In this episode of the Reinventing Education Podcast, Rob & Brendan dive into the transformative role of the Counselor Principal within progressive, sociocratic, or counselor-centered schools. Unlike the traditional hierarchy of the expert-led "pyramid" model or the managerial "star" approach of a coach principal, the counselor principal thrives in a flattened hierarchy where collaboration and shared responsibility take center stage.

Discover how this role focuses on facilitation over authority, fostering relationships, empowering teachers and students, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive school culture. We’ll explore how the counselor principal promotes participatory decision-making, emotional well-being, and collective leadership to create a truly community-driven educational environment.

Tune in to learn how this innovative approach challenges conventional models and redefines what leadership can look like in today’s schools.
