An affiliate of ASCD Worldwide, the state association assists educators in the development and delivery of quality instructional programs and supervisory practices to maximize success for all learners.

“ASCD is the leading education organization in the world. I am honored to be elected to the New York State executive board. This position will help me influence policy decisions on the state level that will benefit small city school districts like Port Jervis,” says Bell. “It will also provide me with opportunities to bring more top-notch staff development opportunities to our part of the state.”
