Our Partnerships

Iowa's Area Education Agencies (AEAs) are located across Iowa to serve local education agencies (LEAs) and their students.

The AEAs have staff who are meeting LEAs at their point of entry along a continuum as they work to transform to learner-centered practices. From blended learning to customized playlists to technology integration to competency-based experiences to student leadership groups to community-embedded partnerships, the AEAs offer a wide range of services and learning opportunities for Iowa's LEAs.

Learn more about Iowa's AEAs at http://www.iowaaea.org/.

The AEAs are committed to meeting LEAs where they are to provide premier services as they engage in school improvement efforts for ALL learners.

The Iowa Department of Education supports educators in our efforts to implement the Iowa Academic Standards, which include the 21st century skills and Universal Constructs. Additionally, they lead the Future Ready Iowa Clearinghouse for Work-based Learning in partnership with AEA Learning Online, and are working collaboratively with The Center and Iowa's AEAs to reach the Iowa Board of Education's goal that every learner will experience personalized, learner-centered education.

The Center is proud to sit on CCSSO's Student-centered Learning Collaborative with the IDoE and to be partners in building equitable access to deeper learning for all students.

The Center currently partners in learning and cross-state projects with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the Student-centered Learning Collaborative, the American Institutes for Research (AIR), the Midwest Comprehensive Center (MWCC), the International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL), and 2Revolutions.
