The National School Development Council is a confederation
of school study or development councils located across the country.
Basically, the Council embodies all philosophic and operational
tenets of the school study and development council movement. Each
of these regional, state, or county-based councils is, in turn,
an association of local school systems that work together - usually
in conjunction with one or more institutions of higher learning
- on matters of common concern.
The councils are a grassroots effort to improve educators' skills and knowledge. Their activities range from publications and research assistance to conferences, professional development activities and special services such as executive searching. |
Chartered in 1969 as a nonprofit organization in
the state of Massachusetts, the National School Development Council
provides study councils and their executive directors with a national-level
organization that can serve as an advocate for local school interests and study
council concerns. It is a loose confederation that operates on the concept of
"pooling" and "sharing" resources.
At a time when education is faced with upheavals and splintering of group solidarity, as powerful interest groups compete for limited resources, the Council remains a cooperative and unifying force, helping all interested educators to seek ways to improve education at all levels. |
