Our Work

The Ohio Leadership Advisory Council was created to examine how a leadership "system" for educators could be developed that reaches from top to bottom across all levels. This system, which includes superintendents, principals and teachers, would affect every level of Ohio's educational enterprise-from the state, to the district, school building and classroom.

The goals of OLAC's work are to identify the:

• Essential skills or practices that superintendents and leadership teams at the district and school levels must demonstrate to improve instructional practices and student performance.
• Types of professional development and support needed to assist leaders in acquiring these skills, and how it can be deployed to all for universal access, as well as for more targeted or intensive support for districts that need it.
• Tools or products needed to facilitate educational leaders' development.
• Policy implications that must be considered in developing a coordinated and coherent leadership development system.
