KASCD Acknowledges Excellence

Each year the Kansas Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (KASCD) takes time to recognize the contributions of individuals working as curriculum leaders, teachers, educators, and assessment leaders.

The presentation of awards, scholarships and grants each year at the annual KASCD Luncheon, gives our membership a chance to hear about and acknowledge the great work being done on behalf of each learner in the state of Kansas.
