Join IASA and ECRA Group on June 9 or June 17 for a free webinar on how the Accountability system behaves across the state, where districts commonly go wrong and what the data says about which interventions move the needle.
If the superintendency is where you're headed, IASA has built the pathway to get you there. We're now accepting applications for the FY27 Foundations in Leadership and Vision Professional Learning Community — the entry point in IASA's Aspiring Superintendent Pathway.
Do you serve as both superintendent and principal?
If so, you already know this role comes with a distinct set of challenges — and that most professional learning wasn't built with you in mind.
IASA is changing that. We're building the SuperPals Cohort, a new peer network designed specifically for superintendent-principals — and we want your input before we finalize the program.
As Illinois' only Professional Learning Community designed exclusively for Assistant Superintendents and Central Office administrators, Level Up gives you the tools, the peers, and the space to level up your leadership — strengthening departments, developing teams, and improving outcomes for students across Illinois.
We hope you can join us July 13–15 in Springfield for the first in a series of gatherings built exclusively for new district leaders and rooted in decades of real-world experience. The IASA New Superintendents' Conference is a unique opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners and build lasting connections with peers navigating the same transition.

Most districts are good at communicating with current families — but what about everyone else? In this episode, Craig Williams of IASA Corporate Partner Journey 12 joins superintendents Dr. Jennifer Garrison and Sherri Smith to discuss how a strategic storytelling partner can help districts build trust with their whole community — not just the families already in their buildings
As state environmental departments continue to test water systems across the country, the results have indicated elevated levels of PFAS, compelling schools to take immediate action.

Held, provide a comprehensive look at PFAS contamination from both the technical and practitioner perspectives.
