(This option is not available for employees of Des Moines Public Schools).

Districts which are in years 2+ of corrective action, due to not meeting Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs), are required to send a team (e.g. district administrator, ESL teacher, content or grade-level teachers, counselor) to the Our Kids Summer Institute on June 16-17, where support will be provided in writing/refining your district Corrective Action Plans (CAP) at the session reserved for this purpose.
Registration is open!
An excellent line-up of keynote and break-out sessions will also support meeting district goals for improving the achievement of English Learners.
We look forward to seeing you and your team there! Please encourage both ESL and non-ESL staff to register for Our Kids. Heartland AEA Title III funds will provide a $200 stipend to individual participants who attend both days to offset the cost of registration, with reimbursement claim forms available at the event on day 2.
