Yes/yes.Duration of Program
Most modules require a three-day instructional time frame; however, for example, Leading Assessment and Instruction requires five days. Instructional time frames are not consecutive days as there is a break in instruction so that the participants can apply new skills learned in the training. After the application, participants return for more training. In Creating a High-Performance Learning Culture, participants receive three days of continuous instruction, apply their learning, and then return for another day of instruction.Outcomes Measured
The SREB leadership modules have at their core a set of courses or learning experiences that prepare aspiring principals and school leadership teams to lead improvement in curriculum, instruction, and student achievement.Program Evaluation
The Old Dominion University for Research and Evaluation in Public Schools will conduct the program evaluation. Participants' progress will be monitored by their respective school divisions.Contact Information
