WHO WE ARE

Virginia ASCD

Virginia ASCD, an affiliate of ASCD, is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to advancing excellence in Virginia’s schools. We are teachers, superintendents, university professors, school leaders, teacher education students, and central office leaders. We represent a variety of roles, and we share a single purpose- ensuring a world-class education for every Virginia student.

Each year, VASCD hosts outstanding professional learning opportunities for Virginia educators through our conferences, seminars, and networking forums. Through our advocacy work, we promote education policy that is driven by what we know about teaching and learning. Our publications and original content keep members informed and provide access to the work being done by Virginia educators.

Whether or not you are a member, we invite you to be part of our network by attending our events, getting to know your regional representative, supporting our advocacy work, and connecting with us via social media.
