Join Us in Celebrating the First-Annual
Future Educators Month!

AWSP, with support from longstanding business partner Inspirus Credit Union, is excited to declare February 2019 Future Educators Month in Washington state!

Educators understand the importance of sustaining and increasing the pipeline of teachers and principals. We want Future Educators Month to inspire high school and college students to become teachers, and for teachers with a passion for leadership to become principals.

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.

Teacher and Student Survey: Win a Prize!

If you're a teacher or student who was handed a "key," (or even if you're just interested in learning more about going further in the education field!) fill out this super-quick survey. You'll be entered to win a gift card from us!

A Workshop for Future Leaders

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's Future School Leaders Day on February 6! We had a successful day meeting with teachers, instructional coaches, TOSAs, counselors, and even students who are interested in exploring options for taking their career to the next level.

If you missed this year's event but are interested in attending one in the future, let us know! Contact Macy Bruhy to be put on a notification list. You'll be the first to hear when we schedule the next Future School Leaders Day.
