Join us as we celebrate innovation in Arkansas Schools by recognizing the work, dedication, and transformation happening in Arkansas' Schools of Innovation! Arkansas law describes a School of Innovation (SOI) as one that 'transforms teaching and learning" and defines innovation as a "new or creative alternative to the existing instructional and administrative practices.' Schools of Innovation collaborate with staff, students, parents, and the community through a rigorous application process to design their School of Innovation. Schools commit to an ongoing cycle of inquiry that guides their next steps to improving teaching and learning.
We celebrate Arkansas Schools of Innovation for:
- Being a School that "Works for All"
- Transforming Learning to Emphasize 21st Century Skills
- Creating a Student-Focused Culture of Learning, and
- Intentional Engagement of all Stakeholders
