Join us on Nov. 2, 3, and 5, 2022 for an engaging multi-day virtual convening open to practicing school leaders in early childhood education. Utilizing A Principals Guide to Early Learning and the Early Grades as a framework, NAESP, with support from the Foundation for Child Development, will host a three-day (12 hour) virtual event that will give school leaders in early childhood the tools, resources and strategies to be successful in leading Pre-K–3rd Grade continuums in their schools.

Goals of the Convening

1. Provide quality early childhood content to support principals’ knowledge, skills, and leadership in Pre-K–3d grade learning.
2. Advance research-based, turnkey practices that principals can implement in their schools.
3. Build a strong network of principal influencers who feel empowered to amplify their individual voices in the early childhood space.
