Tennessee Principals Association

Tennessee Principals Association The mission of the Tennessee Principals Association (TPA) is to Support, Empower, & Connect Tennessee Principals.

The only Associations with their focus on principals are those such as the Tennessee Principals Association. All our members are principals, have been principals or desire to be principals. TPA's entire program of work, structure of organization and benefits delivery systems were planned around the professional and personal development of its members. Our best known products are the the Journal (Tennessee Principal) edited by Catherine Prentis of Nashville, our Annual Conference (this year in Pigeon Forge at the Music Road Hotel and Inn), our Legislative Lobbyist and legal mind in Stephen Smith, our Electronic Modules which award TASL credits through a partnership with Niswonger Foundation and all of the benefits associated with the TPA/NAESP affiliate relationship (million dollar liability coverage, legal assistant package, publications and so forth). Nationally TPA is a part of a 25,000 member network of principals. Within the state hundreds of principals operate as colleagues and available human resources to each other. It would be great to have you join with us both to enjoy the benefits mentioned above and to contribute from your areas of strength. Download the membership form and fax it to 423.245.5687 today!

It's easy to be passionate about something when it's new.

When the excitement is still fresh and the results haven't tested you yet.

The real test comes later, on the days when passion isn't loud, when purpose feels distant, when nobody's watching and it would be easy to just phone it in.

That's where relentless actually lives.
Not in the big moments.
On the ordinary days when you show up fully anyway.

What's one thing you're staying committed to, even on the hard days? 💛

Stronger together isn’t a slogan. It’s how we lead.

As conversations around student screen time continue, new federal guidance encourages school leaders to ask a different question:

Does this technology improve teaching and learning?

The U.S. Department of Education is calling on schools and districts to evaluate digital tools based on instructional value, effectiveness, accessibility, and student outcomes, while supporting educators with the professional learning they need to use technology well. https://t.congressweb.com/l/?DPJODTLVUWPRDIV

August recess is a great time to see Congress at work in your own community.

Many Members of Congress post their community events, school visits, and public appearances online while they're back in their districts. Following their homebase schedules is an easy way to stay informed and see what issues they're discussing with constituents.

If you attend an event this August, share a photo or highlight from your experience and tag NAESP—we'd love to see school leaders engaging in advocacy across the country.
