HANCOCK COUNTY — Two Hancock County principals have been selected for the sixth cohort of the Indiana Principal Leadership Institute (IPLI) at Indiana State University’s Bayh College of Education. Chosen among 49 principals, the sixth cohort includes Katy Eastes of New Palestine Elementary and Jan Kehrt of Harris Elementary.

The Indiana Principal Leadership Institute is a two-year experience designed to address the professional needs of Indiana public school principals with an emphasis on student success. The institute will increase a principal’s capacity to address the current needs of her/his school, such as effective instruction, student performance, community involvement and shaping a strong school culture.

Cohort No. 6 will be guided by 11 trained mentors who are experienced Indiana school leaders. They will play a key role in guiding smaller regional focus-cohorts in their areas of the state.

In addition to the targeted work with each cohort, IPLI is committed to serving as a resource for all Indiana principals, their schools and their school communities. This includes sharing research, providing access to leadership assessments and offering tools to develop action research plans.
