INALI
Indiana New Administrator Leadership Institute
The Indiana New Administrator Leadership Institute (INALI) is designed to help new or early career administrators become effective instructional leaders and to quickly and comfortably assume the responsibilities of building administration. INALI is a two-year professional development program that includes extensive teacher evaluation training, mentoring by retired or seasoned administrators, conferences and regional cohort meetings. With all of these interactions, INALI members have a monthly touchpoint that allows them to build camaraderie, connection and a commitment to this next phase of their career.

Mentoring Program
Mentoring is one of the most important and rewarding benefits of INALI. When you join the two-year INALI program, you’re placed in a regional cohort group with other new or early career administrators. A mentor is assigned to each regional group and every other month, the mentor meets with the group as a whole. Not only is this is an opportunity for the mentor to provide input and problem-solving suggestions, but it’s also a time for the group members to share experiences and learn from one another. In addition to these meetings, the mentor will visit each individual group member at his or her school once a semester.
INALI mentors are seasoned or retired administrators whose years of experience make them ideal choices to come alongside new or early career administrators and offer advice and serve as a sounding board.
