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.

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.
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR:
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.

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,

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.

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
