Today, OUR Education Co-op was excited to host "Grades 3–10 Writing that Aligns with ATLAS"!
Educators from across our region came together to strengthen writing instruction and prepare for using the updated ATLAS writing rubric during the 2026–27 school year.
Throughout the day, teachers explored current ATLAS writing data, collaborated to analyze student writing samples, and strengthened their understanding of the Arkansas Academic Standards. Participants also gained practical, classroom-ready strategies for providing meaningful feedback, making instructional decisions, and supporting student growth as writers.
Thank you to all of the dedicated educators who invested their time in learning and collaborating today. Your commitment to improving instruction and helping students become confident, successful writers will make a lasting impact in classrooms across our region!

Early Childhood Special Education Department seeking new employee
We had an incredible time connecting general education and special education math teachers for a powerful day of professional learning. This session was all about making inclusion work in real classrooms.
Our amazing educators walked away with high-impact, practical strategies to make inclusion seamless and successful—without rewriting the playbook.
From co-teaching hacks to scaffolding math instruction without lowering expectations, these educators are leaving with tools they can use in their classrooms tomorrow.
