IL ASCD was formed in 1947. Our organization is interested in issues, trends, and research that relate to learning, teaching and leading. We offer leadership institutes, workshops, and programs that focus on the quality of teaching and learning. Programs can be tailored to meet the needs of schools or districts and address curriculum development, instruction, assessment, grading and/or supervision. IL ASCD continues to expand its operation and is the essential "go to" organization for educational leaders in Illinois.
