Are you looking for resources to assist with the school year in light of COVID-19? Learn from Arkansas schools that have experience with virtual and blended learning!
DESE is pleased to announce a new learning opportunity for school leaders. DataQUEST highlights Arkansas principals utilizing innovative practices for making data informed decisions. Participants will be part of a statewide network of school leaders exploring ideas to bring back to their school.
DataQUEST will meet virtually on the second Wednesday of the month and will feature short videos from principals in addition to their toolkit of resources. Participants will have opportunities to learn from each other during breakout groups and ask questions of the featured speakers.

Social Media Awareness Campaign
|
|
|
Student learning is a shared responsibility between schools and parents. Technology is transforming how and where our students learn. The classroom has been extended to any location with an internet connection. As students spend more time learning and socializing online, we all need to work together to ensure our students stay healthy and safe. The Social Media Awareness Campaign (SMACtalk) was formed in response to this need. The purpose of SMACtalk is to bring awareness, provide resources, and increase communication for teachers, parents, and students.
On the last day of each month, SMACtalk will release new content on our DESE webpage based on different monthly themes. The topic for August is "Self‑Assess Readiness & Introduction to SMACtalk." Access the resources and learn more at http://smacktalk.info.
