The National Staff Development Council (NSDC) recently announced a name change to become Learning Forward. As an affiliate of Learning Forward, the Florida Association of Staff Development (FASD) enjoys a close relationship with professional development leaders from across the country.

Like Learning Forward, our work focuses on professional learning. We are a thriving professional association of learning educators committed to effective practice, research, and advocacy. We define professional development as a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to improving teachers' and principals' effectiveness in raising student achievement. Our vision for the future is straightforward: Every educator engages in effective professional learning every day so every student achieves.
