Future Ready Focus: November is FAFSA, December is Work-Based & Authentic Learning
The Heartland AEA Future Ready Network meeting on Nov. 16 will focus on updates to the FAFSA. This network meeting and workshop will be offered as a hybrid option. District teams can join in person in the Heartland AEA Johnston Regional Education Center or via zoom at this link. Erick Danielson, ICAN Vice President of Programs, will share changes to the FAFSA and how to best support students and families through the financial aid process. If you have questions about the FAFSA or any other financial aid, add your questions to this Q&A document so we can respond to those during this session.
The Dec. 21 Future Ready Network will have time devoted to Work-Based and Authentic Learning. Several districts will also present their Work-Based Learning programs and how they use the Iowa Clearinghouse for Work-Based Learning to manage their projects in the morning. The afternoon workshop from 12:30-2:30 p.m. is for district Work-Based Learning leaders who are interested in becoming a district project board manager in the Clearinghouse. If you are interested in becoming a Clearinghouse project board manager for your district, complete this survey.

Heartland AEA Digital Resources Support Government, Elections and Democracy Lessons
This is an exciting time to teach students about government, the election process, democracy and the right to vote. We hope this issue of the Heartland AEA Library & Digital Resources Newsletter will help teachers build units and find resources on historical and timely topics. These quality digital resources may help save time when lesson planning and may lead to other resources you can incorporate into units. Start with OneClick. If you would like help finding resources or would like a short how-to with your PLC, contact the Heartland AEA library.
