Planning the Possible: How Schools Can Use Stimulus Dollars for Lasting Impact

This publication is a result of ASCD leaders considering the confluence of events—the recession, the new administration, and the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act—and deciding to act.

As decision makers around the country face difficult choices about how best to serve their educators, students, and community, ASCD is here to assist.

We provide explanations of how the funding in the stimulus package is to be used; what sustained capacity building professional development can do to improve student achievement in individual schools, districts, and states; and what resources are available to help educators along the way.
