- VASSP worked collaboratively with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), the Virginia Association of Elementary School Principals (VDOE), and Virginia Foundation for Educational Leadership (VFEL), to develop and pilot a new mentoring program for PreK-12 school administrators. Titled the Virginia Principals Mentoring Pilot (VPMP), this program will serve two purposes. First, the VPMP will provide principals with knowledge, skills, and support from their initial appointment through their beginning three-year period. Second, the VPMP will establish a platform to train mentors to work with newer principals within that beginning three-year period. Most importantly, VPMP Principals are participating in high quality, targeted professional development that assists in the transition to school leadership, examines the realities of principal-ship, and provides individualized support. The mentoring program will establish a safe space for beginner principals to grow in their role; problem solve and engage in an impactful way with peers. Discussions regarding the pilot proposal began in August 2023, with representatives from VDOE, VASSP, VAESP, and VFEL. Administering the pilot began in the spring of 2024 and is scheduled to end February 2025.
