Save the Date for School Budget Workshops, Feb. 1, 15 & March 6
Every winter, Heartland AEA invites the Iowa School Finance Information Services (ISFIS) to facilitate budget workshops for superintendents and business managers. The 2013 workshops will be held on February 1, 15 and March 6, 2013. Below are the workshop formats.
The first session from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. will be for newer superintendents and business managers that haven't been through the budget process, have different financial situations or just need a little extra assistance.
The second session from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. will be geared towards superintendents and business managers that have been through the budget process before who want to get in and out and do not anticipate needing much one-on-one help. To attend this session, you must complete the following worksheets BEFORE the session: FY12 Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 AND FY13 Re-estimated Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2.
Watch for registration information in the Administrator Connection in the next month or so.

UNI to Offer Advanced Studies Certificate in Superintendency Program
The University of Northern Iowa's Department of Educational Leadership & Postsecondary Education is accepting applications through November 15 for the Advanced Studies Certificate in Superintendency Program. Twenty percent of students in the past two superintendency cohort groups secured jobs requiring a superintendent's license before the program was over. Scheduled to begin in spring 2013, the program can be completed from a distance in two years by participating in eight courses and extensive internship experiences.
Offered in conjunction with UNI's Continuing & Distance Education, the program is designed for individuals seeking endorsement in the state of Iowa as a superintendent. More than 30 percent of new superintendents hired in Iowa over the past two years are UNI graduates. This performance-based program is unique in that it minimizes student class time and maximizes skill development while working with a mentor.
Many courses include an online component, and summer sessions may include some classes on the UNI campus. The program is organized as a cohort, where students will study with the same group of adult learners. Through this program, students may also be able to apply for the doctoral program and apply the units of credit toward the doctoral degree. Graduates from the program have access to a network of professionals who can help in the critical first years as a superintendent.
For more information about the Advanced Studies Certificate in Superintendency Program and additional offerings available through UNI Continuing & Distance Education at UNI, visit www.uni.edu/continuinged or call (319) 273-7740 or (800) 648-3864.
