5 Things: September/October 2018

The work of a principal is never done. You do it all, and you love it. But even principals require support. We want to keep you in the know about how your Association is serving you while you serve kids. Here are five things you need to know about:

Winning!

NAESP’s Pre-K–3 Leadership Academy recently received a silver 2018 “Power of A” Award. Facilitated by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), the award recognizes associations that distinguish themselves with innovative programs and activities that positively impact America and the world. The leadership academy was launched in 2017 in Alabama and credentialed its first cohort in June 2018. Michigan began a cohort in April 2018, and the second Alabama cohort began in May 2018.
