Welcome to PlanOnline’s Leadership Library

This area is designed to be an online learning community working to build a powerful repository and network of values-driven strategic and marketing planning information and inspiration.

Here you can:

  • Deepen your understanding of school leadership
  • Interact with other school leaders and exchange best practices
  • Access learning tools of interest and values to you and your colleagues

Who is the Leadership Library -- and Leadership Collaborative -- for?

Teachers, administrators, heads of school, board members, parents and alumni. The Leadership Collaborative is designed to assist you in leading others and planning for the future of your school.

We have web readers who are constantly scanning online resources for useful links, reprintable information and planning tools to complement your planning efforts. We also share our own presentations and those of others for adaptation and use in your school setting and share our opinions and thinking and those of others in white papers and articles on topics of importance in school life.

We hope you will become part of the Leadership Collaborative by responding to the call for white papers, presentations, articles or best practices. We also hope you will return often. Contact us at research@planonline.org if you have any special requests.

What’s available?

Need to know information and useful resources for school leaders as they seek to guide their institutions to becoming schools of their dreams having the impact they most desire.
