Invitation to the Administrator Connection
If you are interested in having the Administrator Connection sent to other personnel in your district in addition to the superintendent, principal and curriculum coordinator, please contact the Heartland Communications Department at comms@aea11.k12.ia.us. Please include the name, title (assistant principal, curriculum director, etc.), email and building that each person serves.
Introducing Dr. Bob Newsum, Interim Superintendent at Martensdale-St. Marys
Education I graduated from West Waterloo High School in 1964; graduated from U. N. I., with a bachelor's degree in art education, in 1972; graduated from U. N. I., with a master's degree in secondary educational administration, in 1977; and earned my PhD. in educational administration, from Iowa State University, in 1991.
Past work experience
I student-taught and taught junior high art, in Newton for four years; served as Spirit Lake Middle School Principal and Curriculum Director for three years; served as Indianola Junior High and Indianola Middle School Principal for twelve years; served as Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock Superintendent for three years; served as Chariton Superintendent for six years; served as part-time Mormon Trail Superintendent for one year; and most recently served as Iowa Core Curriculum LEAD for Green Valley Area Education Agency 14 for two years.
Why did you decide to pursue the superintendent position at your district?
One of my career goals has always been to close out my educational administration career as an interim superintendent. I believe my personality is perfectly suited to serve in an interim capacity and I am certain that I can provide assistance to the Martensdale St Marys district, as a permanent superintendent is selected.
What is your vision for your district?
I intend to assist the district to continue the long-term and short-term programs and goals that have been established and are currently in place.
What are your hobbies or things you like to do in your free time?
I am an avid golfer and live near the Chariton Country Club. Two of my four grandchildren live in Chariton and my wife, Linda, and I spend a great deal of time with them.

Orientation for School Improvement Visits
Schools and districts scheduled for a site visit during the 2010-2011 school year, as well as those volunteering to be a member of a site visit team, are strongly encouraged to attend one face-to-face training session. Face-to-face training dates and times scheduled within Heartland AEA are the following:
September 7, 2010 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at the West Des Moines Learning Resource Center
October 1, 2010 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at the Heartland Johnston Regional Education Center (6500 Corporate Drive, Johnston)
The Iowa Department of Education is also in the process of developing site visit training video clips which will be posted on the DE Web site by the end of September. Information about these video clips will be available soon. Materials needed for the school improvement part of the training are available on the Department of Education website at http://www.iowa.gov/educate/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1558&Itemid=2342
There will be a separate orientation for school improvement visits with an equity focus. The face-to-face training for visits with an equity focus will be held on September 22, 2010 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. in the State Board Room, Grimes State Office Building, Des Moines. Districts scheduled for a visit with a focus on equity are strongly encouraged to attend this face-to-face session which will include the information needed to prepare for both the school improvement and the equity component of the visit. It has been our experience that the face-to-face sessions generate important dialogue and questions and possibly allow for more in-depth planning for the visit. Materials needed for the equity portion of the training were sent to the districts with their initial notification letter.
The DE is also preparing training video clips for the September 22 session. More information about these video clips will be available soon.

Crisis Action Planning Workshop at Heartland AEA
There’s still time to register for Heartland’s Crisis Action Planning Workshop that was communicated last spring in the Administrator Connection. It is a tremendous opportunity to enhance your ability and preparedness to respond to a crisis. Listen about other schools’ “lessons learned” as they found out that their plans did not cover all situations and had to craft a plan in the midst of a crisis. Work with your local and county response teams during a middle-session workshop conducted by Homeland Security. Be inspired by Cheri Lovre, Director of the Crisis Management Institute, as she conducts a session on response and aftermath.
Workshop sessions are September 14 and March 10 & 11. A middle session will be regionally scheduled. Register today on the Heartland Professional Development Catalog at https://prodev.aea11.k12.ia.us/4DCGI/YYYYYYYYYYYYYYSRCH, activity number AT000699991101.
If you have any questions about the Crisis Action Planning Workshop, please contact Sue Schirmer at sschirmer@aea11.k12.ia.us or (515) 270-0405 ext. 14379.

Preparing Students for Postsecondary Life: October Transition Training
Heartland AEA will be providing transition training for LEA/AEA staff during the month of October. Once again, we will be able to provide sub reimbursement for those teachers who attend. These funds are made available through the State Professional Development Grant (SPDG). This training will only be for a half day. This design will hopefully allow districts to share subs.
In addition, this training will be designed for level I and level II special education teachers (9-12). The content of this training will include a review of the 6 critical elements, how to complete the SAR, study skill strategies and how to prepare students for the workplace. Click here to download a flyer more details regarding the content and locations of this training.
Please note that on April 7, 2011, we will be offering a full day of training for Level II & III life skills teachers. We will be sharing more information regarding this event as details are finalized.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your transition consultant or Sue Severson at sseverson@aea11.k12.ia.us or (515) 270-0405 ext. 14661.

Diversity: It Matters! Coming ESL Opportunities
Heartland AEA and associated partners will be offering some great ESL opportunities this year. Take a moment to read more about them and some useful information.
Iowa Culture and Language Conference (ICLC)
We communicated in a previous Administrator Connection about the Iowa Culture and Language Conference (ICLC). This week, we have more details on how your district can receive Title III reimbursement to attend the conference. The ICLC will be held in Coralville, Iowa at the Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. Pre-conference sessions will be on November 1, 2010, with conference sessions on November 2-3, 2010.
All the information you need to register can be found on the Northwest AEA website, http://www.nwaea.k12.ia.us/en/upcoming_events/iowa_culture_language_conference/
Title III will pay for the registration, sub pay for the conference and offer a small mini-grant to help defray travel costs. There are a few stipulations, however, whicha are the following:
• Districts with 75 ESL students or more may send 10 participants under Title III funding at the early bird rate of $125 (offered until September 15). Districts with fewer than 75 may send 5 participants. Of course, your district may send as many participants as wanted, however, Title III won’t be able to cover funding for more than the allotted slots.
• Title III will provide a mini-grant to help pay for travel expenses. Districts with 75 ESL students or more qualify for a $200mini-grant. Districts with fewer than 75 ESL students qualify for a min-grant of $100. Districts do not need to apply for this mini-grant, it will automatically be noted on the reimbursement claim form.
• Pre-conference registration is limited. Title III will fund a total of 40 participants (no more than four per district) until the 40 slots are filled using Title III funds. Again, districts may send as many participants as they would like without Title III funding support.
• Claim forms for district reimbursement will be sent to one district administrator after the conference. Reimbursement will be made only to the district, not to individual participants.
• Participants will not need to sign in at the conference as in the past, however, administrators will need to list all participants from their district on the reimbursement claim form. For the district to receive reimbursement, participants must attend the entire pre-conference day and/or both conference days in which they are registered. Please note the beginning and ending times, if you cannot stay until the last session is over each day, you do not qualify for Title III support.
ESL Advisory/Networking Meetings
We have scheduled four ESL Advisory/Networking Meetings again this year. We hope that every district will have at least one representative present at each of the meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity to hear the latest in workshop offerings, policy changes and ESL news, as well as giving participants a chance to find out what is happening in other districts. Dates for this year are the following:
September 14, 2010, in Room 18 of the Johnston Regional Education Center
December 7, 2010 in Room 14 of the Johnston Regional Education Center
February 22, 2011 in Room 3 & 4 of the Johnston Regional Education Center
May 10, 2011 in Room 3 & 4 of the Johnston Regional Education Center
Other Announcements
Several schools have asked about ordering the IPT for screening purposes. As stated in a letter from Kevin Fangman last spring, Title III can no longer pay for or provide these required assessments. Each school district will need to order and maintain a supply of this test. The IPT can be ordered from Ballard & Tighe, www.ballard-tighe.com or (800) 321-4332.
Many schools have asked about purchasing a computer program for use with their ELLs. Even though we do not advocate putting an ESL student in front of a computer instead of direct instruction, there is a great program for enrichment and reinforcement, Rosetta Stone, which is available through the Iowa Educators consortium (IEC). More information about the Rosetta Stone purchasing opportunity is available further down this week’s Administrator Connection.
Thank you for taking the time to read this very lengthy note. Please feel free to pass this information on to others in your district. We hope you will be able to take advantage of some, it not all, we have to offer. We look forward to working with you and your district during the upcoming school year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Stephaney Jones-Vo at (515) 270-0405 ext. 14680 or Pat Latham at (515) 270-0405 ext. 14681.

Who Controls Your Board Meetings?
Mike Wells, Superintendent of Winterset Schools, recently had an "odd" request to get on his board agenda and was refused. He always uses the advice of Kathy Collins, former SAI attorney, when dealing with such requests and thought that superintendents might like to have access to the article written by Kathy in the SAI Report from 2004. With SAI's permission, the article is available for download by clicking here.
