Heartland AEA setting the Agency’s Direction

We have had the opportunity this fall to establish our goals based on current achievement outcomes. It is our hope to work in partnership with families and local districts to accomplish these goals. The goals are as follows:

Goal 1: By 2015, Heartland AEA will enhance student learning.
Indicators:

• Increase learning growth as measured by the number of districts/schools demonstrating growth in student performance
• Increase in core preparation rate of high school graduates by minimum of 5 percent per year until all students meet criteria for post-secondary education/career success
• Decrease the gap in achievement for students with disabilities, English Language Learners, students living in poverty and all racial/ethnic groups to proficiency within three years using standardized measures

Goal 2: By 2015, Heartland AEA will cultivate a high performance workplace.

• Indicators (development in progress)

Goal 3: By 2015, Heartland AEA will increase operational efficiency and effectiveness.

• Indicators (development in progress)

Based on these goals, the plan for our regional structure is to reflect better focus our efforts on student achievement. Click here to download the Agency’s new regional structure. We have established regional meeting dates where leaders in Heartland AEA will share these changes and gather input from District Leadership.
