Professional Development
The Principals’ Center (TPC) is founded on the belief that school leaders who are connected to education research and theory, are reflective about their practice, and are engaged in a sustained exchange of ideas with colleagues have greater potential to create schools in which students have positive learning and development experiences.
For more than 40 years, The Principals’ Center has convened school leaders from around the world to engage in transformative professional learning experiences.
"The most powerful form of learning, the most sophisticated form of staff development, comes not from listening to the good works of others but from sharing what we know with others... By reflecting on what we do, by giving it coherence, and by sharing and articulating our craft knowledge, we make meaning. We learn." Roland Barth, Founder of The Principals' Center
