Consider applying for membership in the National Staff Development Council's (NSDC) Learning School Alliance, a network of 100 model schools committed to professional development practices that promote student achievement. Currently, there is a need for representatives from Iowa. Joining the Alliance would be a fantastic opportunity to showcase Iowa's successes in education and to collaborate with other schools in the nation. Visit the NSDC Web site at http://www.nsdc.org/alliance/ for more information. If you are interested in applying, please email NSDC at lsa@nsdc.org.
