We are looking for 25 IASA members who share the vision of “Maximum Educational
Success for All Students” to become members of IASA’s elite professional development
cohort known as ISAL—the IASA School for Advanced Leadership.
Public education in Illinois is at a crossroads. Leadership matters more than ever as
resources are shrinking and expectations of excellence are growing. The mission of ISAL is
“To provide IASA members the experiences that build exemplary leadership, knowledge and
skill sets essential for ensuring successful student achievement at the local level.”
We have now celebrated the graduation of 100 leaders from ISAL. As you continue to pursue
your personal and professional development to the highest level of mastery, you may want to
consider becoming a member of the new ISAL Cohort V. It is a challenging two-year journey
focused on the development of a superintendent’s role through the following five leadership
lenses:
• Vision • Coherence • Change • Capacity • Culture
The benefits of ISAL include:
• Engaging in a comprehensive needs assessment to determine district, leadership, and
personal development needs.
• Having a certified professional coach
• Developing and implementing both a Personal and Professional Growth Plan
• Participating in enriching and collaborative learning sessions
Upon graduation you will become an ISAL Fellow. The ISAL Fellow designation has become
recognized as a badge of distinction throughout Illinois.
ISAL V begins on January 17, 2019 and will consist of 8 weekend sessions hosted by IASA
at its office in Springfield. January 17–19, March 15–16, June 21–22, September 13–14,
November 8–9, 2019; January 17–18, March 13–14, May 15–16, 2020.
