UAB Regional Inservice Center, Dr. Boyd Rogan, Director (School of Education)

UAB’s Regional Inservice Center (Region 5) includes eight of the twelve school systems in the unit’s service area. The Center is involved in implementing and facilitating four major regional and state-wide professional development programs at this time: Alabama Reading initiative, Alabama Reading First initiative, Technology in Motion and Alabama Leadership Academy.

Alabama's In-Service Education Centers were established by the Alabama legislature in 1984-85. The purpose of the centers is to provide professional development to the K-12 educators within each centers' geographic region. They are funded annually by the State Department of Education.
