Our History...
The Principals Center, housed at Georgia State University is a collaborative effort between the University and local school districts and other agencies to provide cutting edge professional development for school leaders. The Center was founded at GSU in 1984 as part of the National Network of Principals' Centers, created by Roland Barth at Harvard University. The Center offers the training and support that can help school leaders be successful change agents so they are able to build strong learning communities. Through workshops, forums, seminars and interaction with peers and national experts, the Principals Center provides the knowledge and sophisticated skills required by today’s school executive. A Board of Advisors of local school principals, professors and other educators design the yearly activities. Through the Center’s connection with what is now the International Network of Principals' Centers, members are linked with educators throughout the world to determine best practices in instruction and in school leadership.
Board of Advisors...
The Board of Advisors guides the activities of the Center. It is comprised of representatives from the school districts that are members of the Center, representatives of the faculty of the Department of Educational Policy Studies of Georgia State University, and representatives of the business community.
