CCSSO Advancing Inclusive Principal Leadership (AIPL) State Initiative

Last week, CCSSO announced the Advancing Inclusive Principal Leadership (AIPL) State Initiative, a new effort to help states create and implement principal leadership plans focused on improving outcomes for every student, especially those with disabilities.

Through the AIPL State Initiative, supported by Oak Foundation and the CEEDAR Center, five states will deepen and refine their principal development efforts to ensure an intentional focus on supporting the academic and social success of students with disabilities. The participating states include Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi and Ohio, all of which have demonstrated commitment to bolstering principal capacity to effectively support students with disabilities.

The full press release is available here along with a write-up by EdWeek’s Christina Samuels here, with more information including the five states and the partners involved in this effort.
