Investing in principal preparation is essential to school and student success. We cannot cut funding or requirements for internships and expect high-quality results. ednc.org/perspective-cutting…
Perspective | Cutting principal internships is a mistake our schools can’t afford

Perspective | Cutting principal internships is a mistake our schools can’t afford

The North Carolina Senate's budget proposal eliminates funding for internships and the requirement that principals complete one.

We had a great time sharing the importance of wellness for school leaders at the @NCASAtweets Conference. Leaders set the culture and serve as the example for students and teachers when they make wellness a priority for themselves.
