We Need Your Voice!
To create a responsive education
system, we must support innovation
and ensure that 21st century learning
takes place at all levels of schooling.
Recently, ASCD educator advocates
and whole child supporters sent more
than 1,000 letters to members of
Congress supporting the Secondary
School Education Innovation Fund Act
(formerly the GRADUATES Act). Introduced in May 2009, the bill will help
promote creative policies and effective
programs that will improve the
secondary school experience, reduce
dropout rates, and promote 21st
century skills. You can help by urging
your senators and representatives to
support this bill. To learn more about
ASCD’s legislative agenda, go to
