Bridging Languages, Building Futures: How Iowa’s AEAs Support English Learners and Their Teachers Iowa Area Education Agencies offer valuable services to public and non-public schools in Iowa How we help educators, students & families 1 Efficiency We provide services to local school districts that they could not afford independently. By working together, we make every dollar stretch further. 2 Equity Prior to the establishment of Iowa’s Area Education Agency (AEA) system in 1974, the Iowa legislature was plagued with complaints about inequitable services from district to district across Iowa. One of our number one objectives is to ensure that all students and teachers, regardless of location, have access to what they need to succeed. 3 Excellence Excellence is not a buzzword at Central Rivers AEA, it’s part of our DNA as an organization. We recruit and retain highly qualified team members with a passion for service. 4 Leadership & Service We both respond to district requests and create opportunities never thought of before. Our dedication extends to every last student we serve.
