My fav quote from today's @AWSP_Principals CEO Network comes from a veteran HS principal who has been 'principaling' for a long time. When asked how long he'll keep working. His answer? "When I stop dreaming about what is possible for all of my kids." #cpchat @NAESP @NASSP

So grateful for the community & creativity I’ve found here. It’s an honor to be part of your journeys & thank you for being in mine! 🫶
If we haven’t met yet, hi! I’m a Lower YA author passionate about filling the MG/YA gap. I write stories of hope, adventure & a bit of magic ✨
Lori Hayes kicking off our Summer Conference with a message about hope and resilience. Pushing us to reflect on our roles to be hope dealers in our schools and districts. #awspwasa24
Ever see a line this long to be the first 100 in the Conference Exhibit Hall? Big prizes await! #awspwasa24
After a long hiatus from SM, no better way to jump back in with the kickoff of our annual #awspwasa24 Summer Conference. School leaders gather from across the state to reflect, learn, and prepare to lead HOPE back in their schools and districts.
Nice work Mr. Broome! Leading by relationships! Well done! @AWSP_Principals #createhope @NASSP @NAESP #cpchat #waedu

I got simple, but great advice from the @MicrosoftEDU team about keeping our digital meeting sanity. Hour long mtgs should be 45 mins w/ 15 min break. 30 min meetings should be 25 mins w/ a 5 min break. This is self-care. Hey @AWSP_Principals, fix your schedules next week! #waedu
Thanks for the reminder! School culture is so, so, so important. This speaks to the @WSUCougars nation and world! #GoCougs @WSU_Cougar_Pres
Pre-order by 5/22 @ 10 am #CougFamily-We worked w/ @CH_CougStore to get t-shirts made w/ Coug logo & each of our 6 campuses. Pre-order your shirts below. T-shirt proceeds go to @WSU_Foundation Student Emergency Funds on each campus. #GoCougs #WSUTogether collegehillcustomthreads.com…
Thanks for tuning in and joining our conversation about @kidsathope. There has never been a more important time than right now to stress the importance of student-adult relationships and hope in our schools. We have a chance to rebuild public education with #HOPE at the center.
So inspired! Attending Kids at Hope webinar captured in this quote: "Hope is not a feeling. It's a strategy." - Rick Miller @kidsathope Thanks Rick and Dr. Scott Seaman. This is EXACTLY the message we need today! @Scott_Awsp #Hopeisachoice #leadfromtheheart #relationshipsfirst
Amen to that! Principal leadership has always mattered, but matters even more now. Thank you incredible principals, assistant principals and other school leaders for another amazing week of digital leadership. @AWSP_Principals @NAESP @NASSP #createhope
TGIF school principals!
You deserve a toast. 🥂

Thank you @AWSP_Principals Board for a great meeting yesterday. Your leadership, involvement in AWSP, and commitment to school leaders in our state is extraordinary. Together we can and will make sure the AWSP Torch is bright now and for years to come! #createhope @waOSPI #waedu
Super excited for today’s @AWSP_Principals Spring Board meeting. Never ever imagined that this would be our current reality, but here we go. Great school leaders coming together to build the future of principaling in our state. Principal leadership matters. #createhope #waedchat
Our kids are missing the face to face connections with adults that literally save lives. Let’s think big about how we maintain those relationships now to the end of the year AND into whatever the system looks like next fall. We must #createhope! Relationships matter! @waOSPI
"Our kids are hurting because of the loss of face-to-face connections and relationships with the adults in the physical safety of their schools". @Scott_AWSP reflects on the importance of relationships, and how they matter even more now: bit.ly/2WaEvAI

For today's shout out to teachers who impacted my life/career, I'd like to recognize Prof. Ana María Rodríguez Vivaldi and Prof Eloy González from @WSUPullman who opened my eyes to the world of Spanish language, history and culture. #TeacherAppreciationWeek #waedu #GoCougs
It wasn't until my junior year of high school that I developed confidence in a math class. Mrs. Minton, Algebra II, cracked the code for me. She was a life changer! I'll never forget her belief, influence and forever impact. #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 @WACSTP @AWSP_Principals
This has been a concern of ours for the last few years w/ increasing demands, more trauma, fewer resources, and pay compression. Your numbers speak the truth facing school leaders now and in the future. This should be a collective urgency in our system! @AWSP_Principals #waedu
The last 2 yrs, the # of participants in admin prep programs across the region is down. A LOT. I don't have precise numbers (do you @Scott_AWSP?) but it's a growing concern. We must ensure that all students, staff, and families are served by well prepared leaders. @HpsLeadership
I can think of many teachers who influenced my life, but one for sure stands out in launching me into the education profession. I became a Spanish teacher because of Señor Kuhl. Here's how and why his impact is forever... #TeacherAppreciationWeek #waedu awsp.org/docs/default-source…
Thank you to those principals who keep tuning into our weekly @AWSP_Principals Zoom Office Hours. Friday's at 2:00 PM. What a great way to connect w/ us, connect w/ other leaders from around the state, and share your stories of distance learning leadership. Your voice matters!
Today’s Friday Funny: I’m smiling in this picture because my @WSUCougars face mask arrived AND I’m sporting one of my favorite @kidsathope T-shirts. Thanks to all of our @AWSP_Principals who continually lead with hope and relationships first! #createhope
Happy Friday to all of the hard working school leaders out there. Your job was daunting before and only more challenging now. Your leadership matters and carries a forever impact. Never forget that! Happy #SchoolPrincipalsDay! @AWSP_Principals @NAESP @NASSP #createhope #waedu
