Heartland AEA has been awarded a new E2T2 grant for 2009–2012 called, Aligning Math/Science Instruction to the Iowa Core Curriculum. The focus of the new grant will be 8th–12th grade teachers and administrators who support mathematics, science, technology and students with differing learning needs. Much of the workshop delivery will be during summers and thorough electronic options during the school year.
An informational meeting for school/district administrators, technology coordinators and math and/or science lead teachers will be held on February 22 from 8:30–11:30 a.m. in Rooms 3 & 4 at the Johnston Office. The meeting will also be available via webinar.
At this meeting we will explain the direction of the new project, demonstrate some of the tools and software we hope to incorporate, define timelines and share possible options for purchase or reimbursement for teachers (schools/districts) that are part of the project. Cohort A will begin Spring 2010 and Cohort B will begin Spring 2011.
