As districts begin to develop their Return-to-Learn plans, Heartland AEA has seen a substantial increase in professional learning requests related to instructional technology support for distance and blended learning. In order to meet the increased demand and provide support in a timely manner, beginning June 1, Heartland AEA’s Instructional Technology Team will centrally coordinate all professional learning requests.
What this looks like for your district
District and school leaders will continue to place instructional technology requests with the instructional technology consultant assigned to their region. The request will be quickly processed by the instructional technology team and they will determine who is available to provide support. It may be that your assigned consultant will be handling the request, or it may be reassigned to another consultant whose calendar and expertise best fits your needs.
Heartland AEA is dedicated to providing high quality professional learning support in a timely manner to our districts. We believe this temporary change in our service delivery model will allow us to better meet your needs during the unprecedented time of COVID-19 and the professional learning demands that come with it.
The Heartland AEA Instructional Technology Consultants are excited to add mini-webinars to their wide array of district supports. New topics, courses and sections continue to be added to the offerings to meet the needs of educators. Contact your consultant for more information. Check out the team’s newsletter, subscribe and share it with your colleagues!
