Annual Conference Tweet Up
If you’re attending the ASCD conference, join us at the #ASCD12 Tweet Up—
an in-person gathering of Twitter users—at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 24,
2012, for free appetizers and raffle prizes. It’s a great way to connect with ASCD
authors, ASCD staff, and fellow @ASCD followers. The tweet up will take place at
the Field House, a sports bar located inside the Philadelphia Convention Center at
1150 Filbert Street.

United States’ first national certification program for accomplished principals.

school districts.
In addition, ASCD will offer a variety of one-, two-, and three-day institutes

curriculum for 21st century learners, and implementing the Whole Child Initiative in schools. Speakers include Grant Wiggins, Heidi Hayes Jacobs, Baruti
