from the Director’s Desk

The School Year 2016-2017 ushered in systemic changes for cooperatives as well as school districts as our country transitions to new leadership on the federal level. With the election of a new President of the United States and the new federal appointments that have been made and will be made, direction and goal changes in education are inevitable. During the 2017Arkansas Legislative session, education laws were passed that will bring change for implementation at the district and school levels. Governor Asa Hutchinson moved forward with his initiative to promote computer coding instruction in our schools giving national attention to our efforts in Arkansas to include computer coding in our curriculum. This year the NEA Education Cooperative was funded to hire one of six Computer Science Specialists to serve our schools and the entire state promoting Computer Science and coding in our classrooms. Zack Spink was hired to this position and will be housed here and begin his job June 1.

With the Governor’s commitment to computer science education and as Arkansas continues to lead the nation in computer science education, Arkansas and Facebook formed a partnership to launch the social media’s program called Techstart. This is the first-of-its-kind partnership with Facebook. The Facebook Computer Science Education program—Techstart-- gives students an opportunity to learn about careers in technology and gain exposure to virtual reality using the Oculus VR kits provided by Facebook. The kits include computers, cameras, and the Oculus Rift equipment necessary to administer the Techstart program. Through this partnership, 8 school buildings in the Cooperative and the NEA Cooperative received Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Systems. The NEA Cooperative system is located in the newly remodeled main computer lab and will be used for demo and training purposes. The computer lab remodeling project added two larger front monitors and redesigning the room layout for greater functionality. The computer lab contains 27 computers including a presenter station.

Novice Teacher Mentoring as we have come to know it is changing. Each Cooperative was commissioned

to design a Mentoring program specific to the needs of their region. This places mentoring at the Cooperative level rather than the local district level.

TESS (Teacher Effectiveness Support System), (GPS (Grasping Phenomenal Science), and CGI (Cognitively Guided Instruction) continue to made a profound impact on student learning. RISE (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) and Empowering Writers are two other significant initiatives fostered by Governor Hutchison’s emphasis on every student reading at grade level by grade 3. Early Childhood Education continues to serve the 3-5 age school population and is maintaining its student numbers with the ABC and HIPPY programs. The ECH pre-school special education program has increased its student population for FY18. In the May board meeting, the State Board of Education approved the new rules and regulations for evaluation of the state-wide Cooperative network. All 15 Cooperatives are to be evaluated during the 2017-18 year.

2 | P a g e

School year 2016-2017, like most, was filled with challenges and change, but successful collaboration and communication at all levels has helped us meet the challenges and adjust to the changes; and it can be quoted on a continual basis that “the only thing constant is change”. This annual report, prepared by our staff, is a “snapshot” that provides a summative look at our combined efforts to assist member school districts. The NEA Cooperative staff-- in their respective roles-- strive to work with all school personnel to provide high quality leadership, service and support to facilitate learning for all students. They are to be commended for their professionalism, commitment, and team spirit in the preparation of this annual report. Appreciation is extended to the Staff and our Board on the parts each played this year to make the mechanism of education run smoothly in our region once again.

GOAL:

HIPPY’s goal is to assist parents in laying a foundation for future school success for possibly at-risk preschool

children in preparation for kindergarten and encourage continued parental involvement in their child’s education,

as well as assist parents in accessing needed community support and assistance programs.

PROGRAM SUMMARY:

HIPPY provides age-appropriate educational material and weekly support through home-based educator visits to

parents of three- and four-year-old preschool children, giving the parents the opportunity and tools for early

involvement in their child’s education. Monthly parent meetings also encourage socialization and community

collaboration and involvement. Developmental screenings and referrals offered through our program help

identify children who need early intervention for developmental and language deficiencies.


The NEA Education Cooperative HIPPY program served 136 families this year including 152 children, our

highest enrollment to date. Some families include: single or divorced parents who are trying to raise children on

their own, foster parents, and grandparents who are starting parenting again with grandchildren.

A major highlight for the 2016-17 year was passing the National HIPPY Accreditation, a supervisory milestone

required every three years. The accreditation was a result of a two-day visit from HIPPY national and state staff,

who followed a very strict guideline of compliance that included home visits; staff trainings; parent meetings; and

staff, family, and child file documentation.

HIPPY was contacted again this year by several rural libraries in our service area to provide programs during the

children’s summer reading initiative. In addition to supporting the communities, we serve, this also serves as a

recruitment tool for HIPPY.

The HIPPY Coordinator serves on the regional "Collaborating for School Readiness" committee with

representatives from HIPPY, ABC Preschools, Public Schools, and Head Start. This year’s committee project

included preparing kindergarten transition books for school districts served both by Brad Head Start and NEA

Education Cooperative. The books are district specific and are designed to help a child transitioning to

31 | P a g e

kindergarten by using pictures and simple introductions of the school staff. Copies were given to each preschool

classroom, Head Start classroom, and daycares, in addition to each graduating HIPPY child.

ABC/HIPPY Supervisor, Gregg Cooper, conducted CPR classes for HIPPY’s February parent meetings in eight

service areas, allowing any HIPPY parent to certify in adult, child, and infant CPR.

A reading activity is conducted from February through March where parents read daily to their child and keep a

reading log. Cat-In-The-Hat is a guest at the March parent meeting to reward participants with a free book, and

overall readers for each home-based educator are rewarded with several books.

Other monthly parent meetings have included: Fall field trips to Pumpkin Hollow, Harvestfest, and the Sloan

Hendrix School greenhouse; healthy meal ideas for families with hands-on cooking; a Winter celebration; and

April's parent meeting which always includes a kindergarten teacher as a guest speaker to inform parents of the

school's expectations as well as what parents can do to make the educational experience optimal.

focuses on the key principles of effective reading instruction within the reading workshop. This includes

understanding procedures and materials necessary for developing competent readers. Participants will examine

comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary utilizing the systems of strategic actions for processing text. It is

recommended that educators begin with the Overview Module if they intend to complete the entire series.

Grades 2-3 Writing Instruction This training is designed specifically for Grades 2-3 educators. This module

identifies the critical components of effective writing instruction within the writing workshop. This includes

strategies needed for writing across the curriculum using three text types - opinion, explanatory, and informative.

Grades 4-5 Overview of a Comprehensive Literacy Framework and Literacy Assessment System is

designed specifically for grades 4-5 educators, This training identifies the critical components of a comprehensive

literacy system, focuses on the unique instructional needs of the learner as related to literacy acquisition ,

explores setting the context for learning through instructional approaches that meet the needs of the learner, and

provides the purposes and types of literacy assessments that when used appropriately will guide instructional

decisions.

Grades 4-5 Word Study: Phonics, Spelling, and Vocabulary Instruction is designed specifically for grades 4-

5 educators. This training focuses on a systematic, engaging approach aimed at exploring the sound, pattern, and

meaning relationships among words. At this stage, many of the words are related and derive from the same Greek

or Latin root. Students are guided towards making discoveries about how words work and generalizing their

understandings in order to read, spell, and write more efficiently.

Grades 4-5 Reading Instruction is designed specifically for grades 4-5 educators. This training focuses on

research-based reading instruction for whole group and small group to move students to independence. At their

grade level, students must engage in close, analytic reading. Therefore, an emphasis in this professional

development has been placed on implementing close reading instruction. This includes strategies needed for

comprehending and responding to complex texts across multiple genres, and of sufficient complexity in both

whole group and small group instruction. These strategies will continue to lead students along the path to

becoming college and career ready.

Grades 4-5 Writing Instruction This training is specifically designed for grades 4-5. Participants will explore

the writing process through the components of Writer’s Workshop and learn how to provide effective instruction

and support through conferencing to meet students’ individual needs as they create narrative,

informational/explanatory, and opinion writing pieces. A focus is placed on analyzing an author’s craft through

mentor texts to assist students in developing their own craft and foundational writing skills.

Reading Recovery® is a short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for low-achieving first graders. Reading

Recovery® professional development begins with an academic year of graduate-level study and continues in

subsequent years through continuing contact with the Reading Recovery teacher leader. With the support of the

teacher leader, Reading Recovery teachers develop observational skills and a repertoire of intervention procedures

tailored to meet the individual needs of at-risk students. The specially trained Reading Recovery teachers provide

34 | P a g e

students with a half-hour lesson each school day for 12 to 20 weeks. As soon as students can meet grade-level

expectations and demonstrate that they can continue to work independently in the classroom, their lessons are

discontinued, and new students begin individual instruction.

Text Dependent Questions (6-12) The CCSS emphasize student’s ability to ask and answer text-dependent

questions. Incorporating high-quality text-dependent questions into instruction is a critical step for educators and

their students in the shift toward reading, writing, listening and speaking grounded in textual evidence. The

information contained in this module is important for ELA/Literacy instructors, as well as social studies and

science teachers. Text-dependent questions should always guide students back to the text to gain deeper

understanding of what the text says and how the text conveys its message.

Text Complexity (6-12) One of the key requirements of the CCSS for Reading is that all students must be able to

read and comprehend texts of steadily increasing complexity as they progress through school (Appendix A, p. 2).

This professional development opportunity focuses on a three-part model that combines qualitative and

quantitative measures of text complexity with reader and task considerations. Teachers need to use their

professional judgment as they draw on information from all three sources when determining the complexity of a

text.

Argumentative Writing (6-8 & 9-12) The CCSS document places particular emphasis on student’s ability to

write sound arguments on substantive topics and issues, as this ability is critical to college and career readiness.

This professional development opportunity addresses strategies the writer uses to craft a convincing logical

argument to change the reader’s point of view, to bring about some action on the reader’s part, or to ask the reader

to accept the writer’s explanation or evaluation of a concept, issue, or problem.

Short and Sustained Research (6-12) The CCSS document emphasizes student’s engagement in both short and

sustained extended research in order to gain deeper understanding about the topics they are investigating.

Students will synthesize information from a number of sources and present the information in a variety of

formats. When appropriate, students are encouraged to use technology to present findings.

Close Reading (6-12) The CCSS document states that students must acquire the habits of reading independently

and closely, which are essential to their future success. Close reading is fundamental for interpreting text.

“Reading closely” means developing a deep understanding and a precise interpretation of a text that is based first

and foremost on the words themselves. However, a close reading does not stop there; it embraces larger themes

and ideas evoked and/or implied by the passage itself. This professional development opportunity provides

strategies that will enable participants to design instruction that promotes close reading behaviors.

Implementing a Comprehensive Literacy Framework- Word Study: Orthography, Morphology, and

Vocabulary Instruction (Module 2) (6-8) Designed specifically for Grades 6-8 ELA educators, this two-day

module focuses on a systematic, engaging approach aimed at developing learners’ understandings of how words

work and developing vocabulary knowledge through speaking, reading, and writing. Students are guided towards

making discoveries about word relationships and generalizing their understandings in order to read, spell, and

write more efficiently.

Implementing a Comprehensive Literacy Framework- Reading and Writing Narrative Text (Module 4) (6-

8) Designed specifically for Grades 6-8 educators, this two-day module contains reading and writing strategies to

assist ELA teachers with reading narrative texts and developing narrative writing. Participants will make

connections between the texts they are reading and purposes for writing. The two-day module will provide

teachers with a model lesson to use with students.

Implementing a Comprehensive Literacy Framework- Reading and Writing Argumentative Text (Module

5) (6-8) Designed specifically for Grades 6-8 ELA educators, this module contains reading and writing strategies

that will enable students to critically analyze a literary text, write strong arguments, and evaluate the argument of

others. The two-day module will assist ELA teachers as they develop a model lesson to use with students.

35 | P a g e

Disciplinary Literacy in Social Studies/History: “What’s the Story, and Who or What’s Responsible?” (5-

12) Historical thinking skills drive this professional development. Designed for social studies/history teachers,

this professional learning opportunity offers a model of and practice for teaching historical thinking skills through

inquiry-based lessons. Inquiries based on the revised ADE curriculum frameworks and C3 Framework are

examined as participants analyze primary and secondary sources. Participants interact with the Inquiry Design

Model (IDM) which is aligned to the U.S. History Since 1890 course; historical thinking skills, analysis of

primary and secondary sources are applicable to all grades.

Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) offers a fresh approach to incorporating literacy into the K-12 content

areas. During the year-long training, teachers learn to design and teach three modules (each lasting 2-4 weeks)

that embed language arts and research-based teaching strategies into their content area. The goals of LDC are to

engage students in reading, comprehending, analyzing, interpreting, and responding to complex texts, to align

assignments to the CCSS and to promote collaboration, to aid teachers in personalizing the learning so that every

student can master the CCSS, and to ensure that all students can be college and career ready.

techniques to achieve success.

PROGRAM SUMMARY: The office of the Science Specialist supports schools, teachers, and administrators by

providing quality professional learning opportunities, and ongoing site based support in instruction, leadership,

and best practices. Instructional support such as state wide science professional development (GPS K-4, 5-8,

Physical Science/Chemistry and Biology) to support implementation of the Arkansas K-12 Science Standards,

review of The Framework for K-12 Science Education, technology implementation strategies, and lesson planning

were introduced onsite, while incorporating Arkansas ELA and Math standards and supporting the Teacher

Excellence Support System. Science Cadre groups for K-4, 5-8 and 9-12 were formed to ensure a clear

understanding of shifts and expectations of the new science standards. These Cadre groups met three times within

the school year and each meeting was followed up with onsite observations for implementation of the new shifts.

Science content was addressed through the Picture Perfect Science series that is directed toward K-6 students

while addressing Literacy Standards, Science Standards, science inquiry, and the 5-E Model of instruction. Picture

Book Science allows for collaboration with peers within a district, but from various subjects and grade levels.

On-site visits to support engineering, classroom management, and lesson/unit planning occurred throughout the

year. Professional learning opportunities for science focused on planning for and transitioning to the new

Arkansas K-12 Science Standards. The new science standards will also be addressed with a regional conference

style professional development session for grades 5-8 that will provide participants the opportunity to attend grade

level instruction and modeling. Stand-alone sessions for K-4, 5-8, and 9-12 science will be offered throughout the

summer, as well.

who are enrolled in a public school may be enrolled in Virtual Arkansas courses by the local school

administration.

Virtual Arkansas is committed to developing the full potential of Arkansas students by providing access to quality

online courses that incorporate interactive instruction to prepare students to be successful in their college and

career educational pursuits and in the global economy. School districts "Power Up with Virtual Arkansas" for a

variety of reasons. A district may face a teacher shortage, want to provide additional course scheduling

opportunities to their students, offer their students access to a digitally enriched curriculum, or broaden their

course offerings beyond those mandated by the Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools. Finally,

districts that partner with Virtual Arkansas will be satisfying the requirements of Act 1280, the Digital Learning

Act of 2013. www.virtualarkansas.org

Team Digital:

Team Digital works within a state team to support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of digital learning

environments in Arkansas. Team Digital has expertise in emerging online teaching and learning practices that

allow for active learning; effective content authoring and lesson design methods that best serve digital education;

and strategies in helping educators transform system-centered practices into student-centered practices. Team

Program Name: CGI – Cognitively Guided Instruction

Competitive Grant: Yes No

Goals and Description:

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a teacher professional development program that has teachers exploring a

framework for how elementary school children learn concepts of number operations and early algebra. This

knowledge is used to drive instruction. Years two and three of training builds upon the previous year’s training—

resulting in a true, long term sustained professional development program. What teachers learn in a CGI institute

enhances how they implement any curriculum or resource materials into their daily classroom instruction.

Program Name: EtherScope

Competitive Grant : Yes No

Goals and Description: In an effort to assist schools in preparation for online testing, ADE awarded a grant to

the Co-ops for the purchase of EtherScopes. Upon request, we evaluate schools in our cooperative to see if their
