Iowa Early Learning Standards Webinar

You should have received an email reminding you of the Iowa Early Learning Standards webinar being held on Monday, March 11 from 10:00 -12:00.  I'd strongly suggest that you attend the webinar.If the time isn't convenient, register anyway, it will likely be recorded and you can watch it at a later date.  If you do not have the information to get registered, just send me an email and I will send it to you again.  I am particularly interested in the new document, Alignment to the Iowa Core - to connect preschool learning with Kindergarten curriculum.  If you're having trouble finding the new IELS, go to www.iowaaeyc.org
 

The new DAYC-2 is here!

I have ordered a new DAYC-2 manual for each person since many of us are not in the office to share copies.  A manual along with a photocopy of each of the developmental areas will be van mailed to your office this week. (Photo copies are only for our learning session). Since there is no formal training for the updated assessment, I have assigned a part of the manual to each person.  Please prepare your part and come to the March 15 department meeting ready to share out/ report on your section.  Of course, if you have time, you are welcome to review any and all of the sections.  At the meeting you will be able to pick up a set of forms and start using it.
