Who We Are

How we partner with International ASCD

NCASCD is a long established, well organized association and is the premier organization which cuts across job titles in enlisting all categories of educators in the improvement of educational opportunities for children. The resulting synergy ignites a common goal - the best interest of students everywhere. This vantage point is the foundation for NCASCD's long standing reputation as a prime source for critical thinking and unbiased information about education. We serve educators all across NC and our Regional Presidents help us lead across the state.

NCASCD is an independent state unit affiliated with International ASCD through a compatible constitution and participation in the governance of ASCD through membership on its Board of Directors. Since its inception in 1943, ASCD has faced the challenge, unique among major education groups, of a membership base with an extensive variety of concerns and interests. 

The educational professional and students who comprise the ASCD family often have compelling needs and perspectives. Yet, ASCD's multi-million budget enables the association to provide quality service to all its members despite the continual expansion of that base. ASCD's overarching belief that all students can succedd in a challenging, well-planned educational program is shared by nearly 200,000 members worldwide.
