Iowa’s AEAs are Enhancing and Expanding Resources and Services Provided to all Iowa School Districts

FastBridge Learning 2018-19
Through an agreement with FastBridge Learning, districts will now be able to access the full FastBridge suite of resources for mathematics and behavior assessment, reporting and analysis, and will include additional aspects of literacy that were not available through the current module. Districts that sign up for 2018-19, will have access to the system for spring screening in 2018 for free. The next step is to develop a training plan for the AEA system.

AEA Prep
Iowa’s AEAs have created​ a ​statewide partnership ​and ​resource ​center ​to ​improve ​postsecondary ​readiness ​and ​education ​attainment. ​This ​newly ​established ​entity ​is AEA ​PREP ​(Postsecondary ​Readiness ​& ​Equity ​Partnership), ​and ​will ​focus ​on ​building ​equitable capacity ​throughout ​Iowa, across the AEAs ​and ​​schools. ​AEA ​PREP ​operates ​out ​of Mississippi ​Bend ​A​E​A ​in ​Bettendorf and is being coordinated by David Ford.
