Two WCS Principals Graduate IPLI

Posted

Harrison Elementary Principal Lee Snider and WCS Chief Academic Officer David Robertson graduated from the Indiana Principal Leadership Institute at a ceremony April 20. Housed at Indiana State University’s Bayh College of Education, IPLI is a two-year experience that addresses the professional needs of Indiana public school principals with an emphasis on student success. It was created with bipartisan support by the Indiana General Assembly in 2013. Snider and Robertson were part of 56 principals in IPLI’s first class. Their accomplishments include boosting the individual grades of their schools, implementing data-driven processes to enhance student performance, improving classroom instruction and strengthening school culture, according to a press release from Warsaw Community Schools. More than 72,000 students in 58 counties have been touched by their work. Additionally, 20 of the first cohort’s 56 principals saw their school grades increase under the A-F model.
