NAESP and 100+ organizations urged Congress to increase Title II funding by $210 million in FY27 to address 411,000+ unfilled or under-qualified teaching positions, declining entry into the profession, and elevated principal turnover. #PrincipalsAdvocate https://t.co/uEHnGRpp5z

3 amazing leaders!!

[ᗰᕮᒪISSᗩ ᗪ. ᑭᗩTSᑕᕼKᕮ, ᕮᗪ.ᗪ. @MelissaPatschke]

At @NAESP, we know strong leadership begins with connection & continues from the heart.

In Hawaiian culture, Wendy, Derek, & Naomi have taught us, the spirit of Aloha is far more than a greeting. It reflects compassion, respect, connection, responsibility, and the belief that people thrive when they care deeply for one another.

School leaders across the country live that spirit through the way they welcome students, support families, encourage teachers, and create schools where every child feels valued and safe.

[ᗰᕮᒪISSᗩ ᗪ. ᑭᗩTSᑕᕼKᕮ, ᕮᗪ.ᗪ. @MelissaPatschke]

Great school leaders like @jennihayesedu don’t grow alone.

Across the country, @NAESP principals are connecting, sharing ideas, solving challenges, and lifting one another up through the power of a national Pre-K–8 leadership network.

From hallway conversations to national conferences, webinars, and communities of practice, meaningful growth happens when leaders learn from leaders who truly understand the work!

That’s the power of the NAESP network.

A principal’s influence reaches far beyond the school walls. From shaping school culture to advocating for children at the national level, Pre-K–8 leaders carry the heart of their communities every single day.
