The launch of i3 means the phasing out of the current Iowa IDEA Info site, including AEA Special Education Procedures. Staff who work in special education will want to bookmark the i3 site as this is replacing your AEA Special Education and Early ACCESS Procedural Manuals.
The i3 system will bring with it enhancements that will prove to be invaluable to users, such as:
- A one-stop-shop for IFSP and IEP procedures and resources
- User-friendly formatting for easy site navigation
- Increased options for searching content and resources
- Ability to allow for real-time updates with built-in options to clearly communicate updates to users
- Translation options
Currently, training opportunities and materials are in development and will be available in mid-July. The Department and AEAs will partner with local districts to ensure the information on i3 is available to families, as well as other community partners.
The new IEP/IFSP system, which will be known as ACHIEVE, will be aligned with the i3 system once it is released during the 2021-22 school year. These two aligned components, when complete, will position Iowa’s educational professionals to continue to provide the highest quality support for students with disabilities well into the future.
