Heartland AEA can create almost anything you need to help your students achieve and your school run smoothly. Since we’ve taken on a more creative and custom approach to our services, we’ve decided to re-brand our Print & Production Services as Creative Services. This reflects our renewed focus on working with educators to create and produce items that truly fit you, your students’ and your school’s needs. As always, we offer:
- Graphic design
- Custom instructional materials (posters, maps, flip charts, flash cards, window clings, bookmarks, etc.)
- Printing and copying
- Lamination
- DVD & CD duplication
- Ellison letters and shapes
- Kurzweil scanning
- Braille transcription
One of the new products we are very excited about is our new poster printer. It can print 24 x 36 posters and banners of almost any length. We use a special, durable paper, almost like plastic. Since it is so durable, it doesn’t need to be laminated and it can be folded up and used from year to year. Can’t you just see one of our graphic designers creating a custom bulletin board design for you that your students will love? As we said, the sky’s the limit!

Kudos to Tom Lane, superintendent of the Carlisle Community School District, who was recently named the 2012-13 Iowa Superintendent of the Year by the School Administrators of Iowa. Lane was nominated by his peers and selected for the award by a committee of Iowa superintendents. Lane will be honored at a governor’s awards ceremony in late spring and at SAI’s awards banquet next August. He will also represent Iowa in the National Superintendent of the Year Program, sponsored by the American Association of School Administrators.
By request, we will now include the Iowa Department of Education’s School Leader Updates each month in the Administrator Connection. Click here to download the October 2012 issue.
EdInsight Cube training is limited to participants who have already been trained on EdInsight "canned reports." In this session we will learn how to use the analysis studio or "cube" reporting tools in EdInsight. This part of EdInsight is more complicated to use than the basic reports but has more powerful capabilities. It is helpful but not required to have some background in data analysis, including experience with Excel Pivot Tables or SPSS.
Date: October 31, 2012
Time: 1:00-3:30 p.m.
Location: Heartland AEA, Johnston REC, Computer lab
Instructors: Jennifer Adkins and Connor Hood
Maximum: 15
Note: This class has a prerequisite that the participants have already attended EdInsight training previously (for "canned" reports). You may attend if your EdInsight training has been very recent and you do not have local login yet.
