Administrative Leadership Profile Survey
ALPS Brochure

The Administrative Leadership Profile Survey (ALPS) was designed to help Jesuit high schools reflect on and evaluate the role and performance of admin­istrative leader­ship in their institutions. Two versions of ALPS currently exist, one for the role of President and the other for the role of Prin­cipal. JSEA publishes the instrument and handles the processing and reporting of re­sults.

Survey items are grounded in research on effective leadership and healthy organizations. In addition, ALPS incorporates themes relating to the mission of Jesuit education as treated in documents of the Society of Jesus, particularly Go Forth and Teach: The Characteristics of Jesuit Education (1987).

ALPS consists of three sections.

• The first section is a paper and pencil instrument comprising seventy-two descriptors of what might be expected of someone in the role of a Jesuit high school president or principal.
• The second section of a series of questions relating to the president’s or principal’s leadership filled out by the constituency and compiled by JSEA.
• The third section of ALPS is the Survey of the Organizational Health of the School. Meant to set a context within which to understand the profile of the president or principal, it is also a paper-pencil instrument, comprising thirty-four statements about the school as an organization.
• The final report is organized into an Administrative Leadership Profile.
