Welcome back!

We've missed you! We hope you make the Skills Iowa Blog a favorite stop in your day. We will do our best to make the time worthwhile. We offer tips, suggestions, solutions to problems and a bit of fun.

Today's suggestion: At your initial training, check the accuracy of the student names in your classes. If you start with an incorrect student identity, your only choice will be to retain that i.d. or to abandon the work already done on the incorrect account. Talk with your project leader or trainer at your training to make the correction.

We hope to help you make a difference in student achievement. We firmly believe that the use of formative assessment and the follow up analysis and action will lead to higher achievement for your students. Assess, Analyze, Act!

All of us who work with Skills Iowa are excited to be your partners in what is the most important endeavor our country has—educating our children. The future of democracy and our country depends on it.
