When I was an assistant principal, the best advice my principal ever gave me was to join NAESP. The networking with principals I have met from across the United States has helped me to be the educational leader that I am today. Through their advice and suggestions, I have continued to learn new strategies that have made a huge impact on student achievement at the school where I have the good fortune as serving as the principal for the past 13 years. The Report to Parents is a great resource to share with parents to help them meet the educational needs of their children.   The annual National Principals Conference allows me to learn from the best practitioners in the world while also spending time sharing and growing with my colleagues and friends. I encourage any aspiring principal, assistant principal, and principal to join NAESP and observe first-hand the difference it will make in your professional and personal life.
