“As I network with principals across the nation, I am affirmed that Kansas is committed to investing in school leadership. When I share about our Kansas Principals Association, the Elevate Leadership professional development, the 360/Building Ranks Assessment and Coaching, and the Leading Learning workshops they are amazed! We are unique with our solid and strategic offerings. I have been active in all three professional development opportunities this year. This work will impact my leadership and our building as we move forward. The network I have created is one of the most valuable assets from these PD opportunities. My growth would not have been possible without the amazing staff from USA/KASB/KSDE. They came very prepared each session, they invested in each one of us, and our collective growth is commendable.” – Stacey Green, PK-8 Principal Stockton

“This is my 6th year as a principal. I have always been a person that wants to grow and improve every year, but my growth this year has easily outweighed the previous five years combined! I attribute this to Jessica’s guidance and the opportunity to learn alongside other like-minded leaders hungry for growth. The 360 survey that I had my staff complete provided valuable feedback and offered me the “nudge” I needed to challenge the status quo and initiate positive change.” – Tyler Weinbrenner, Jr./Sr. High Principal 448
