Welcome!
Here at The Modern Principal, we serve potential principals, practicing principals, and those who are post principalship.
Podcast
Top ranked and frequently downloaded (six figures to be exact), Christy and Karen chat about all things education in The Modern Principal Podcast.
Each Monday, we tackle real scenarios sent in from our listeners. In short 15-20 minute episodes, we fix all your problems. We tackle each scenario through the lenses of scholar (the Google research, obvi), systems (sustaining strategies), and soul (what our gut tells us to do).
Principal Portal
The portal was designed to be your one stop shop for all things practicing and potential principals need in their roles. We offer yearly subscriptions to our four different courses:
A–Academics & Achievement
B–Behavior & Belonging
C–Culture & Community
D–Day-to-Day Leadership
Christy & Karen update the resources monthly based on what you want to see included. There are videos, downloadables (all editable), and access to discounted workshops.
Join at any time. Your membership can begin today!
Community & Development
We know the best thing about The Modern Principal is our charming and winning personalities.
JKJK, but for real, it’s the power in the people working across the country (and world) to bring change to transform education–through the student and teacher experience.
Collaborative Conversations: non-traditional ‘workshops’ where we use the collective expertise in the (virtual) room to help problem solve, share solutions, and learn from one another. You’ll leave these feeling energized and with an action step for tomorrow.
Workshops: a more traditional approach to learning, we lead the group through a topic, sharing research, best practices, and real life experiences with positive outcomes. Most workshops also include work time, collaboration and individualized guided planning with reflection.

Happiest of birthdays to the lady on the left, the one single-handedly keeping this brand alive through all the stress of jobs and doctoral papers. She motivates us all to be better humans while also enjoying the finer things in life. I’m so lucky to have found a great friend, confidant and person to join my village as a grown up. That’s so rare and I know I’m lucky!
Happy Birthday Queen👑👑

We know the current state of education is leading to turnover in principals. But what's a former principal to do for work? We talk about a few of our ideas – as well as our own experiences – in this week's pod!
