Upcoming Iowa Core Curriculum Learning Opportunities

Just a reminder that there are two learning opportunities in June to increase your knowledge around the Iowa Core Curriculum.

There are special Teacher Quality monies set aside by the State of Iowa specifically to support learning around the Iowa Core Curriculum. These funds are available for staff members who choose to participate in these sessions off contract. Certified staff members are eligible for this Teacher Quality money even if they are already registered for a regular Teacher Quality class. It is expected that pay will be based on staff per diem, although high levels of interest may mean we have to adjust funding accordingly. You do not need to be eligible for Teacher Quality monies to register.


1-Day Overview of the Iowa Core Curriculum

• This one-day overview will provide background and information on the Iowa Core Curriculum. Staff will have an opportunity to connect this information to their work in the Agency and their partnerships with districts. This session is appropriate for any staff person who wants to have a basic understanding of the Iowa Core Curriculum.
• June 9

• Registration Number: IN019399991001


2-Day Overview of the Iowa Core Curriculum

• This two-day overview will provide information similar to the one-day session but will provide additional application opportunities and delve more deeply into the content. The purpose of the two-day overview is to provide support for staff who will directly support district implementation of the Iowa Core Curriculum.

• June 22-23

• Registration Number: IN019399991002


If you have any questions regarding which session is appropriate for you to attend, please contact Linda Hoobin or Kim Thuente.
