The Association for Supervision
and Curriculum Development (ASCD), the leading international nonprofit
education leadership association, has selected Mrs. Ashley Catrett, Director of
Curriculum and Career/Technical Education in the Crenshaw County School System
for its 2012 Class of Emerging Leaders.
The emerging leaders program recognizes and prepares young, promising
educators to influence education programs, policy, and practice on both the
local and national levels.
The leaders are enrolled in the program
for two years and may be paired with an ASCD mentor including a Board of
Directors member, a Leadership Council member, an affiliate leader, or another
high-level contributor who will provide support and help guide their
development.
ASCD emerging leaders have
typically been in the profession five to 15 years, have a marked interest in
making a positive contribution to education policy and practice, and have
invested in professional growth opportunities aimed at improving student
outcomes.
Mrs. Catrett will attend ASCD’s
Leader to Leader Conference held in early July, where she will have the chance
to grow as an ASCD emerging leader and access new ideas, resources and
practices from ASCD leaders, presenters and staff.

Congratulations to Mrs. Ashley
Catrett and thank you for all that you do for the students of Crenshaw County!
