Heartland AEA will be hosting planning meetings to support districts that are applying for Teacher Leadership and Compensation Grants. The meetings will be held on the following dates:
October 30, 2013
November 13, 2013
December 2, 2013
January 13, 2014
Districts will be able to send up to four participants and are encouraged to bring representation from stakeholder groups on their district planning team. Meeting outlines and registration will be released next week. If you have any questions, contact Kevin Fangman at kfangman@heartlandaea.org.
Register now for the Iowa Culture and Language Conference, "One Nation, Many Voices." This year's conference will be held November 11-13, 2013 at the Coralville Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.

Heartland Title III funds will support attendance by reimbursing your district for registration and substitute pay for the pre-conference and/or conference. Your district will also be reimbursed a total of $100 as a travel stipend.
Participants should register following your district's policy. After the conference, your district will submit one claim form for registration, sub pay and the travel stipend. Title III will reimburse directly to the district, not individuals. The claim forms will be made available in the Administrator Connection at the conclusion of the conference.
We encourage teams of classroom teachers, administrators and ESL teachers to attend.
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.
