The Premier Network for Future-Focused Educators

Grounded in the foundational work of the AASA Learning 2025 National Commission and inspired by the commission’s report, An American Imperative: A New Vision of Public Schools, the AASA Learning 2025 Network aims to transform education, enhance student achievement and ensure no learner is marginalized.

More than just a report or a professional learning program, AASA Learning 2025 is about empowering you – our educational leaders – with:

personalized strategic support;
evidence-based resources;
learning opportunities; and,
the meaningful connections you need to make an impact in your district today.

Join colleagues as we actively shape the future of public education.

One of the most valuable aspects of AASA right now is the initiative for Learning 2025. Being a part of that initiative has offered me more opportunity than I could have imagined to figure out 'how do we move our schools forward, how do we support the whole child, how do we have future-driven schools, and how do we make sure that no child, not even one, is marginalized'.
