Tom Lane Named SAI Iowa Superintendent of the Year

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.

EdInsight Cube Training Available Oct. 31

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.

Time: 1:00-3:30 p.m.
Location: Heartland AEA, Johnston REC, Computer lab
