As a statewide effort, OLI⁴ seeks to broaden the involvement of collaborative partners by working with the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council (OLAC), institutions of higher education that receive grants through the Ohio Deans Compact on Exceptional Children to restructure administrator preparation programs, and other key partners:

• Ohio Council of Professors of Educational Administration (OCPEA)
  • http://education-human-services.wright.edu/ocpea/
• Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA)
  • http://www.basa-ohio.org
• Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA)
  • http://www.oaesa.org
• Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators (OASSA)
  • http://www.oassa.org
• Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT)
  • http://oh.aft.org

Bringing a diversity of perspectives to bear while maintaining an unwavering commitment to developing principal capacity within the context of the existing statewide, systemic improvement process (i.e., OIP-OLAC), reduces fragmentation and duplication, infuses OLI⁴ content and improves alignment within and across existing principal professional development efforts.
