Attend our final forum of the year!
Your Voice. Your Influence. Your Career.
Thanks to all of you who attended our Winter Forum in February. Over 150 school leaders joined some crucial conversations with colleagues around the current legislative session, recess, attendance policies, supporting marginalized populations, high
school graduation requirements, and other hot topics.
Why should you join our 1-hour forum when you are pulled in a thousand different directions? When asked about positive takeaways, attendees' top response was the appreciation for the legislative update. In today's
Legislative Update by Dr. Scott Seaman,
he states,
"We (AWSP) exist to support principals as a means
to the same goal we all have in K-12 education: for all of our students to have hope. Today, we find ourselves in one of the most challenging spots in the history of our association, specifically regarding the two “principal bills",
Senate Bills 5085 and 5175."
We understand your need to be informed about the decisions being made that directly affect you!
At the Winter Forum, we also heard:
"I appreciated the conversations with colleagues and learning about their systems. We do not have time to do this often."
"Hearing that others are facing similar challenges. Leading a secondary building is extra challenging right now."
"Connecting and networking with colleagues in our region; sharing tips and strategies in a collaborative format."
"If we are going to improve the profession, and seriously consider the concept of organizational versus instructional leadership tracks, we have to meet on a regular basis."
"Getting to hear from other principals in our area about what concerns they are having and successes they are seeing."
We also listened to your ideas for future forums. Your voice is critical in helping us improve your role in education and support you through your career, so we've planned AWSP's Spring Forum accordingly. This is your opportunity to connect regionally
with other school leaders as you plan the wrapping up of your school year.
Spring Forum Focus:
- What JUST happened in the 2023 legislative session, specifically Senate Bills 5085 and
5175?
- What are some ways you successfully close out the school year? Activities, events, appreciation, nuts and bolts, etc.
