Student Chapters

Meet like-minded educators to learn and grow together.

Invest in your professional development as an aspiring educator

The ASCD Student Chapter program is designed to accelerate preservice educators and student teachers' professional development and their self-identification as education professionals and leaders.

ASCD is committed to improving teacher education and teacher quality. By meaningfully engaging student teachers with ASCD resources and involving them with members of the ASCD community, future educators and leaders gain an edge that energizes and raises their professional performance level.

You can meet like-minded educators to learn and grow together on Connect, our online community.
