Special Education Staff: EER Google Docs Training Information

In last week’s Connection we let everyone know that we will be using Google Docs to share and store our Educational Evaluation Reports while they are being developed. (See last week's article here.) All staff who write EERs are being asked to attend a training session to learn about the use of Google Docs and to get updates about the development of EERs. We will begin using the new EER form, and we will discontinue use of the form currently in the Web IEP during the first week of November.

If you have not completed the pre-training survey, please do so as soon as possible.
Survey Link: http://bit.ly/qqfzGc

If you are able to complete the survey that means that you already have a Google account and are able to enter the Heartland Google Domain. It also means that you do not have to attend the first 45 minutes of the training.


If you are not able to complete the survey, you may contact Joshua Burke webmanager@aea11.k12.ia.us or Jim Lagnese jlagnese@aea11.k12.ia.us before the training for assistance, or you will receive help during the first 45 minutes of the training.

All staff who write EERs should attend one of these sessions. The training is being offered three times in each region. You may attend in any region. All staff should register by going to https://prodev.aeapdonline.org/4DCGI/YYYYYYYYYYYYYYSRCH and typing in the activity number listed by the session you want to attend in the table below or by clicking on the appropriate URL. You may also download the schedule by clicking here.

If you cannot make any of the training sessions below, we will have two live webinars on November 9. These will originate from the Johnston Regional Education Center in Room 13A. You may access the webinar from any location with Internet connection at http://iowa.adobeconnect.com/eer/.

Sign in as a guest which does not require a password. You will be able to text questions during the webinar. If you have not used Google Docs and/or are not able to access the Heartland Domain (this means you were not able to complete the survey), you will need to contact Joshua Burke or Jim Lagnese before the webinar. These webinars are being offered to accommodate staff who may not be able to make a face-to-face session, but all staff are strongly encouraged to attend a face-to-face session.

Participants are asked to make sure they have downloaded the State Procedures Manual and Documentation Guide available on the Heartland AEA website. To find the guide on the website, go to the front page, click on the Educators tab, click the Special Education link, then click Resources and download the “State Procedures Manual and Documentation Guide, July 1, 2011.”
