Give 'Em Your Keys
Somewhere in your school there is a teacher with the skills to become an amazing principal, and a student with the skills to become an amazing teacher. If you know one of these teachers or students, "give 'em your keys” by showing them support and encouraging them to take a closer look at the principalship or education as a career.
Passing along the key is a symbolic act. We’ve had an informal “Give ’Em Your Keys” campaign for a while. We recently sent principals and assistant principals die-cut keys in the mail, encouraging them to pass them along to a teacher in their school with the skills to lead who always do what’s best for kids.
