Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment

Heartland AEA strives to assist districts and schools in improving student achievement by providing effective assessment and instructional practices that support a challenging curriculum. Part of this work is by supporting student learning through the Iowa Core, a legislatively mandated set of academic expectations for all Iowa K-12 students. Heartland AEA staff work with district and school educators to develop ways to best teach students then help measure the effectiveness of the curriculum and instruction through a system of assessments.
