SREB Training
PREPS is Virginia's SREB trainer and Richmond City Public Schools was the first district to complete SREB training. One principal wrote, “All of the information presented was not only pertinent for my school, but also for [the] district. Thank you!" Another principal said, “I have learned much about myself as an administrator and many ways to improve my leadership and areas of concern in my building." Still another commented, "This has been one of the best trainings I've ever attended. We want more, more, more…."
The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) has recognized that every school requires effective leaders to improve student performance. In response to the need for effective school leaders, the SREB and its partners have developed a cutting-edge school leadership curriculum. The curriculum contains 14 modules intended to help principals and school leadership teams know and to be able to do what is necessary to improve a school's instructional program and raise student achievement.
PREPS is proud to announce that we can now provide SREB Leadership Module training for your school division that will:
1. Enable your district leaders to successfully address a range of challenging AYP issues
2. Prepare your aspiring leaders to pass the SLLA assessment; and
3. Develop increased capacity in your district to create the conditions for success in your schools.
We are most excited that our trainers are practicing principals in many of the Commonwealth's districts, e.g., Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Hampton, and Norfolk. These principals, who are members of the Principals' Center of Hampton Roads at Old Dominion University, have stepped up to the plate to acquire the knowledge and skills to assist other principals in the region. The Darden College of Education will provide additional slots for training its Principal Center members to become certified SREB Leadership trainers in 2005-2006.
