Am I the Bad Guy? Navigating the Assistant Principal Identity Shift

from The Assistant Principal Workshop Hosted by Mark Pages

Stepping into the assistant principal role comes with an unexpected challenge — your identity. One day you’re building relationships as a teacher, and the next, you’re the one making tough calls, holding boundaries, and navigating shifting perceptions from staff and students. In this episode of The Assistant Principal Workshop, we unpack the identity shift that every AP experiences but few talk about. You’ll learn the three common traps that can derail your leadership, how to rebuild your identity with intention, and how to lead with clarity without losing your heart. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the bad guy now?” — this episode is for you.
