Welcome to the first Heartland AEA ESL/Diversity newsletter of 2021. In this newsletter, we highlight topics related to preparing our students learning English to be Future Ready. Please access this LINK to view our latest newsletter. Contact your ESL/Diversity consultants if you would like to expand on information from this newsletter and create Future Ready opportunities for students in your school.
Iowa’s AEAs are collaborating to improve access for Iowa’s PK-12 educators to creative services (printing, lamination, graphic design, production of instructional materials). Equity and access are guiding principles that influence the common pricing of materials and services across the state. As a result, a common statewide pricing structure will be implemented for schools in the Heartland AEA service area beginning Feb. 1, 2021. Statewide pricing impacts costs for lamination, graphic design time and our various printing services (color, black/white, posters, banners, binding, special print, etc.). Production costs are subsidized by each AEA, and the AEAs do not profit from the schools’ purchase of these services and materials. If you have any questions, contact Kurt Subra, Heartland AEA Chief Financial Officer or Susan Schrader, Heartland AEA Director of Resources and Library Services.
