The Indiana Principal Leadership Institute at Indiana State University's Bayh College of Education welcomed 49 principals for the kickoff to the program's sixth cohort July 10-12.
The Indiana Principal Leadership Institute is a two-year experience designed to address the professional needs of Indiana public school principals with an emphasis on student success. The institute will increase a principal's capacity to address the current needs of her/his school, such as effective instruction, student performance, community involvement and shaping a strong school culture.
In addition to the targeted work with each cohort, IPLI is committed to serving as a resource for all Indiana principals, their schools and their school communities. This includes sharing research, providing access to leadership assessments and offering tools to develop action research plans. IPLI's website, indianapli.org, serves as the clearinghouse for this information.
