The assistant principal role comes with built-in pressure points, regardless of level, building, or assignment. This interactive session unpacks 10 of those pressure points, connects them to research on school-leader sustainability, and moves beyond self-care as the only solution by focusing on stronger systems, clearer boundaries, and better role design. Participants will examine what they can control, what they can influence, and what requires broader support while leaving with practical strategies to lighten the AP load, protect leadership capacity, and lead from a place of strength, not survival.
