The REEA Diamond DREI program is administered by the REEA Diamond DREI Leadership Council which is elected by the REEA Diamond DREI membership. The REEA Diamond DREI designation is a classroom teaching designation that adheres to the Generally Accepted Principles of Education (GAPE) adopted by REEA.

As a longtime teacher and presenter, I always thought I was "pretty good." But when I enrolled in my first REEA class, I quickly realized I was still a novice. The knowledge, resources, and expertise that REEA and its members provide are truly unmatched--and greatly appreciated. I am honored and privileged to be part of this organization, and as both a DREI and GSI, I proudly wear my pins with gratitude!
