  • 06/16/16

National Harbor, Md. — Elementary and middle-level principals from around the nation will gather for the National Association of Elementary School Principals’ (NAESP) Best Practices for Better Schools™ National Conference and Expo of the Year, July 6-8 in National Harbor, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. Preconference activities begin on Tues., July 5.

The largest national conference for pre-K-8 principals, it will connect school leaders with best practices, success stories, and practical solutions for their schools—to lead students and teachers toward success. Principals will gather as schools, districts, and states across the country prepare to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which sets many new requirements for schools. This year’s international contingency of principals includes leaders from Canada, Moldova, Nicaragua, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

Entire strands of the more than 100 conference sessions will focus on critical topics in education leadership that impact principals every day: educational equity, effective learning communities, technology, transforming schools, and more. Visit www.naespconference.org for a full list of sessions.
