Welcome to AZ ASCD – the premier professional organization for educators in the state of Arizona. AZ ASCD is the Arizona affiliate of ASCD International that works to bring the expertise and resources of ASCD and apply them to challenges and opportunities we are facing locally. With over 400 members, we bring teachers, administrators, higher education faculty, and others who are committed to education together for professional development offerings, networking events, sharing of research, and advocacy. In June, the Executive Board met to update our strategic plan and set a focus for the 09-10 fiscal year. The success of the affiliate depends on the involvement of our members. I invite each of you to check our website regularly for updates, to attend events offered by the affiliate, to volunteer your time and talents through membership in the affiliate and on our various committees, and to contact us when you have questions and concerns. Our mission of facilitating learner success by providing educators with leadership and support can only be accomplished with your involvement.

Arizona Budget Crisis
Brian Mee, Pendergast School District, has developed a White Paper on P-12 Funding Issue to help the state get through this severe budget crisis. He has worked with folks across Arizona and some key technical people in preparing this paper and validating the information.
This is an effort to present a positive short-term solution that could assist the State through the 2010 budget shortfall. This proposal was presented at the Flagstaff meeting of the House Education Committee.
