AASA Learning 2025

Forward to the Future
We want you to envision a future – a future where education is not just a system but an innovative, vibrant, and transformative force. This is not just a dream but a reality we are striving to create through AASA’s Learning 2025 Network.
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 turn this bold vision into reality by empowering you, the public school superintendents and district leaders, to drive that change.
Join colleagues as we actively shape the future of public education.
We are on the cusp of a new era in public education. Superintendents nationwide are joining together through the Learning 2025 Network to take a future-driven approach to transform public education.David R. Schuler, Ph.D.![]()

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'.
