Important Tools for the Principalship:
Preparing Novice Campus Principals to Become Highly Qualified Leaders
If your school district will be hiring new principals, is in the process of grooming you for the principalship, or if you aspire to become a campus administrator, this professional development is a must. The 2026 program is the 28th annual TASSP New Principal Academy. The Academy offers all new principals and aspiring principals, and principals who need a refresher course, a very practical hands-on training in skills for the principalship: Culture-building Skills; Best Hiring Practices and Human Resource Information; Campus and Activity Fund Training; Documentation Skills; School Law as it relates to the campus principal; How to Avoid Career Derailing Mistakes; and so much more.
For over 25 years, TASSP has offered the New Principal Academy to provide training in topic-driven areas of leadership and management. As often occurs, new principals have had in-depth training on the research behind leadership but have not had the same depth of training in areas of legal and practical management. The TASSP New Principal Academy addresses both, leadership and management.
This academy is open to all administrators, K-12, aspiring and current. If you are grooming assistant principals for principal positions, this academy is a great place to support them for the job. Please consider sending a current or future campus leader from your school or district to this training. We can assure you that the training will be high-quality and specific to the nuts and bolts of effective leadership.
Acceptable Forms of Payment: Personal or District Check, Personal or District Credit Card, District Purchase Order, or Cash.
