School Leader Entry Plan

To get you started on the right foot, the Illinois Principals Association, in partnership with the members of the School Leader Collaborative, developed the School Leader Entry Plan. In this document, you will find the following guidance:

  • Critical leadership competencies and attributes for you to reflect on early in your tenure.
  • Suggestions of people to engage with, documents to read, and work to do.
  • How to be transparent with and accountable to the members of your learning organization about a plan to get started.
  • An example public entry plan as a model for your own.
  • A Notes section to capture key data points about your school, possible opportunities for early wins, expectations your superintendent (or your district supervisor) has for your performance, and other critical reflections and information.
  • A planning tool to help you connect your entry to the efforts you will initiate to move your learning organization forward.
