The SREB Learning-Centered Leadership Program’s curriculum of online courses engages principals and school leadership teams in professional development through a Web-based learning environment of study, collaboration, reflection and application of learning to authentic school reform efforts. Each course requires participants to apply acquired skills and strategies to a real problem in their schools related to student performance. Participants will analyze the causes of the problem, arrive at solutions to the problem and develop an action plan with implementation strategies to address the problem. Online Leadership Training Courses are available in seven topics.

Online courses are divided into at least seven units. Each unit requires four to five hours of work to be completed within one week. Participants will normally take eight weeks to complete a course. Whether participants take courses as individuals or as part of a school team, they will gain the most value from this course by committing to regular online engagement, including completing assignments and applying learning to a course project based on an identified problem in their school.
