Welcome to the Iowa Core Co-Op space.

~ Created by Jason Ellingson, Collins-Maxwell Schools

This workspace is to support Iowa educators working with the Iowa Core Curriculum. It is not intended to circumvent the work of the Department of Education, nor the AEAs. It is solely to support the work of local educators and to provide a hub of information for those who want answers now. (Yep, I like to be on the cutting edge - so why not help you as well?)
