Iowa Core Implementation Plan
Spring Peer Review- District Communication
Aprocess to review the submitted plans has been developed with input from the Iowa Department of Education, AEAs, and LEAs to ensure that the Iowa Core will indeed be the driving force for positive change in education. Leadership teams will come together spring 2011 to support the continuous improvement process of the Iowa Core. The intent of the process is to help districts give and receive constructive feedback and to provide the opportunity to foster a “critical friend” relationship with another district.
