As part of National Principals Month (http://www.naesp.org/celebrating-national-principals-month), the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), and New Leaders are all collaborating with the Department on a shadow program with principals across the Washington, D.C., region.  During the second week in October, more than three dozen schools will host senior agency staff, culminating in a briefing with the Secretary.  This first-hand experience will help inform the Department how federal policy can better support principals in their service to all students.
