The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is pleased to announce the Arkansas Teaching and Learning Spring 2021 Collaborative (TLC) for Curriculum Coordinators. Each district is encouraged to send at least one district-level curriculum leader to this 2-day meeting at the Marriott Hotel in Little Rock, AR.
The focus of this collaborative is to provide support for curriculum leaders in ensuring a guaranteed and viable curriculum. Attendees will participate in sessions around the following topics:
- Overview of High Reliability Schools (HRS) Level 3: Creating a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum, Featured Speaker, Jan K. Hoegh, Solution Tree
- Introduction to a Handbook for Developing & Using Proficiency Scales: Each registered participant will receive a copy of this book.
- Introduction to Arkansas’s Initiative for Instructional Materials (AIIM)
The TLC will also be an opportunity for participants to continue to engage in a statewide network of curriculum support. To follow up on HRS Level 2: Effective Teaching in Every Classroom, districts will have the opportunity to share and collaborate around the development of instructional models. Districts willing to highlight their work during the collaborative are encouraged to contact Kiffany Pride at kiffany.pride@ade.arkansas.gov.
