MISSOURI PROUD...BETH HOUF, PRINCIPAL, FULTON MIDDLE SCHOOL
QUOTE FOR THE PRINCIPAL'S JOURNEY
"The schools tackling the toughest challenges tell a consistent and powerful story by focusing on the future and prioritizing a rigorous and relevant curriculum." Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder, International Center for Leadership in Education. Dr. Daggett writes in his latest blog, "5 Things the Nation’s Most Rapidly Improving Schools Have in Common."
Dr. Daggett will open the 85th Annual MoASSP/MCCTA September 29 in Columbia.
QUOTE FOR THE PRINCIPAL'S JOURNEY
"Build a sense of loyalty and pride in your school through a deliberate effort in creating a brand for your school that all stakeholders can get behind." Dr. Adam D. Drummond

Congratulations to Fulton Middle School Principal, Beth Houf, 2019 NASSP Digital Principal of the Year
Dr. Bill Daggett Opens 85th Annual MoASSP/MCCTA Fall Conference
We are excited to announce that Dr. Bill Daggett will be the opening keynote at our upcoming Fall Conference. I have heard Dr. Daggett speak many times. He is a great choice to kick off our conference for school and career technical administrators. Dr. Daggett is one of the most sought after speakers in the country. "He is the creator of the Rigor/Relevance Framework. Dr. Daggett will show us how we can effectively prepare students for the future."
A New Book Release to Consider
Dr. Adam Drummond's new book, "The Instructional Change Agent," has endorsements from John Hattie to Bill Daggett. I was fortunate to read the manuscript several months ago. Adam's book captures the heart of a principal by providing a fresh look at time-tested systems that spotlight the core values of the principalship that will sure to increase stakeholder value. This wisdom-packed book of everyday, realistic, and purpose-filled ideas, is recommended for any principal’s bookshelf. Adam was the closing keynote at the MoASSP Spring Conference. My copy is in the mail.
Trade Secrets...Interviewing School Counselors
Several months ago, I was asked to write an article for the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Magazine about what principals look for when interviewing school counselors. The article appeared in the May/June 2019 School Counselor magazine. The piece summarized our approach as we considered the best candidate for the position. I have also included the link below.
ACT Update
I have included information released from Tim Osborn, ACT District Manager for State Engagement. See link below.

I attended a well-planned Aspiring Principal program last Thursday at Lee's Summit North HS. I have included a few pics and highlights below.
