This request for input is being shared with stakeholders from ForwARd Arkansas. ForwARd Arkansas is a nonprofit focused on the state-wide improvement of education in Arkansas. Earlier this summer, Forward launched a new project, in partnership with DESE, called the "State of Education in Arkansas." If you'd be willing, we would love to have your input and voice as a part of this project. Over the next many months, we will be coordinating an extensive effort to gather as much input as possible from district leaders, school leaders, educators, and families across Arkansas. Our plan is that this project will lead to a report that elevates: Where the state has made progress in education over the last 5 years Where we are currently, especially in light of the COVID pandemic Critical education priorities for the next 5 years informed by those in districts, schools, and communities We have launched a brief survey (5 to 7 mins) that is appropriate for any stakeholder. We hope you'll join us in this process. Thanks for your consideration!
