Being a school leader means juggling a thousand things at once – supporting teachers, managing parents, solving problems, while also finding time to inspire the school community. That’s why we created the Principal Life newsletter: to give you support, humor and fresh ideas every week.
Each week, we provide school leaders with a curated roundup of the best articles, as well as exciting content from our vibrant Principals’ Lives Facebook group, where thousands of principals share stories, advice and the occasional viral meme Way Too close to home. Just fill out this quick form and keep an eye on your inbox!
Additionally, it is written by Meghan Mathis, a veteran educator with over 18 years of experience and a master’s degree in elementary education and special education. Megan brings warmth, a great sense of humor, and a deep understanding of the needs of school leaders in today’s educational environment.
Here’s what you’ll get each week with your subscription:
