This year, we’re joining forces with NAESP to offer a comprehensive preK–12 experience, uniting school leaders under one roof for an unparalleled learning extravaganza. Aptly named UNITED, this conference promises the insights, strategies, and inspiration you need in your leadership journey.
Several of the articles in this issue of Principal Leadership highlight some of the leadership strands the conference will cover: Building Leadership Capacity; Instructional Leadership; Leveraging Student Voice and Agency; School Climate, Culture and Inclusivity; and Whole School Wellness. Written by a few of our conference speakers, these articles preview just a bit of the learning that’s in store.
Our stellar lineup of keynote speakers gracing the main stage, include Bestselling Author Jon Gordon, NBC News’ Chief Education Correspondent Rehema Ellis, and American Educator Sal Khan, each delivering powerful messages tailored to your work. Kickstart your learning journey with pre-conference sessions on topics ranging from team leadership with Robyn R. Jackson to AI in schools with Jason Feig, and everything in between.
At NASSP, our mission is clear: to foster a generation of courageous school leaders who champion equity and excellence for every student. We’re here to support you every step of the way, providing a platform for professional growth, networking, and collective efficacy.
As we bid farewell to the 2023–24 school year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, the unsung heroes of education. Your dedication and courage inspire us all. Get ready to elevate your leadership game in Nashville. We can’t wait to see you there!
