“One Nation, Many Voices,” the Iowa Culture and Language Conference

Register now for the Iowa Culture and Language Conference, "One Nation, Many Voices." This year's conference will be held November 11-13, 2013 at the Coralville Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.

Heartland Title III funds will support attendance by reimbursing your district for registration and substitute pay for the pre-conference and/or conference. Your district will also be reimbursed a total of $100 as a travel stipend.

Participants should register following your district's policy. After the conference, your district will submit one claim form for registration, sub pay and the travel stipend. Title III will reimburse directly to the district, not individuals. The claim forms will be made available in the Administrator Connection at the conclusion of the conference.

We encourage teams of classroom teachers, administrators and ESL teachers to attend.
