IASA is deeply committed to strengthening the work of superintendents and preparing future leaders. We offer personalized and on-demand professional development for superintendents, administrators, principals and teachers. 

Every workshop or academy IASA offers is led by an experienced and knowledgeable practitioner. Our academies are designed to help educators fulfill state requirements for administrator academy credits and evaluator credentials. We also take pride in offering timely workshops that meet the ever-changing needs of superintendents, as well as help school leaders get refocused and rejuvenated. Institute Days and Administrative Retreats can be scheduled in your district. In addition, IASA members have access to the IASA Annual Conference and New Superintendents Conference.
