New Data Uploading Procedure for HEART
There is a new process for sending data for import into HEART. We would like for all data to be imported into HEART to come in via the secure upload that is now built into the HEART website. Please do not email data files or send data disks via U.S. Post or AEA van mail. The upload is safer and quicker. It can be found in the Management Control Panel link inside of HEART. Directions are available by clicking the HELP link on that page, as well as in the HEART Administrative Manual, which can be fount on our website at http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/educators/assessment/heart.html.
Thank you for using this system for data uploads. Please share this information with others in your district who might need to be aware of this new procedure.
HEART for New Administrators
If you are passing the torch to a new administrator after this year, please advise him/her to take the "HEART for New Administrators" class. The half-day class will be offered Friday, August 6, 2010 in the Johnston REC (6500 Corporate Drive) from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The class is intended for new administrators and also clerical or technical staff who have responsibilities for updating HEART. (The class can also be taken by those wanting a refresher.) Items covered will include using the HEART system for achievement data, managing security and other administrative functions in HEART and discussing a brief overview of the behavior module. This is the same content that is usually covered in "HEART for Administrators" classes. This early-bird class is intended to provide a learning opportunity early in the school year for new administrators and others.
