About the Author

Justin Baeder is director of The Principal Center, where he helps school and district administrators build capacity for instructional leadership. Prior to starting The Principal Center, Baeder served as a teacher, head teacher, and principal in Seattle Public Schools, finishing his ten-year career in Seattle as principal of Olympic View Elementary. His professional interests focus on strategic planning, goal setting, organizational learning, and productivity. Driven by the belief that leaders belong in classrooms—where the most important work is being done—he created the 21-Day Instructional Leadership Challenge (www.instructionalleadershipchallenge.com), which has helped more than ten thousand leaders from fifty countries develop the habit of getting into classrooms and having evidence-based conversations with teachers.

He has contributed to School Administrator, Principal News Magazine, Principal Magazine, Principal Navigator Magazine, and Education Week. Baeder presents regularly at state and national conferences, including the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Learning Forward, and the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and he has been an invited keynote speaker at numerous state principals’ conferences in California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Texas, Arkansas, Utah, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Baeder is currently a doctoral candidate studying principal productivity at the University of Washington, and is a graduate of the Danforth Educational Leadership Program at the University of Washington. He holds a master’s degree in education with a focus on curriculum and instruction from Seattle University, and a bachelor’s degree in science education from Harding University.
