The five logos of the Principals’ Foundation component groups
In 1982, the Association of Washington State Principals (AWSP) created the Washington School Principals' Education Foundation (WSPEF), a nonprofit foundation that oversees student development activities, outdoor learning spaces, and professional development services.
Washington School Principals’ Education Foundation is governed by a board of directors made up of active and retired principals. Meetings are held quarterly in locations around the state.
More About Washington School Principals’ Education Foundation:
We believe children at all grade levels have potential to become leaders in their neighborhoods, schools, and communities. Through social/emotional learning and STEAM, we approach the needs of the whole child, striving to support and improve their growth in the social and academic domains.
Time spent in the out-of-doors at our Cispus Learning Center connects children with the environment, helping them develop the mindset of stewardship and conservation. As students learn about their place in the natural world, they also discover a future for themselves, as advocates, organizers, and those who find their life’s calling in environmental work.
Our practices are planned, implemented, and evaluated through the lenses of justice, equity, and inclusion. Just as diversity is an indicator of environmental health, it is how we judge our organization’s health as well.
At the Association of Washington School Leaders (AWSL), we are purposeful in our development of students as leaders, helping them to find the power of their voices. We encourage and support them, as they become influences for good in their communities, their cultures, and ultimately, the world.
