Arkansas Teacher Corps

Brandon Lucius, @ArkTeacherCorps Executive Director and a lead for our Arkansas and Delta regional hub presents on efforts to create a diverse, representative teaching workforce in rural Arkansas during the learning sessions at #RuralEdForum

Following the recent @sreb conference, @ReachUniversity's Kristen Weeden & @ArkTeacherCorps' Brandon Lucius share how Arkansas is leading the way in building a representative, qualified, and classroom-ready teaching workforce. @ArkansasOnline @bglucius arkansasonline.com/news/2024/aug/…

"What You Tend Will Grow" 🌻 The 2024 Cohort is our largest yet (44 vs 38 in 2023) & more diverse than avg AR educators (86% BIPOC, 64% from low income comm, 44% 1st gen college graduate)! Check out the 2024 cohort at arkansasteachercorps.org/about/2024-coh…

"What You Tend Will Grow" = our theme for the 2024 ATC Summer Institute 🌻 Our 2024 fellows have rooted themselves in community, their passion has germinated, their lesson planning skills have sprouted, & they're ready to bloom. Thank you fellows for tending to your own growth!

RSC recently joined our partners at @ArkTeacherCorps for an All Corps Saturday. Read more about how they are preparing the next generation of teacher-leaders in the Natural State: ruralschoolscollaborative.org/stories/arkans…

We care for Arkansas by promoting wellness and preventing educator burnout. WE CARE+Wellness launched this year to provide wellness training to Arkansas Teach Corps fellows. The program was built to support fellows as they implement the training in their lives #ServicetoArkansas

This op-ed in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette features two of our college's signature programs, @ImpactArkansas and @ArkTeacherCorps, and the significant work they are doing to address the teacher shortage. Check out the entire piece below: arkansasonline.com/news/2023/dec/…

We're so inspired by this @KARK4News story about Kanesha Barnes Adams, a former Pine Bluff teacher who's making children’s lives better in her community. Kanesha (@ACEclusivePearl) graduated from @ImpactArkansas, a leadership prep program in our college. trib.al/0QxA5kX

Congratulations to these 18 Arkansas Teacher Corps Fellows! We are so proud of our regional hub partners @ArkTeacherCorps and @TheNewRuralAR for all they do to support rural educators and schools in Arkansas, and beyond. arkansasteachercorps.org/18-selected-fo…

A team of educators wrote this week in @ArkansasOnline about their work to address teacher shortages and how the 2023 Issues Forum showed them the issue "resonated with educators and policymakers (in) other states." nwaonline.com/news/2023/dec/… #MilestoGo2023 @ImpactArkansas

We are excited to share another amazing teacher feature through the I Am A Rural Teacher Podcast! This new episode, featuring Freda Calloway, comes from our Arkansas & Delta Regional Hub, anchored by our partners @TheNewRuralAR and @ArkTeacherCorps. iamaruralteacher.org/stories/freda-…

Teacher shortages are on a lot of people's minds. Learn how @ArkTeacherCorps keeps their teacher retention "soaring" in our blog post: bit.ly/420Xuh3 via @USATODAY #k12 #highered #edu #teachertwitter #edutwitter

Enjoyed spending time in Charlotte this week at the @SouthernEdFound Issues Forum discussing how @ImpactArkansas and @ArkTeacherCorps are building a pipeline for teachers and principals in Arkansas public schools @UArkansas @uacoehp

Just like we wouldn't expect someone to take a college course about football, pick up an #NFL playbook, and score a touchdown in their first game, we can't expect current educators to dive into #ScienceOfReading instruction without a good coach, a playbook, and some practice.

Shout-out to @ArkTeacherCorps Fellow and 3rd grade teacher LeAndra Grant for her powerful opening remarks about the importance of the #ScienceOfReading at Wednesday's screening of the documentary film "The Right to Read" with executive producer LeVar Burton! #ATCfamily #ReadAR
