet for you to add your students' voices to.
