The Arkansas Department of Education today announced the 18 Arkansas educators selected to receive a sponsorship of up to $2,000 to attend the Computer Science Teachers Association Annual Conference this summer in Chicago. The sponsorships will assist educators with expanding their knowledge of computer science and give them the opportunity to network with other educators from around the world at the conference, which will be held July 14 to 17, 2022.
Congratulations to Valerie Hooten from Lonoke for being chosen as one of the 18 recipients of the Computer Science PD Sponsorships!
The sponsorships were open to Arkansas K-12 public school teachers, librarians, curriculum coordinators, counselors, and other educators who have demonstrated their commitment to technology integration and computer science education at their school or district.
Governor Asa Hutchinson has proclaimed the week of February 7-11, 2022 as National School Counselor Week in Arkansas to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within the U.S. school system and how students are different as a result of what they do.
Thank you to all of our wonderful, dedicated school counselors! We appreciate all that you do for our students and families.
Wilbur D. Mills ESC will be closed on Friday, February 4th. We will reopen Monday, February 7th.
Here's an example of one of the many awesome teachers in our districts and what they're doing for our students even when they can't be in the classroom together.
One of our math specialists had a Math Quest observation today. A teacher at Cabot presented her lesson online and invited him to join on Google Classroom. This is just one example of some of the dedicated and caring teachers we have in our area!
Wilbur D. Mills ESC will be closed February 3rd due to inclement weather. Everyone stay safe!
