March is a time to celebrate and recognize an important demographic in education: mid-career principals and assistant principals. Intermediate Education Month is dedicated to celebrating the dedication, innovation, and leadership of middle school educators across the country. They are educators who deftly navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of middle-class education and shape the futures of our most transformative youth.
This year's theme for Mid-Career Education Month is “Celebrating Leaders, Shaping the Future: Celebrating Mid-Career Educators.”
why celebrate
Middle school is not only a bridge between elementary school and high school, but also an important turning point where students explore their identities, develop new ways of thinking, and face various social challenges. Mid-level educators are at the center of this effort, fostering a safe and engaging environment in which students can excel academically and personally.
We celebrate Intermediate Education Month to highlight the remarkable efforts of these educators.
Celebrating NAESP members
