High expectations require high support. Successful schools are normally indicative of its principals’ effectiveness and their ability to create conditions conducive to joy and learning.

Participants will learn the PBA Framework for Principal Effectiveness, decode data to drive decisions, and build their leadership confidence to excel in their role without burnout. They will leave with individualized resources and a transformative step-by-step improvement plan they can put into action right away.

You’re an educator! Chances are you…

• did well in school and are accustomed to being “top of the class”.

• did well as a teacher, assistant principal, counselor, etc., and that momentum made you want to expand your sphere of influence as a principal.

• had a not-so-great principal and you told yourself, “I could do this much better than him/her.” (insert eye roll)

• had a great principal who made school leadership look easy.

Perhaps, you didn’t even want to be a principal, but someone else saw great leadership potential in you and encouraged you to take the leap into administration.

Regardless of what brought you here, thank you for your service! But, whew, that principalship is a different beast…

And until you’ve actually been in that seat, you have no idea. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Being a principal is hard, but it can also be one of the most rewarding and impactful professional choices you make in life.

Your leadership success is greatly dependent upon what Paul Stoltz refers to as the “adversity quotient”. How well can you turn obstacles into opportunities?
