The Ohio University Leadership Project (OULP) represents an initiative directed at the professional development of school leaders. The OULP was initiated in 1994 and has grown significantly both in its program offerings and in its number of participants.  The OULP has as its purpose the identification, development, and implementation of needed professional development programs for school leaders.  Ongoing programs for elementary principals, secondary principals, superintendents, and treasurers have been conducted by the OULP.  In addition, the OULP has provided, upon request, professional development for the entire administrative teams of selected districts.  And, the OULP has conducted theme-based professional development programs.
