Today’s Friday Funny: I’m smiling in this picture because my ⁦Washington State Cougars⁩ face mask arrived AND I’m sporting one of my favorite ⁦Rick Miller⁩ T-shirts. Thanks to all of our ⁦AWSP⁩ who continually lead with hope and relationships first! #createhope

Thank you to those principals who keep tuning into our weekly AWSP 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!

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-s…

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 #waedu

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 CSTP AWSP

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 WSU Pullman who opened my eyes to the world of Spanish language, history and culture. #TeacherAppreciationWeek #waedu #GoCougs

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! WA State OSPI

Super excited for today’s AWSP 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

Thank you AWSP 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 WA State OSPI #waedu

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.

Thanks for tuning in and joining our conversation about Rick Miller. 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.

Thanks for the reminder! School culture is so, so, so important. This speaks to the Washington State Cougars nation and world! #GoCougs WSU Office of the President

I got simple, but great advice from the Microsoft Education 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, fix your schedules next week! #waedu

Nice work Mr. Broome! Leading by relationships! Well done! AWSP #createhope National Assoc. of Secondary School Principals National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals #cpchat #waedu

Rock it Mr. Williams. Rock it. You are a star to so many. Make it happen.

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.

Ever see a line this long to be the first 100 in the Conference Exhibit Hall? Big prizes await! #awspwasa24

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
