Graduate Partner Changes for License Renewal Courses

The following changes took effect for courses offering graduate credit through the statewide AEA Professional Learning Registration system starting Sept. 1, 2019, or after:

  • All courses ​with​ graduate credit will be offered for Drake, Grand View and Morningside credit. The 30 hours of outside work per credit will still be required. As before, all participants in the course must do the outside work no matter what type of credit they choose.
  • Instructor stipends will not be paid by any of the colleges.
  • The cost for graduate credit from all three colleges will be $90 per credit.
    • For courses with a paid instructor, the registration fees per credit are as follows:
      • Participant Only = $85
      • License Renewal Credit = $85
      • Graduate Credit = $85 + $90 or $175
    • For courses with no instructor pay, the registration fees per credit are as follows:
      • Participant Only = $0
      • License Renewal Credit = $35
      • Graduate Credit = $35 + $90 or $125
Instructors are not required to offer courses for graduate credit. They can be offered for License Renewal Credit only. If a class is not offered for graduate credit, the 30 hours of outside work are not required.

If you have any questions, please contact the Heartland AEA Professional Learning team at (800) 255-0405 ext. 14701.

New Flowchart Helps With Student Resident District Questions

A new flowchart from the Iowa Department of Education is now available to help you with questions you may have when you’re unclear about students’ resident districts. The chart helps make clear the guidelines in the Iowa Administrative Code regarding students’ resident districts.

Clayton Cook Presents: Nurturing and Responsive Environments that Promote Social and Emotional Wellbeing, Oct. 1

This is the second presentation in our 3-part SEBMH Leadership Series

Clayton Cook, Ph.D., will support participants in understanding the development, implementation and evaluation of evidence-based practices to improve youth access to needed social, emotional and behavioral supports in schools within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The session will also focus specifically on implementation science and the understanding of factors and strategies that impact the successful development, delivery and sustainment of evidence-based practices as part of service delivery within schools. This work is intended to address the longstanding science-to-practice gap.
