Invitation to the Administrator Connection

If you are interested in having the Administrator Connection sent to other personnel in your district in addition to the superintendent, principal and curriculum coordinator, please email the Heartland Communications Department at comms@heartlandaea.org with the subject line of "Add to Administrator Connection List." Please include the person's name, title (assistant principal, activities director, etc.) and email.

October is Connected Educator Month

Online communities and learning networks are helping hundreds of thousands of educators learn, reducing isolation and providing “just in time” access to knowledge and opportunities for collaboration. To learn more about getting involved in the national movement, go to http://connectededucators.org/.

Part of being connected is through social media. Heartland AEA and the statewide AEA system have been active users of Facebook and Twitter for several years. Also announced this year was the Iowa's AEAs Pinterest page which is a collaborative effort amongst Iowa’s nine AEAs and is maintained by AEA consultants from all over the state who specialize in different curriculum and instructional areas. Please connect with Heartland AEA and the statewide AEA system on social media!
