Are You Interested in Having Your Teachers Trained in the Well-Managed Schools Classroom Management Approach?

Researchers at Iowa State University are conducting a study to evaluate the Well-Managed Schools (WMS) classroom management approach. WMS is a set of strategies that can be used by teachers during day-to-day classroom instruction, focusing on social skills and dealing with inappropriate behaviors. WMS can be implemented as a stand-alone approach or be integrated within a school-wide MTSS-B/PBIS model. The research is being funded by a five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Studies.

The grant pays all costs for participating teachers, including training, follow-up coaching and stipends. Participating schools will also receive $50 per participating teacher each year of the study and reimbursement for substitute costs, if needed. Researchers are now contacting schools about participation for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years, with the goal of adding 150 additional classrooms each year. The Well-Managed Schools Workshop and Well-Managed Schools Project Overview provide more detail on the research study and the Well-Managed Schools training. For​ ​more​ ​information,​ ​contact​ ​Charlie​ ​Johnson​ ​at​ ​(515) 520-2467.

Using the data, faculty and school leaders can design strategies for increasing levels of active, engaged learning and higher-order instruction while reducing the degree of student disengagement during learning time. In addition to fostering positive instructional change, the process can also serve as an indicator of the relative impact of a school’s technology investment and instructional interventions. During the workshop, participants will develop the skills to document student engagement through the use of technology and learn how to use the profiles to engage faculty in collaborative learning conversations about engagement, instructional change, technology integration and school-wide instructional goals.

New Statewide AEA PD Registration System is on the Horizon!

Iowa’s AEAs and AEA Learning Online have been collaborating to move our individual professional development and licensure registration systems to a statewide professional learning registration system. Having one registration system will provide participants with a much larger offering of professional learning activities through a statewide catalog. It also creates greater equity and consistency in programming and resources to help support quality professional development and licensure programming.

System Benefits

View All Offerings That Are Available Statewide
Individuals who use the system will be able to see all courses and activities that are available across the state. Users may search by specific courses, topics, location and more.

Instructors Will Find a User Friendly System
There are system enhancements for instructors! Once an instructor enters a course in the system, they don’t have to repeat that process again. They simply enter a new section for that activity. That includes the syllabus. Once a syllabus is approved, it’s valid across all AEAs!

All Completed Courses Will be in One Transcript
In the new system, there will be one common transcript that shows all courses taken by an individual, including courses from AEA Learning Online. Anything that the individual has taken from an Iowa AEA will show up in one document. Users will be able to print their own transcripts and receipts for tax purposes.

Split the Payments!
Split payment options for credit cards and/or purchase orders will be available in the new system.

Login is Easy and Familiar
Users of the new system will log in using their existing email and password that they use to login to take AEA Learning Online courses as well as Mandatory Reporter and Bloodborne Pathogens trainings.

**In the coming days, expect to see more information and updates through various AEA communication channels.
