The Iowa Department of Education has announced a series of February public forums and a statewide survey following a state panel’s recommendation to get public feedback on the Next Generation Science Standards. These are a set of learning expectations in science for students in kindergarten through high school. The Next Generation Science Standards were developed by 26 states, including Iowa. All states can consider adopting and adapting them to meet their needs.
Public feedback will be used to provide guidance to the Science Standards Review Team, which is expected to submit a final recommendation regarding science standards to the State Board of Education later this year.
The survey, which is open through February 27, can be found at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VW6SHDY?c=Iowa_Science_Survey

A common theme we hear among area school administrators is the need for more substitute teachers. Heartland AEA is an approved provider of the substitute authorization program, and we would like to assist you in recruiting more substitute teachers from your communities. Below are some tools to help assist you in this effort.
Poster
These posters may be hung in your schools during parent/teacher conferences and sporting events and around the community. There is space at the bottom of the poster where you can write in the district’s/school’s hiring contact information. Posters can be ordered through our Creative Services department. Posters will be printed on 13x19 hardy poster paper and cost 40 cents each. Complete a Creative Services order form and under item description, write “Substitute Teacher Poster” with the quantity. Completed forms can be sent to Jill Crees, Production Facilitator, at creativeservices@heartlandaea.org. Allow two weeks for process and delivery.

The Iowa Department of Education this week released the latest edition of the Annual Condition of Education report. The report provides a wide range of state-level data, including shifts in student populations and demographics, teacher salaries and characteristics, student achievement results and school financial information.
Iowa Department of Education Director Brad Buck informed school administrators in December 2014 that the Department will no longer automatically grant waivers from the school start date law, which says schools cannot begin classes before the week of September 1 unless they provide evidence of “significant negative educational impact.”
Iowa law does not define “significant negative educational impact” or establish guidelines for considering waivers. This guidance document, released to school administrators on Jan. 21, does both of these things.
Save the date for the annual Our Kids Summer Institute scheduled this year for June 16-17 which will provide participants with the opportunity to network with other educational professionals and to discover new strategies for working with English Language Learners throughout Iowa.
A new SIS manager support group will be starting up this month. Three experienced SIS managers (Kendra Wolf of A-D-M, Sandra Lathum of Norwalk, and Cathy Fitzgerald from Ames) are going to help get the group organized. This support will come in three main forms:
1) a number of face-to-face meetings held at central locations at strategic times of the year -- the dates of these meetings will be determined by the members of the group.
2) a number of online meetings using the Zoom video conference software -- the dates of these online meetings will be determined by the members of the group.
3) a listserv, similar to the ones used by the tech coordinator and tech integration groups.
The first meeting will be held via Zoom on Feb. 11 from 9:30-11 a.m. The first part of the meeting will focus on State reporting, including the new Civil Rights reporting requirements. If you are unable to attend this first online meeting, a summary of what was discussed will be posted to the listserv. (Please note that this first meeting date is changed from the original plan of Jan. 23.)
More information will be sent in the next week about how to log in to Zoom meetings, as well as how to join the listserv. We hope this new group will provide strong support to its members, in the same way that our tech coordinator group functions.
If you have questions, contact Lance Wilhelm, Director of Technology at (800) 255-0405, ext. 14324.
Based on the many requests of administrators, Connie Toenjes has redesigned the “Assessing Academic Rigor” class for teacher re-licensure credit. This class has the same content as the class for administrators, but has been modified to fit the needs of classroom teachers, instructional coaches, curriculum directors, etc. Participants will learn to use the Revised Blooms' Taxonomy Table as a tool for measuring, assessing and aligning for rigor in the classroom. With the focus on the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy and the assessment of academic rigor in our classrooms, teachers will build their capacity to understand how to look for and identify rigor and alignment in their classrooms in order to increase student learning. The use of the RBT in assessing rigor will deepen the skills of teachers as they work to implement the Iowa Core.
Note: The content of this class is most beneficial if teams from a district go through the process of assessing and aligning their curriculum together. Participants need to bring a unit of study to analyze as part of Day 2 fulfillment.
Assessing and Aligning Academic Rigor in the Classroom

Iowa Testing reports that the 2015 I-ELDA assessments required of all identified English Language Learners in Iowa are already being shipped to districts that have ordered. This is a reminder that the annual test window will open soon and also that district individuals who administer that assessment must renew the IELDA test administration certification annually. You can look through the 2013-14 Moodle Training site (which is also used this year).
Corwith-Wesley CSD has some outstanding MS/HS teachers that will be looking for work in some hard-to-find areas, and I would really like to help them find a job. Corwith-Wesley CSD (MS/HS) will cease to exist at the end of June 2015; the district will be dissolving.
Superintendents can call me anytime if you are going to have a potential opening that you know of or you want to talk to me about one of these outstanding MS/HS teachers. I would love to see all of those that want to continue in education have a job before the year ends. This sheet not only contains each teacher and endorsement but also non-certified staff members.
Thanks!

About 28 days of OLLIE
Online communities and learning networks are helping educators create innovative solutions to age-old problems, and fulfill the promise of today and tomorrow's educational landscape. Because online learning is evolving quickly it is especially important for online teachers to connect and collaborate.
The 28 days of OLLIE is an excellent opportunity for online teachers to benefit from each other in exchanging ideas and experiences, as well as gain some insight into the newest innovations in online learning.
Throughout the month there will be coordinated opportunities for online teachers to connect with each other, engage in and learn from. It is our hope that at the end of this month the connections that are formed among and between the community members will extend beyond the 28 days and lead to community of online teachers that can support each other in future work.
What to Expect during 28 days of OLLIE
28 days of OLLIE is meant to provide online teachers with learning opportunities focused on enhancing their ability to teach in blended or online environments. The community facilitators will be hosting a variety learning opportunities or events for educators.
As a community member you can:
• Engage content that will enhance your ability to teach in a blended or online environment (viewing resources, reading blog posts, attending live or recorded webinars)

The Iowa Department of Education has launched a web-based survey and could use your help. The Department is interested in learning about partnerships between Iowa schools and parents of school-age children who receive special education. The results will be compared to national findings and used to identify areas of success and those in need of improvement.
The survey will close Jan. 15. Here is the link: https://www.edinfo.state.ia.us/I-Star/parents/start.aspx
Please share the link with parents of children who receive special education. The more feedback, the better.
This comes directly from the Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education.
The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice today released joint guidance reminding states, school districts, and schools of their obligations under federal law to ensure that English learner students have equal access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential.
In addition to the guidance, the Departments also released additional tools and resources to help schools in serving English learner students and parents with limited English proficiency:
- A fact sheet in English and in other languages about schools’ obligations under federal law to ensure that English learner students can participate meaningfully and equally in school.
- A fact sheet in English and in other languages about schools’ obligations under federal law to communicate information to limited English proficient parents in a language they can understand.
- A toolkit to help school districts identify English learner students, prepared by the Education Department’s Office of English Language Acquisition. This is the first chapter in a series of chapters to help state education agencies and school districts meet their obligations to English learner students.
This is the first time that a single piece of guidance has addressed the array of federal laws that govern schools’ obligations to English learners. The guidance recognizes the recent milestone 40th anniversaries of Lau v. Nichols and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 (EEOA), as well as the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The EEOA, similar to Lau, requires public schools to take appropriate action to help English learner students overcome language barriers and ensure their ability to participate equally in school.
The guidance explains schools’ obligations to:
- identify English learner students in a timely, valid and reliable manner;
- offer all English learner students an educationally sound language assistance program;
- provide qualified staff and sufficient resources for instructing English learner students;
- ensure English learner students have equitable access to school programs and activities
- avoid unnecessary segregation of English learner students from other students;
- monitor students’ progress in learning English and doing grade-level classwork;
- remedy any academic deficits English learner students incurred while in a language assistance program;
- move students out of language assistance programs when they are proficient in English and monitor those students to ensure they were not prematurely removed;
- evaluate the effectiveness of English learner programs; and
- provide limited English proficient parents with information about school programs, services, and activities in a language they understand.
Find a letter of information for ordering the 2015 Iowa English Language Development Assessment (I-ELDA) from David Henkhaus of Iowa Testing. Additionally, there are updated ordering directions from the I-ELDA training Moodle. The Moodle has been updated for 2014-15 and is ready for use by test administrators to earn their 2015 certificate.
Save the dates for two upcoming ELL professional development opportunities to be held in Johnston at the Stoney Creek Inn:
• April 22, 2015: Advocating for ELLs: Overview for School and District Administrators
• April 23-24, 2015: Advocating for ELLs: Overview for Teachers and Teacher Leaders
Registration information will be available soon and course credit will be awarded for the April 23-24 course for full participation. Administrators are also encouraged to attend on Days 2-3. Title III funds will be used to cover the cost of substitute teachers.
The course will be grounded in the book Advocating for English Learners: A Guide for Educators by Diane Staehr Fenner. Copies will be purchased for participants. A description is available at http://www.corwin.com/books/Book239353/reviews

The dissemination of information from external organizations by
Heartland AEA does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of the
information. It is being passed on to our stakeholders for its
educational value.
We know that students use
Google for its one-click feature. Students now
have that one-click access but with one BIG difference—the results are
from reliable and trusted sources of information. Heartland AEA’s new
SUPERSearch combines many of our online databases into one search
interface!
There are separate interfaces for elementary, middle school and high school
students listed on our grade-specific online resource pages. Each grade span links to different age-appropriate databases.
What are the benefits for students?
- It addresses the practical reality that students want in a Google-like search experience.
- It provides quality full-text search results.
- It includes links to thousands of research starters - think of it as a curated, vetted Wikipedia.
- It’s a tool to help
students personalize their research—save to folders, social media,
persistent links and automatic citation generator.
- It’s an expectation
for college and career readiness. Many Iowa colleges and universities
provide this type of search interface for their students.
To become college and
career ready, the Common Core Standards require that students master
digital literacy, which is the ability to gather facts from narrative or
informational texts in any source or format, understand and use the
information appropriately, and then be able to communicate it to others
using a variety of print, audio and visual media.
Another piece of digital
literacy is digital inquiry. Not only must students evaluate and analyze
their reading, they must learn to ask questions that go beyond
assembling simple facts to gathering information that helps them reach a
new level of understanding. Reading critically and asking deeper
questions that lead students to new understanding is at the heart of
digital literacy and higher order thinking skills.
Watch a short video demonstrating the SUPERSearch features and get started on your learning journey!
Upcoming Webinars
You’ll learn why students and teachers will want to make this their first stop for research!
Monday, Jan. 12 will mark the opening day to the Iowa Legislature’s 2015 session of the 86th General Assembly. Find a list of contact information for all Iowa House and Senate members in Heartland’s area.

Activity Number: PP002007201501
Starting Jan. 15, 2015, two changes will occur with the Web IEP Program.
1) The Extended School Year (ESY) form will be available on the IEP program when “Yes” is checked to the question, “Are Extended School Year (ESY) services required?” on tab G. The form will be available via the Forms tab.
Users will be able to document up to four goal areas on the ESY form. The Incomplete Data Report (IDR) will require the form when “yes” is selected to the ESY question. An explanation will also be required when the question is answered “yes”. The form will be editable regardless of the IEP status (open, submitted, ready to review, validated and archived). This is similar to updating progress on graphs.
If ESY on tab G was marked “yes” previously, the ESY form can be added via the “Forms for Active IEP” button on the IEP overview screen.
2) Forms created on an IEP will be restorable. Currently, when a form is deleted, it is gone and cannot be retrieved. Beginning Jan. 15, users of the Web IEP will be able to contact the Web IEP Administrators (Sue Dunsmoor and Mary Keul) requesting that the deleted form be restored or permanently deleted.
If there is a form in the recycle bin, the IDR will display a message and the count number on the tab will show a number other than “0”. However, users will be able to mark the IEP, “Ready to Review,” and the IEP can go through the review process and be validated.
If you have questions, please contact Misty Christensen at (800) 255-0405 ext. 11203.
