Prior Learning Inventory (PLI)
The Prior Learning Inventory (PLI) helps you correlate your prior learning with the 10 Leadership Standards contained in the Florida State Board of Education Rule (6B-5.012). Educators seeking leadership roles and to improve their performance in such roles may benefit from use of the PLI.
Based on your input, the PLI will create reports that show where your prior learning has prepared you to implement the various standards. Areas you leave incomplete will indicate possible professional growth needs.
The PLI is useful as a self-assessment tool to guide your professional growth. It will help guide your reflective study of the Leadership Standards and is a useful addition to application packets for those seeking positions as school leaders.
The Reports
Once you enter your prior learning into the PLI it presents the information in two reports: the Learning Summary Report and the Detailed Report.
- The Learning Summary Report lists the Leadership Standards, skill sets, and Relative Leadership Strengths in which you have experience. The Future Learning Issues area of the report summarizes the Leadership Standards and skills sets in which you may wish to pursue further professional growth.
- The Detailed Report lists all of the specific professional growth experience you have entered into your PLI for each of the Leadership Standards.
Upon completion of this program you may print out PDF versions of your reports or, if you choose, you may save the reports to your computer and email the PDFs to a Florida School district. School district personnel offices may benefit from information that presents your prior learning in the context of the state Leadership Standards. As your professional growth continues, you may return to the PLI and update your information at any time.
Ethical Leadership
One of the 10 Leadership Standards focuses on ethical behavior. One aspect of ethical behavior is honest input into the PLI. It is not a replacement for your resume but a special supplement to it. With honest and accurate input, the PLI will help you and your school district review how your prior learning relates to the Leadership Standards.
