The Maine Principals’ Association invites you to submit a proposal for a presentation at the MPA Principals' Conference. The MPA is a member of the School Leader Collaborative and therefore all professional learning will be based on the School Leader Paradigm.
Take advantage of this opportunity to tell your colleagues about what is working in your school and to share your expertise, network, and enhance your professional growth. We believe the best professional development for principals and assistant principals is building administrators working with building administrators. Thus, we invite you and teachers from your schools to present.
In keeping with leadership topics on the paradigm, we are soliciting proposals in the following areas:
