Sartell-St. Stephen Curriculum Coordinator Dr. Megan Rogholt has been named one of 10 Emerging Leaders from the Minnesota Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). The mission of Minnesota ASCD is to empower educators to achieve excellence in learning, teaching, and leading so that every child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. The Emerging Leaders program is designed to promote collaborative learning and sharing, create opportunities for leadership, and build a connection to national ASCD authors. 

This group of powerful educators is expected to support and promote the mission of Minnesota ASCD, participate in and contribute to regular cohort meetings, plan and deliver professional development to educators statewide, and mentor the next group of Emerging Leaders. This is the inaugural year for this program, and Minnesota ASCD is thrilled to attract such a qualified group.
