Quality education systems are essential in healthy, vibrant communities, and these systems rely on passionate, effective and informed leadership. Yet across Ohio, many administrators face challenges: isolation, ill-informed policy, insufficient resources, time constraints and a barrage of best practices and pragmatic solutions. It can make the job feel overwhelming. The Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators exists to meet these challenges. We connect and support pre-K, elementary and middle-level administrators throughout their careers through advocacy, engagement, and development. As we do, administrators create environments where teachers are empowered to teach, and students are inspired to learn. We believe that every school deserves an effective, informed and caring administrator to lead and support it. OAESA is here for these administrators, so they can be there for their students, their faculty, and their communities. OUR VISION: An effective, empowered, and passionate administrator leading every school OUR PURPOSE: To champion and engage administrators throughout their careers OUR MISSION: intentionally connect, effectively develop, passionately advocate
