Year Two Iowa Core Curriculum Leadership Team Training
Heartland AEA is sponsoring a series of training sessions designed for district/school Iowa Core Curriculum Leadership Teams. The information presented will be new or will extend information from the leadership sessions held during the 2008-09 school year.
Day One: This one-day session will focus on the district self-study for outcome 4, updates related to new resources that are available and activities that can be used as districts/schools develop capacity in the Iowa Core Curriculum.

Please note this is a full day session.

United Way Campaign to Feature Silent Auction
The Agency's 2009 United Way campaign will kick off on September 17 and this year will feature a silent auction of items donated by Heartland staff members. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the United Way. The Special Events Committee will be organizing the auction and hopes everyone will be thinking about what item they'd like to donate. Each staff member will be able to donate one item or go together with co-workers to submit a group item. Items can be anything you have around your home that you're willing to part with (excluding clothing) or creative items such as gift baskets, tickets and gift cards or offers to cook for a dinner party or clean someone's home. There will be other ways to donate as well. Get your thinking caps on and stay tuned for more information!
Flu Season is Starting—Get Ready Now!
The flu season is starting and has already been making news. More than one kind of flu virus will be spreading this season, including seasonal flu and the 2009 H1N1 flu. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has a Web site dedicated to providing information about the flu – http://www.flu.gov.
If you get the flu, you can get sick and can spread the flu to others at home, at work and in the community. Symptoms of flu include fever or chills and cough or sore throat. In addition, symptoms of flu can include runny nose, body aches, headache, tiredness, diarrhea or vomiting.
8 ways you can stay healthy at work
You can protect yourself and others by following these key action steps.
1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle through rest, diet, exercise and relaxation.
2. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner if soap and water are not available. Be sure to wash your hands after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.
3. Avoid touching your nose, mouth and eyes. Germs spread this way.
4. Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or cough and sneeze into your elbow. Dispose of tissues in no-touch trash receptacles.
5. Keep frequently touched common surfaces clean, such as telephones, computer keyboards, doorknobs, etc.
6. Do not use other workers’ phones, desks, offices or other work tools and equipment. If you need to use a co-worker’s phone, desk or other equipment, clean it first.
7. Don’t spread the flu! If you are sick with flu-like illness, stay home. Symptoms of flu include fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or chills and cough or sore throat. In addition, symptoms of flu can include runny nose, body aches, headache, tiredness, diarrhea or vomiting. The CDC recommends that sick workers stay home if they are sick with flu-like illness until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
8. Get vaccinated against seasonal flu when vaccine is available in your area. If you are at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 flu complications, you should receive the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine when it becomes available. People at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 flu complications include pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes).
