Cherith Roberts is an award-winning school administrator who most recently served as an assistant principal with Holston View Elementary School in Bristol, Tennessee. To augment and inform her professional endeavors, Cherith Roberts holds active membership in the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD).
Representing approximately 115,000 members, ASCD strives to help superintendents, principals, instructors, and other educational advocates promote excellence in teaching. In its recently-released 2018 Legislative Agenda, the organization calls upon educational professionals of all designations to increase engagement with leaders at every level in an effort to shape policies that support inclusive and holistic learning.
The Legislative Agenda makes recommendations in three key areas. In an effort to address gaps in professional development, the ASCD stresses the importance of providing educators with the continuing education and leadership training opportunities that they need to succeed. The ASCD also makes a series of resource equity recommendations to reduce the educational disparities that currently exist between high-income and low-income families. Last, the Legislative Agenda’s “Whole Child, Whole School, Whole Community” itinerary encourages families and communities at large to join forces with teachers to ensure that every generation is well educated.
