The ASD’s staff development team in cooperation with the University of Alaska Anchorage's Office of Professional and Continuing Education (UAA-PACE) coordinate this annual professional learning event on behalf of Alaska’s PK-12 educators. ASDSA is open for all educators to participate.

Offering 80+ professional development courses and designed for teachers of all subjects & grade levels, ASDSA is the largest staff development event in the state of Alaska.  These are 1-4 credit, 500 level UAA courses, useful for recertification and ASD salary advancement.  They are all offered within our framework of 4 blocks of two days each.
