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.
