Presented since 1990 by NAESP state affiliates, this workshop continues to receive outstanding reviews. Participants explore the peaks and valleys of a principal’s day-to-day life by prioritizing typical tasks from a principal’s in-basket and analyzing a log of daily activities. They review statistics and studies about the current roles and responsibilities inherent in elementary and middle school leadership, examine and affirm their own professional talents and interests and map personal career plans.
   Rated most valuable among the daily activities is the opportunity to interact with a panel of successful principals who share their own experiences as administrators and respond to questions from workshop participants. Teachers and resource personnel identified by their principals to participate in this enriching opportunity have a head start on becoming capable leaders of tomorrow’s schools. The seminar is being held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost is $150. Lunch is provided.

   Developed at the request of NAESP’s state affiliates, this workshop is designed as a follow-up for persons who have participated in Previewing the Principalship or who already have some administrative experience or training. Workshop activities focus on how to develop an effective resume, assemble a professional portfolio and develop strategies for a winning interview. Through examination of credentials and resumes of hypothetical candidates, participants learn to identify what should and should not be included in their own resumes and portfolios, as well as which formats will best showcase their experience, skills and abilities.
   As in the first workshop, a panel of outstanding principals provides guidance - this time through a simulated interview and interactive debriefing session. Aspiring principals who left Previewing the Principalship convinced that this is the career they want, will leave Getting the Job-Done Right! with enhanced skills for pursuing this important professional goal. The seminar runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the cost is $150. Lunch is provided.

   You are invited to a "one-of-a-kind" workshop for first- and second-year K-12 principals. This workshop will be tailored to your needs. Experienced, on-line principals will be presenting ideas and leading discussions. A panel of expert principals is available to answer all of your questions.
   A sample of possible topics include team building, decision making, communication and dealing with change. What makes this workshop different than others is the fact that you have the ability to set the agenda to meet your individual needs. The seminar is from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the cost is $150. Lunch is provided.
