Motivating and Advocating for Elementary School Principals

MISSION: MAESP will assist in the development of effective elementary school principals by providing creative resources and high quality opportunities for leadership, learning and networking.

VISION 2021 FOR THE PROFESSION (Adopted from NAESP Vision 2021):

Principals have the vision, courage, wisdom and professional knowledge to lead learning communities that create opportunities for all children to achieve their highest potential. Principals ensure that all children have a meaningful foundation for learning. We empower children to become global citizens who can learn and work together.

Principals are recognized as advocates for learning in a society that depends on knowledge, character and talent. We accept that responsibility and utilize leadership to facilitate change. Principals are trusted to speak passionately for schools and effective systems of learning that serves all children.

Principals promote excellence in a profession that values collaboration and diversity. We seek knowledge and share best practices through a network of colleagues. Principals mentor each other and celebrate accomplishments together. We inspire other leaders to follow in a career rich in its contributions to all children and society.
