Before we dive in
The 6 Mistakes That Derail
New Principals
Hover each one. See yourself in it. Then learn the fix.
Solving every problem personally instead of building systems that work without you.
Sacrificing yourself before burnout forces the issue — usually around Month 3.
Not building a support system until you're already overwhelmed and your perspective is distorted.
Letting the school own every hour you give it — and there will always be more to give.
Changing everything before understanding anything about your school's people and story.
Staying too long in the wrong role for the wrong reasons — and calling it loyalty.
Is this for you?
Yes — If Any of These Describe You
First-year principal
You just got the keys. You want to lead well from Day 1 — not learn everything the hard way.
New to your school
You've been a principal before, but this campus is new. The first 90 days reset every time.
Assistant principal stepping up
You're moving into the role soon and want to be prepared before you take the seat.
Ready to lead differently
You've survived a tough year and want a smarter, more sustainable approach going forward.

Your facilitator
Dr. Barbara Ray Polk
"I've been in the building when everything hits at once. A fight before 8 AM. A teacher who didn't show. A parent at the front office. You need more than a checklist. You need a thinking framework."
Dr. Barbara Ray Polk has spent over 20 years transforming underperforming schools and mentoring the principals who lead them. She knows what the first 90 days feel like — because she's lived them, coached through them, and built a framework to survive them.

If you lose yourself
while saving the school,
the school still loses.
