The Leadership Academy
Onboarding Process
The onboarding process is the foundation of the Everyday Principal Leadership Academy—designed to create early alignment, shared language, and immediate impact. Through five focused sessions, principals and assistant principals explore the core fundamentals of great leadership, including peak performance, authentic identity, instructional clarity, culture-building, and long-term systems thinking. Delivered in an engaging, thought-provoking format, onboarding sets the tone for the Academy experience by equipping every leader with the mindset, tools, and direction needed to grow themselves and those they lead.
As a strategic bonus, a dedicated Superintendent Session anchors the district’s long-term vision and prepares central office leadership to play a critical role in sustaining growth across the partnership.
Learning Management System (LMS)
The Everyday Principal LMS is the backbone of the Leadership Academy—a centralized hub that supports ongoing, role-specific learning for principals, assistant principals, and district leaders. Built to track progress, award CEUs, and drive continuous growth, the LMS provides 24/7 access to a tiered system of resources including microlearning modules, podcast episodes, leadership publications, and customized district courses. It creates a seamless learning experience that empowers leaders to grow at their own pace while staying connected to a larger professional community. Districts benefit from transparent reporting tools that offer insight into engagement, progress, and overall leadership development across the system.
