AWSP Highlights


  • Mixed Results for First Year of MSP/HSPE
    Students' assessment scores from spring 2010 were mixed when compared to spring 2009, Supt. Randy Dorn reported Aug. 31, 2010. Why so many ups and downs? Increased cuts to education and transition to the state's new exams, says Dorn.

  • Now Available from CISL: 'Let's Talk About It'
    Time to order copies of "Let's Talk About It," a booklet that helps families initiate important conversations with school staff. The booklet is ideal for parent orientations, covering communication, attendance, state testing and other issues. Principals can also order postcards--perfect for sending a greeting to families at the beginning of the school year.

  • Register Now for the AWSP Principals' Conference!
    Registration is now available for the 2010 AWSP Principals' Conference, happening Oct. 3-5 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. This year's conference theme is "GPS: Great Principal Strategies."

  • What Do Principals Have in Common with Shirley Sherrod?
    Sherrod was not asked for "the rest of the story," and neither were principals in low-performing schools; in both cases, careers were profoundly affected. Read more from AWSP Executive Gary Kipp in a piece recently published by The Seattle Times.
