Professional Development

IPA offers a wide variety of high quality Administrators’ Academies and workshops for building level administrators and teacher leaders. The professional development strands support:

Special Education,
Instructional Leadership and Curriculum,
Administrative Leadership,
Administrative Management,
English Language Learners (ELL),
Conferences and
Special Focus Workshops.

All workshops are based on the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards for School Administrators. Each workshop is designed by the Illinois Principals Association to instruct participants in the latest educational tools they can take back to their building and use immediately.

Join Illinois administrators at the Annual Principals Professional Conference and Exhibition in October to gain valuable professional development, network with colleagues, and find the latest educational resources available to you from the exhibitors. Attend the Assistant Principals Conference and Dean’s Day in February to discover new ideas at informative educational sessions and network with other administrators.

Note: All administrators are required to take one administrators academy each year.
