TASSP Winter Conference

The 2010 Winter Conference was held January 28th/29th at the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro.  Some 80 administrators attended the first day, but unfortunately the second day’s presentation was cut short because of snow and ice. 

The conference was kicked off on Thursday morning with greetings and an NASSP update from NASSP President Steve Pophal from Wisconsin.  Jill Pancoast with “The Breakthrough Coach” gave an outstanding presentation on Thursday and 2006 National Principal of the year Mel Ridile presented on Friday, but unfortunately Mel’s presentation was cut short due to inclement weather. 

Four sponsors, Consolidated Retirement Services, Plato, Cambridge Educ. Services and Odessey Software displayed at this year’s conference.  A reception sponsored by Consolidated Retirement Services was held on Thursday night.  14 hours of TASL credit was pre-approved. 

James Jarvis, assistant principal at Ooltewah High School, has been named the Tennessee Assistant Principal of the Year by the Tennessee Association of Secondary School Principals (TASSP).  Now designated a state winner by TASSP, Jarvis is eligible in consideration to be the 2010 NASSP/Virco National Assistant Principal of the Year.

“Assistant principals play a key role in the success of secondary schools across the nation,” said Larry Wonder, Virco’s Vice President of Sales. “Virco is honored to recognize their achievements and is committed to contributing to their professional development.”
