Yesterday, we worked with the BLT at SE of Saline Elementary as a refresh of their prior Elevate work. We continued work on collective efficacy, What Matters Most, data-driven systems, and celebrated their many successes from this past year! Their dedication is truly commendable.
Our New Principals are working hard in Goddard as they reflect, share, & grow their professional network! Throughout the year, these leaders will continue to work together, supporting one another through a successful first year as leaders. @KSPrincipals #KELI #edleadershipmatters
The New Principal program is a collaboration between USA-Kansas, @KSPrincipals, & #KELI. We kicked off the program today in Goddard, talking about our 'why', instructional leadership, the first 100 days, leadership 101, & more! We can't wait to support these new leaders all year!
On August 1, we will be launching our AI website with AI bots built to be your thought partner. Our AI Thought Partners are built on high quality research and secured to protect your data and privacy! Stay tuned for more details to come or contact us at usakansas@usakansas.org.

SAVE THE DATE! The AI for Kansas Educators Summit will be held December 3rd at the Drury in Wichita. This Summit is an opportunity for any educator to learn more about how AI can impact student learning! #edleadershipmatters
We believe leadership is an activity not just a position. Building the capacity of teachers to be leaders in the school is what WKLA and Aspiring Leaders intends to do while also supporting those with administration goals. If you are looking to grow your leadership, join us!
Advocacy for our public schools matters now more than ever! USA-Kansas and our national affiliates are working tirelessly to contact legislators letting them know the impact federal and state funding freezes and cuts have on our students. Being a member of USA-Kansas and our national organizations come with many benefits, but the greatest benefit at this point in time is our advocacy work at the national and state level. Visit our website to learn not just how you can get involved but about what others are doing in our state to make all our voices heard. Our students, staff, and communities deserve it! #edleadershipmatters
