AEA System Collaboration
Iowa’s nine AEAs and AEA PD Online are collaborating to move our
individual professional development/licensure programs to a statewide system,
the benefits of which include:
· Access to professional development opportunities through a
statewide course catalog in a shared registration system.
· Greater equity and consistency to programming while reinforcing
the value of learning and credit.
· Generating resources to help support quality professional
development/licensure programming.
PD/Licensure Participant Fees
As part of the program review and design, each AEA will be
adjusting to the same participant fee structure. Changes for Heartland AEA
participants will be effective Jan. 1,
2017. As part of this collaboration, Heartland AEA will be adjusting fees
to align with the statewide system. Heartland AEA fees have not changed since
2007.
· The standard registration fee for licence renewal credit will
increase from the current $60 to $85 per credit hour.
· Site-based courses and courses offered by Heartland AEA staff with
no additional instructor costs will increase from the current $25 flat fee to
$35 per credit hour.
Exceptions to this will be our certification programs:
· Paraeducator Generalist Certification courses will be $60 per
credit hour.
· Substitute Authorization courses will be $100.
