The future of learning is now. As school divisions in Virginia navigate a world shaped by rapid change, evolving technologies, and complex global challenges, today's students need more than just content knowledge—they need critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity and citizenship agency. At the Virginia School Consortium for Learning (VaSCL), we’re leaning into that future with purpose, designing professional learning that equips educators to prepare students not only for the next assessment —but for life, work, and citizenship in an ever-changing world.
As more than 90 member divisions head into the 2025 school year, VaSCL is thrilled to launch a fresh year of high-impact, opportunity-centered professional learning. We’re focused on unlocking student potential by ensuring that every learner experiences instruction that is rigorous, challenging, and deeply engaging—and every educator feels supported, connected, and empowered.
Grounded in our vision to help educators become the best versions of themselves—so that all children access the learning they need— VASCL prioritizes what matters most:
- Cultivating professional networks that connect and inspire
- Building school cultures of trust and innovation
- Promoting accelerated and inclusive instruction for all learners
- Strengthening core content instruction and classroom practice
- Developing and using balanced assessments that align with high expectations and real-world learning
