Oklahoma City, OK
Joined February 2009
I did it! Finished defending my dissertation, "An Examination of School Social Factors Related to Academic Grit". This journey spanned 15 years, including a 7 year pause, but I'm grateful for the people who've supported me along the way. Now it's official: Dr. Abshere.

While on Capitol Hill today, we came across a Judiciary Meeting that was being held with Pam Bondi testifying about the Epstein files. We left the Capitol offices to see the monks that walked from Ft. Worth to Washington DC.

Our ties go beyond titles and states. We learn from one another, stand shoulder to shoulder in challenges, and lead with heart. When principals unite, schools are stronger, educators feel supported, and students everywhere benefit. This is the power of @NAESP
