ASCD TITLES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) is an international organization widely recognized for helping educators define, support, and engage in the development of highly effective learning systems. ASCD is dedicated to excellence in learning, teaching, and leading. From the first day of teacher prep to the last day on the job, ASCD supports educators at every position and title throughout their years of service. Committed to helping educators enhance their skills and roles, ASCD provides high-quality, research-based resources and support that educators can trust.

These PD titles are digitally available on Gale’s eBook platform. With Gale eBooks: Professional Learning, administrators can support the 4 Pillars of Effective PD and provide continuing professional development that’s personalized, job embedded, tied to evaluations, and sustainable. Plus, schools have the option to upgrade their ASCD professional learning collections with alignments to the Danielson Framework for Teaching, the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model, and others. It all begins by putting thousands of titles from expert authors and publishers, like ASCD, at users’ fingertips.
