You already know what needs to change in your school.

The question is: how do you make it happen without adding another initiative to your already overloaded schedule?

Principals are overwhelmed by compliance demands, walkthrough expectations, data cycles, and improvement plans that rarely translate into sustained classroom change. Programs are adopted. Trainings are delivered. Yet daily instructional practice remains inconsistent.

The Question Driven Principal introduces a practical leadership operating system for school improvement.

Instead of adding new initiatives, this book helps leaders make instructional practice visible, identify implementation patterns quickly, and build teacher ownership of improvement work.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify schoolwide instructional trends in one hour

Conduct 10–15 minute classroom visits that reveal actionable patterns

Facilitate 40-minute professional learning sessions where teachers generate solutions

Coach effectively without needing to be the content expert

Build sustainable improvement cycles that continue beyond your direct oversight

Through 12 structured chapters, real-world case examples, research grounding, and week-by-week implementation guidance, this book provides a system that fits into the time principals already have.

The framework requires approximately two focused hours per week during active improvement cycles  producing measurable practice change without burnout.

If you are ready to shift from managing initiatives to leading sustainable instructional improvement, this book provides the process.

Includes access to the Curiosity Coach tool for structured leadership reflection and problem-solving.
