Why Everyday Principal?
Investing in principals is the most important investment a school district can make—more critical than any single teacher development initiative. While great teaching drives student success, it is the principal who sets the vision, builds the culture, ensures instructional coherence, and creates the conditions for every teacher to grow. A strong principal multiplies the impact of teacher development by aligning it to clear goals, sustaining it over time, and removing barriers to its success. Everyday Principal strengthens this most powerful lever in education, equipping leaders with the systems, skills, and strategies to elevate every classroom, every program, and every student. When principals grow, the entire district gets better—faster and more sustainably than through any other investment.
