Connecting the Classroom to the Capitol

Educators, bring your message to Capitol Hill!

ASCD's annual advocacy event, the LEAP Legislative Institute, September 13–15, 2009, in Arlington, Va, will bring you up to speed on the status of stimulus funding, pending changes to the No Child Left Behind Act, and other federal initiatives that affect students and schools.

Engaging speakers, including White House education policy advisor Roberto Rodriguez and author and journalist Gwen Ifill will explain today's political scene and the opportunities you have to frame the debate on education issues. Then, ASCD staff will prepare you to take your message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill and continue your policy discussions at the local and state levels.

Don't miss this opportunity to speak out in support of the education policies that are best for kids. Register today!
