✏️📚🚌Back to school nurse workshop
We ❤️ our school nurses!








Year 1 ArPEP at NAESC finished up their 2 weeks of learning today. Wishing everyone a terrific start to the school year!


Teachers in ArPEP year 1 taught lessons today to their colleagues. We learned everything from action verbs to matrices to careers in CTE and music! Our schools are getting some great early career educators!


New teachers and their mentors learned the importance of setting teaching expectations and establishing structure to create an environment in which students thrive. These teachers are off to a great start through CHAMPS training!


These dedicated mentors are learning from NIET trainers how to elevate coaching conversations and lead novice teachers in effectively using student work to make instructional decisions.


Year 1 ArPEP kicked off this week! NAESC ArPEP Facilitator, Gia Taylor, led a session on TESS and the power of being a reflective practitioner.


We hope everyone has a fun and safe day!!

Several of our school districts attended the RTI at Work conference with Solution Tree, gaining valuable strategies to strengthen Response to Intervention practices in their schools. Educators collaborated, learned from experts, and left with practical tools to better support every student, ensuring no learner falls through the cracks. We're proud of our districts for their commitment to continuous improvement and student achievement!


A big thank you to Nicole Bassett from CHAMPS for leading an engaging and insightful session with our teachers! Her presentation focused on proactive classroom management strategies that support positive behavior and build strong, respectful learning environments. Our educators walked away with practical tools they can use right away to strengthen relationships and set students up for success.


Dr. Brad Baine recently collaborated with our amazing ArPEP Year 2 teachers, providing guidance and support as they continue working on their EdTPA portfolios. His expertise and encouragement are helping shape confident, capable educators ready to make a difference in Arkansas classrooms.
Thank you, Dr. Baine, for investing in the success of these future teachers!


Mark McLeod recently delivered an inspiring and impactful presentation to a group of dedicated novice educators. Drawing on his extensive experience, Mark shared practical strategies for classroom engagement, student motivation, and professional growth. Teachers left the session energized, encouraged, and equipped with new tools to enhance their teaching practices and connect more deeply with their students.


Instructional Leaders came together over the past two days to expand their knowledge on current topics, including ATLAS, AI, School Letter Grades, Dyslexia, CTE, Math, Science, Behavior, and Teacher Licensure.
