Leadership Collaborative

Are you leading the way? Time to tell others about it…

Call for Best Practices, Articles, Papers and Plans

Let’s say your advancement office or one of your division heads has established a highly successful signature program. Or your administrative leadership team has solved a nagging organizational problem. Now you can share the essence of that successful program, approach or strategy between annual school conferences with PlanOnline as your online publisher. At the same time you can feel good about contributing to a growing online library of need-to-know information on what’s working where. In addition, the news desk at PlanOnline forwards a monthly Leadership Collaborative Update to independent school trade press as an information resource. This year your school’s results could help an NAIS or CASE writer’s research.

Submit your best practices (25 - 250 words), articles and papers (250 - 1000 words), and plans (one to five pages) to PlanOnline.org and we’ll review them for publishing. If accepted, we’ll publish your school’s good work within 72 hours of receipt. We’ll even include your return email address at your request so others are able to contact you to get the full story.

Schools submitting a best practice, paper or plan accepted for publication in the Leadership Collaborative are listed as contributors at the PlanOnline.org website.
