Hey, we're Andra and Sarah!

We’re the co-founders of Tailored Education and The Principal Exchange—and we believe school leaders and educators deserve support that actually supports them.

We met years ago working in an elementary school and have pretty much been inseparable ever since. Between the two of us, we’ve been in pretty much any education role you can imagine, from classroom teacher to higher-ed professor. But no matter the title, one thing stayed the same: We always believed in people over programs.

We started Tailored Education because we saw too many teachers and principals trying to carry everything on their own. The support that was supposed to help? It usually came in a binder—or a mandate. And we knew schools needed more than that.

So we built something different.

🚀 What We Do Now

Today, we support schools and districts through a growing lineup of services and resources designed to take the weight off your shoulders—not add to it.

  • Tailored Education is our home base for leadership support, PD, and coaching. Whether we're running a beginning teacher program for a district or helping a principal reset systems, our work always starts with real relationships and custom-fit solutions.

  • The Principal Academy is our flagship membership—offering year-round resources, professional development, tools, coaching, and community for school leaders.

  • Breaking the Rules is our behavior-focused mini academy—built for principals who need a practical, no-fluff way to get behavior under control without burning out.

  • PD Pilot is our on-demand PD bank for teachers, perfect for busy principals or BT coordinators who want ready-to-use trainings that are actually good.

  • The Principal Exchange is our marketplace—where school leaders can buy and sell done-for-you tools, created by people who get the work.

  • And coming soon: The Principal Exchange Podcast, where we spotlight real school leaders doing amazing work (with or without a big platform).

💛 Why We Do It

  • Because we know what it’s like to be in the work and feel like no one’s really supporting you.

  • Because we know your wearing too many hats to count and you deserve to take some off.

  • Because we believe passionate educators deserve tools that match their energy—not burn it out.

  • Because we’re tired of seeing talented school leaders leave the profession because they were never given what they needed to stay.

This isn’t just a business for us. It’s a mission. And we’re so glad you're here.

🤝 What Makes Us Different

  • We personalize everything. Whether it's a full district contract or a single PD session, we build it around your people, not a preset program.

  • We’ve been in it. Not just once or in one role—but across classrooms, campuses, districts, and states.

  • We’re not afraid to challenge the system. And we do it in a way that builds bridges, not walls.

  • We believe this work can be joyful again. And we want to help you find your way back to that.

📩 Let's Work Together

Whether you’re a district leader looking to revamp your beginning teacher support, a principal trying to bring some peace back to your campus, or an educator who just needs a fresh perspective—we’d love to help.

Because this work is hard. But it shouldn’t be lonely. And it doesn’t have to break you to be meaningful.

Let’s build something better—together.
