Be a PAL!

How can you be a PAL, you may ask? #OhPrinChat lets you join colleagues from across the state for rich discussions- without even leaving your couch!

This month’s topic, Let’s Be PAL’s! Principals Advocating with Legislators, goes right along with the Principal for a Day program that was highlighted in an IASP blogpost found here.

Given the tremendous impact that legislators have on public education, it simply stands to reason that educators need to be purposeful about building positive relationships with these influential individuals. Join OAESA and colleagues across the state for an enlightening discussion on how to connect with legislators, promote the good in our schools, and help shape pro-education policies.

Join the chat: Sept. 3, 8:00-9:00 PM
