NAESP’s Advocacy Priorities on Capitol Hill
Secure robust federal funding for programs like Title II, Part A, that support the preparation, training, and support of principals.
Advocate for professional development and mentoring programs that strengthen principals’ knowledge of early childhood education and provide federal funding streams for high-quality early education.
Reauthorize the Higher Education Act to improve principal recruitment, preparation, and retention and include provisions to boost clinical-oriented preparation to help principals better meet the day-to-day challenges in schools.
