Nobody Hands New APs a Playbook But Here's a 32 Page Guide

Here's the thing: you get the title, the keys, and a stack of new responsibilities. What you don't get is someone telling you how to actually navigate the job, or how to be a mentor who helps someone else navigate it.

I learned this the hard way. The reality is, some of the best lessons I got as an assistant principal came from conversations nobody scheduled with colleagues who were figuring it out right alongside me. That shouldn't be left to chance.

So I built the guide I wish someone had handed me on or BEFORE day one.
