Introduction to Learning Acceleration Virtual Learning Series, Coming Oct. 24

How can so many students be graduating from high school unprepared to meet their goals for college and careers?

Students have big, clear plans.

Most students do what they’re asked in school—but are still not ready to succeed after school!

Students spend most of their time in school without access to 4 key resources:

• grade-appropriate assignments
• strong instruction
• deep engagement
• teachers who hold high expectations

Students of color, those from low-income families, English language learners, and students with mild to moderate disabilities have even less access to these resources than their peers.

When students who started the year behind grade level had access to stronger instruction, they closed gaps with their peers by six months.

Come learn more about how to support providing these four key resources!

Introduction to Learning Acceleration will lead development sessions for district and school instructional leaders as well as AEA consultants to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and mindsets they need to provide students access to grade-appropriate assignments and strong instruction.

• The Opportunity Myth
• Introduction to learning acceleration and systems reflection on readiness
• Ensuring access to strong grade level instruction to accelerate to grade level
• Observational tools and feedback for accelerated instruction

Approved as Evidence-based Practice

Learning acceleration is approved by the Iowa Department of Education as an evidence-based practice. This may be of particular interest to schools with ESSA designations since it is focused on growth of all students. Heartland AEA is committed to supporting this work and already trained a majority of our professional learning providers and will be supporting their attendance in the Application and Coaching Series.

COMING 2023! TNTP Learning Series: Application and Coaching

**Dates for Part 2 of the Learning Acceleration Series--Application and Coaching will be announced in late November/early December.
