Southern Regional Education Board
The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) is an organization that supports education through various programs, research, and policy initiatives across member states.
Academic Common Market Program
The Southern Regional Education Board's Academic Common Market program allows students to pay in-state tuition rates at out-of-state institutions for certain programs. This initiative aims to provide students with greater access to specialized academic programs that may not be available in their home states, thereby enhancing educational opportunities while reducing costs.
Doctoral Scholars Program
The Doctoral Scholars Program by SREB is designed to increase the number of minority faculty members in higher education institutions. This program offers support such as financial assistance, professional development, and networking opportunities to minority students pursuing doctoral degrees, thereby addressing diversity disparities in academia.
Educational Technology Cooperative
The Southern Regional Education Board runs an Educational Technology Cooperative that supports both K-12 and higher education institutions. This initiative focuses on integrating technology into teaching and learning processes, providing resources and strategies to enhance educational outcomes through the effective use of technology.
Making Schools Work Summer Conference
SREB hosts the annual Making Schools Work Summer Conference, bringing together educators, administrators, and policymakers to discuss and share strategies for school improvement. The conference offers workshops, sessions, and networking opportunities aimed at developing and implementing effective educational practices.
Readiness Courses and Advanced Career Curricula
The Southern Regional Education Board provides readiness courses to help students transition smoothly from middle grades to high school and from high school to postsecondary education. Additionally, SREB develops Advanced Career curricula that connect academic learning with hands-on projects in high-demand STEM fields, preparing students for both college and careers.
