  1. SREB Training
  • Updates

Dean Carlson will request clarification from Jeanne Burns on the continued use of grant funds to support “train-the-trainer” sessions. Once clarifications have been received, fund allocations can be made, where appropriate. Interested parties have been advised that limits on continued training, supported by grant funds, will be necessary; however, the attendance at “train-the-trainer” sessions can be made outside of The Wallace Foundation Grant. Interested parties are encouraged to seek additional funding sources.

  • Survey

Meeting participants were asked to complete the survey to assist in compiling accurate information on SREB participation. Surveys were administered to those in attendance. A request was made to supply information prior to dismissal from the meeting. Copies are also available via the website and in the coordinator’s office at the VermilionConferenceCenter. This information is essential to the creation of a professional development plan and the proper dissemination of CLUs. Surveys collected have been added to the surveys previously received; however, a number of the surveys were left incomplete. A major component of the survey is the redelivery piece. Participants whose SREB training has been funded by the Wallace Foundation Grant will be required to provide information for purposes of redelivery, so that future PD plans can be made.
