What is the RAPPS Project?

RAPPS is a comprehensive leadership development program focused on preparation of principals for high poverty and remote Alaska schools, and support for those who are currently serving in those schools.

The program consists of three components: 1) preservice, 2) induction, and 3) training and technical assistance for principals in high need districts.  The Alaska Staff Development Network houses the project and facilitates professional development activities.
