The Agency Professional Learning Committee continues to support the on-going plans of each work group as they develop their plans for professional learning. Below are answers to some of the questions we have received. If you have additional questions, please forward them to Sharon Kurns, Director of Professional Learning & Leadership, at skurns@aea11.k12.ia.us. The following are questions, who decides and why.
