Welcome to The Principal Center!

How can you make time to get into classrooms—without falling behind on everything else?

At The Principal Center, we help school leaders:

  • Confidently get into classrooms every day
  • Have feedback conversations that change teacher practice
  • Discover their best opportunities for school improvement

It doesn't require superhuman effort; it just requires:

  • Strategies that keep you focused on the right priorities
  • Tools that increase your efficiency
  • Habits that maximize your consistency

To help you develop these systems and start getting into classrooms right away, I've created a free program called the Instructional Leadership Challenge.

More than 10,000 school leaders in 50 countries around the world have accepted the Challenge. Will you? Sign up here.
