Since 1943, ASCD has empowered educators by providing essential programs, products, and services that support the success of each student. Through the years, ASCD's focus has stayed the same: to improve the quality of learning for each student and to provide our leaders with innovative, cutting-edge resources. And as technology advances, ASCD embraces the new possibilities.In our 70th year, the 2013 ASCD Annual Report, titled "The Promise of Leadership: Sustaining Learning, Transforming Teaching," is a web-based, narrative story of ASCD's work and features voices from our past, present, and future. The visually stunning site hosts four videos and provides high-level overviews of the association's membership, constituents, and conferences and events. We encourage you to explore the many stories in the report's three categories: sustaining, transforming, and leading.
All educators want to improve the work they do for students, their families, and the community. Whether it's instruction, school climate, leadership, family engagement, or any of the other issues schools face on a daily basis, all educators need tools to help them improve their actions and methods. A whole child approach, which ensures that each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged, sets the standard for comprehensive, sustainable school improvement and provides for long-term student success.
