President's Message

Welcome to the Arizona affiliate of Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development. I am Paul Stanton, the President of AZ ASCD. AZ ASCD is made up of over 300 diverse local members: students, teachers, administrators, superintendents, university faculty and consultants to name a few.

We are an up and coming affiliate of the national ASCD. Our focus is on offering relevant professional development for our members. We are also focused on advocating for the needs of our members at the local, state and national levels. We are committed to making education the number one issue of all educational leaders in the state of Arizona.
Finally, we want to provide a venue for educators to network and discuss issues related to Arizona education.

Please come back to our website to see our upcoming events, check historical notes and find ways you too can be involved.
Thanks for being a member of AZ ASCD. Please tell a friend or colleague to join and make Arizona the premier state for education.

Sincerely,
Paul Stanton, Ed.D.
President of AZ ASCD

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.

Read for yourself!
