This year Iowa’s AEAs again will be subsidizing the costs for schools to upgrade their DE-provided FAST subscriptions that includes the expanded assessment suite in math and behavior for K-6, and literacy, math and behavior for grades 7 & 8. Participation is available both to schools that purchased the expanded assessment suite in previous years and those that want to use it for the first time in 2021-22. The registration window is April 1- May 7, 2021. More details are available here.
Please take 2-3 minutes to complete this short survey to provide information about needs related to science education in your setting. We’d like your responses by April 11.
Iowa State University is surveying superintendents and teachers to understand the current use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in K-12 classrooms. This confidential survey will provide a snapshot of GIS in K-12 public education in Iowa as well as identify barriers and opportunities for the use of GIS technology among non-users. ISU will use the information collected to create new resources for promoting future K-12 education throughout the state. This survey is a small – but very significant way – to make a difference in your community!
