The Iowa ASCD Board is hosting a professional opportunity on February 6, 2013 in which participants will learn how to leverage change with legislators. Registration is $50 for members of Iowa ASCD and $90 for non-members. Upon registration you will receive access to tools for advocacy and influence, including talking points for major issues (e.g., competency-based instruction, readers by third grade, kindergarten readiness, instructional time, teacher and principal evaluation), sample letter and telephone script for contacting your legislators, and a rubric to evaluate your skills in advocacy. Iowa ASCD will also provide contact information about your legislators so that you may schedule visits "on the hill" as part of this opportunity. You will also receive a $50 coupon for future event of your choice at Iowa ASCD.
