The video-sharing app TikTok isn’t going away anytime soon, and if anything, it’s growing in influence in and out of the classroom.
Educators and school leaders turn to social media not only to connect with their K-12 communities but to share their missions and insights on the profession.
Two years ago, we showcased several school leader creators on TikTok, and now even more educators are flocking to the platform to share advice, laughs, or just show off their school spirit.
Here are 6 fun principal follows to check out next time you’re scrolling through TikTok.
