The National Association of Elementary School Principal’s (NAESP) premier program, the National Panel of New Principals, is up and running for the 2015-16 year and is actively recruiting panelists. 

Now entering its third year, the panel includes nearly 1,000 first and second year principals from all 50 states, who participate in 4-6 brief, topical online surveys during the school year. The time commitment is small—a total of less than one hour per year. The results are published in a Rise & Shine brief that is proving highly popular among principals, education policy makers and the media.

The panel was featured in a recent EdWeek article as a groundbreaking initiative that is helping early career principals feel more connected to the profession, gain valuable insights from peers, and know that their voices are being heard.

Becoming a panelist is easy—principals in their first or second year of practice can simply enroll at newprincipal.org. The panel is open to all new principals—NAESP members and non-members alike.
