March is Women’s History Month, a time when we recognize and celebrate the contributions of women throughout American history. In honor of this month, we want to highlight a new opportunity for women in school leadership to collaborate and support one another.
Recently, NASSP launched its first-ever Women in School Leadership Network. The network is designed to create a space for participants to share openly their perspectives and experiences unique to women’s leadership. The network also aims to create time for mentoring, support, growing, and challenging assumptions through the exchange of ideas. As the network co-facilitators, we want to share a bit about ourselves.
