Transform Your Productivity. Build Capacity for Instructional Leadership. Multiply Your Impact.
Become a Principal Center Pro Member
We believe that any organization, filled with ordinary people, can become a high-performance organization when leaders act decisively to put key systems in place. These systems have three features in common:
- The right strategy, which is what makes us effective
- The right tools, which allow us to be efficient
- The right habits, which allow us to be consistent
These three features make up what we call the High Performance Triangle.
Lessons Designed Around The High Performance Triangle™
We believe that high performance is the result of three factors working in concert. We call these factors the High Performance Triangle.
Director, The Principal Center
Build Your School's Capacity
Developing high-performance systems begins with leaders, but it doesn't end there. For sustainable excellence, schools must develop instructional leadership capacity, which we define as an organization's ability to make and implement operational and improvement decisions.

Making Time for Instructional Leadership
As a leader, you play a critical role in your organization–and as a result, you face and immense workload and intense pressures on your time. How can you make time for the "important but not urgent" work of instructional leadership, yet still get everything else done?
As a Principal Center Pro Member, you'll master the leadership habits of getting current and getting into classrooms. Instead of being overwhelmed with email, paperwork, and tasks, you'll develop strategies, tools, and habits that allow you to tackle each day—whatever it may bring—strategically and systematically.

Here's What People Are Saying About The Principal Center...
From The Director
I believe that being a school administrator is one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs in the world. We have the opportunity to impact students' lives forever—but so much can get in the way. There's too much to do, too many challenges to manage, and never enough time. Our mission at The Principal Center is to help you address each of these barriers by building your school's capacity for instructional leadership. If you want to take your leadership—and your school—to the next level, I hope you'll join us.
Sincerely,
Justin Baeder, Director
The Principal Center is led by Justin Baeder, creator of the 21-Day Instructional Leadership Challenge. A former Seattle Public Schools principal and teacher, Justin’s professional mission is to help school leadership teams transform their productivity, build their capacity, and multiply their impact on learning.
