Boogart, a doctoral education student at George Washington University, was picked for the Emerging Leaders program sponsored by ASCD (formerly known as the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development), an Alexandria education nonprofit. The program pairs young educators with mentors to guide their development. Boogart previously taught in Kansas City and Alexandria. What is the Emerging Leaders program?

ASCD is trying to target people who are early in their education careers. They’re trying to help those people develop leadership skills that they can then take into their communities. I felt this program might open up some doors to me. I’m really interested in D.C. Public Schools and federal efforts.
