Are you ready to stop being the most capable leader in the building… that no one’s promoting?
You’ve supported everyone else-teachers, students, leadership. You’ve run the school without the title. And still, when the principal seat opens, your name gets bypassed.
The Assistant Principals’ Path to Promotion is for APs like you: smart, driven, impactful-but stuck in the “almost ready” category. Dr. Bobbie Mills brings you the exact framework she’s used to help assistant principals finally get seen, get results, and get promoted.
Because effort isn’t enough. You need visibility. You need credibility. And you need a strategy that aligns your day-to-day with your next level.
Inside this book, you’ll uncover:
A clear leadership development path using the Principalship Pathway Framework to guide your growth and prove your readiness.
12 bold Powerplays designed to increase your influence, amplify your results, and strengthen your voice-right where you are now.
The mindset shift that moves you out of support mode and into leadership identity-so you don’t just do the work, you own the role.
Exactly how to demonstrate you're ready for the principalship-without begging, overworking, or hoping to be noticed.
You won’t just read this. You’ll lead through it.
Each chapter includes an instantly downloadable bonus tool-linked right inside the book-so you can put each Powerplay into action immediately. These are not fluff worksheets. They’re planning tools, coaching templates, leadership prompts, and growth trackers to support real AP work.
For the AP who’s done waiting.
If you know you’re capable of leading your own school but need a clearer path, this is your turning point.
This is the book your future principal self will thank you for.
