The April/May 2021 ELL newsletter is now available at this link: https://www.smore.com/3yepr.
The topic of the current newsletter is The LIEP, or Language Instruction Education Program. This newsletter discusses some of the different program models schools utilize in Iowa and considerations for schools as they design effective programming for the 2021-22 school year. Best wishes on a smooth journey to the end of this school year and we will see you again in the fall!
Heartland AEA’s “Summer Learning Academy: Reflect, Reconstruct, Rebound” has been designed with area educators, for area educators. Over the past year, you’ve stretched your abilities and increased your confidence as you’ve tried new tools, new models and new ways of teaching.
The vision for our time together in the Summer Learning Academy includes:
- Augmentation of content
- Study around instruction
- Learning about assessment and feedback practices
- Perusal of technology integration
All these topics have been compiled for a steadfast rebound and rich catapult into the 2021-22 school year!

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.
