Heartland Area Education Agency has been working with West Wind Education Policy to develop a series of workshops to help districts develop their Teacher Leadership and Compensation Grants. Click here for more detailed information including where to register.
The purpose of this workshop series is to prepare local districts to make informed decisions about teacher leadership and compensation models. The goals are to enable each participating district team to submit a compelling and competitive plan to implement a local teacher leadership and compensation system to the Iowa Department of Education and be well positioned to implement their plans, if funds are awarded.

Network Maintenance Scheduled Oct. 24
On Thursday, October 24, from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m., the ICN and Heartland AEA will be installing a new network switch and will transition the PK-12 school traffic to a new 10Gb interface.
During this maintenance window, some of the school Internet services will be restored sooner than the others, but we will try to keep the downtime for each school to a minimum. This upgrade will also affect Heartland AEA web services during the scheduled hours.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but appreciate your patience as we do this necessary upgrade. Please contact Tuan Dao, Network Administrator, at (515) 473-6702 if you have any questions.
