About the Publisher

ISTE+ASCD's award-winning professional learning resources blend research with practical strategies to support transformational learning experiences for all students.

Our mission is to empower and equip educators at every stage of their careers to create high-quality, student-centered, and future-ready learning environments for their students. We publish across a wide range of topics that matter most to today’s educators—instructional leadership, curriculum design, digital citizenship, differentiation, assessment, classroom technology, classroom management, inclusion, and more. Our readers include classroom teachers, instructional coaches, technology coordinators, school and district leaders, and pre-service educators preparing to enter the profession.

Our books are highly valued for the following five qualities:

  • Original: Our books showcase new ideas, diverse perspectives, worldwide viewpoints, and fresh information. They do not state the obvious, parrot conventional wisdom, or rely too heavily on others’ ideas. Our books are written by a practitioner or thought leader, not AI.
  • Evidence-based: Our books are supported by evidence and research and are grounded in authentic classroom and school experiences. References are up-to-date and reflect current thought in the field.
  • Practical: Our books provide actionable guidance and strategies that educators can apply to improve their practice and student outcomes.
  • Specific: Our books avoid generalities and include real-world examples, innovative tools, and inspiring stories to illustrate the advice.
  • Conversational: Our books are engaging, unpretentious, and free of jargon.

We are always looking for new voices and welcome unsolicited proposals. We do not publish content generated by artificial intelligence.
