Student Personalized Learning System Debuts Today

In case you missed it...

AEA PD Online debuts its Student Personalized Learning System today.  It is a one-of-its kind system, geared towards connecting students with learning opportunities directly.  AEA PD Online is working with piloting schools this year to refine its features and add functionality, as we add additional curriculum to the system.

Speaking of which, we also debut the "Excellence, Integrity & Professionalism — Online Iowa," e-curriculum, in conjunction with Character Counts in Iowa and the Institute for Excellence & Ethics.  This curriculum is intended to ensure college, career and citizenship readiness, officials said. It will focus on work ethic, critical thinking and goal achievement; communication, collaboration and teamwork; integrity, responsibility and leadership; and priority management, stress reduction and well-being.

Our system was featured in Governor Terry Branstad's weekly address today.  For more information, or to become a pilot school, please contact Evan Abbey.
