Last week's presenters were Kristine Wolzen and JoAnn Dixson from the Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency.  The AEA was created in the 1970's as a way to support our education system.  Currently, the AEA and MuscatineCommunitySchools work hand-in-hand with one another.  The AEA offers support to the school to improve teaching and aid in student learning.  There are 70 categories of service that the AEA offers to Muscatine Community Schools.  Some of the key programs in Muscatine are drivers education, second chance reading, mathematics, teacher training, and principal support.   To learn more about the AEA visit their website at www.aea9.k12.ia.us
