Director’s Annual Memo

The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative maintained our approach to provide progressive, quality

services to the school districts we served through 2016. We are committed to serving our school districts and

meeting their needs in this ever evolving environment that we find in education today. We continued with

the task of aiding our schools in their attempts to implement the Arkansas State Standards, while continuing

to assist them in receiving quality training in the many required areas of professional development. Our

Board members are very active in their service to the cooperative and are providing a very sound shared

vision for the cooperative.

The 2015-16 annual report prepared by the staff of the Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative

reflects information on the programs and grants conducted through the co-op for our 17 school districts and

collaborative partners. The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative has 57 employees total, some of

which are housed in the schools and preschools.

We run four state programs. The Arkansas Department of Education Base Funding to the co-op is $408,618

and the total budget is approximately $5.3 million.

One of the main purposes of the co-op is to be effective and efficient in the administration of programs for

the schools. As a result, our 17 school districts or a portion of these school districts, often share joint

programs. Listed below are examples of these shared programs:

APSCN Field Support Medicaid Billing Services

College and Career Readiness Prep Program Perkins Consortium Coordinator

The co-ops of Arkansas have served as the implementation support agents for new state initiatives. The

Wilbur D. Mills Cooperative has provided the extensive professional development and capacity building

necessary to implement the state initiatives. We plan to continue to effectively provide support for the

Arkansas State Standards and the new teacher evaluation system. The mission of the Wilbur D. Mills

Education Service Cooperative is to support and serve our school districts as they strive to provide a high

quality education to their students. We will aspire to provide these services in the most effective and

efficient manner possible. The staff of the Wilbur D. Mills Cooperative looks forward to the challenges of

the upcoming year. We will endeavor to provide quality services to each of our school districts.

or evaluations of a co-op activity.

WDMESC and Harding STEM Center Partnership

Wilbur D. Mills ESC and Harding STEM Center partner to serve the schools in our cooperative area.

Collaborative services include leadership meetings for both Math and Science, professional development

opportunities related to MDC/LDC, Picture Book Science, state mandated testing, Engineering is Elementary,

STEM activities, Computer Science, and state Science and Mathematics Content Modules. Specialists from

WDMESC and Harding STEM Center volunteered to serve at the First Robotics Competition in Little Rock,

Arkansas. Together the Specialists have helped coordinate Math and Science Nights as well as STEM Nights

for area schools. Additional team efforts include providing support for priority schools and implementation of

new state standards.

WDMESC Dyslexia Contacts Professional Learning Community

Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Dyslexia Contacts Professional Learning Community in

collaboration with Arkansas Department of Education was developed to support our member districts in their

dyslexia needs. All of our districts participated in this opportunity. Each district selected a dyslexia contact to

attend monthly sessions to collaborate in interventions, assessments, and data analysis. The focus this year has

been to improve student learning and meet the needs of students with characteristics of dyslexia. Throughout

these meetings we have discussed and provided training on administering, analyzing, and interpreting initial

screeners and level II assessments. Also, we have collaborated on interventions for various areas of need to

increase student learning. We believe that building capacity is crucial to providing appropriate learning

experiences for all students.

WDMESC Literacy Leaders Professional Learning Community Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Literacy Leaders Professional Learning Community in

collaboration with Arkansas Department of Education was developed to improve the teaching and learning

practices in K-12 literacy. All of our member districts participated in this opportunity. Each district selected a

literacy leader to attend monthly sessions to collaborate in literacy content, curriculum alignment, assessment,

and instructional practices. The focus this year has been ACT Aspire, dyslexia, ELA standards, Computer

Science standards, research- based instructional practices, and data collection with Student GPS. We believe

that building capacity is crucial to providing appropriate learning experiences for all students.

WDMESC Math Leadership Council The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Math Leadership Council in collaboration with Arkansas

Department of Education was developed to improve the teaching and learning process in mathematics in K-

12. All 17 of our districts were asked to participate along with our STEM center math specialist in this project.

Districts selected math leader/s to attend monthly training/collaborating work sessions in math content,

curriculum alignment, assessment and instructional process delivery. The WDMESC math specialist and

STEM center math specialist developed math capacity in the local school districts through these work

sessions. Dr. Linda Griffith (UCA) and Thomas Coy (ADE) were also asked to provide training during the

year. Our focus this year has been on the Common Core State Standards, the Common Core Progressions,

PARCC Testing and related resources, and It's TIME: Themes and Imperatives

17

for Mathematics Education. A Leadership Framework for Common Core Mathematics published by National

Council of Supervisors of Mathematics

WDMESC Science Leadership Council The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Science Leadership Council in collaboration with

Arkansas Department of Education was developed to improve the teaching and learning process in Science. In

order to best address the implementation of the New Arkansas Science Standards and support grade

appropriate issues, three groups have been created: K-4, 5-8, and 9-

12. Grade bands K-4 and 5-8 met three times during the 2015-2016 school year. Dates have been set for each

of the three grade bands to meet once each semester for the coming 2016-2017 school year. All 16 of our

districts participated along with our co-op science specialist, the Harding STEM center science specialist, and

Crowley’s Ridge science specialist. Work sessions include examining the new science standards, curriculum

alignment, instructional process, and collaborating to create lessons based on these new standards. The

science specialist developed capacity in the local school districts through these work sessions. The focus this

year has been on the New Arkansas Science Standards and the development of lessons to assist the K-2

teachers in our state. WDMESC participated in a state wide project of lesson development for literacy and

science with integrated curriculum components. We believe that building capacity is crucial to providing

appropriate learning experiences for all our students.

WDMESC Curriculum Directors’ Professional Learning Community The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Curriculum Directors’ PLC in collaboration with

Arkansas Department of Education was established to improve the teaching and learning process for all

content areas and to assist with the dissemination of information regarding curricula choices and

implementation. All 17 of our districts participate in this work. Each district designates staff to attend regular

meetings held throughout the year. The meetings serve as a venue for ADE personnel to meet with district

leaders to roll out new requirements, explain initiatives, rules, and implementation of curriculum. Other

education experts are also invited to present at these meetings, as is appropriate. The PLC meetings provide

opportunities for leaders to share and discuss with their colleagues from other districts. The leaders are able to

go back to their district and share their enhanced knowledge and understanding. We believe that these PLC

meetings are an opportunity to build capacity within our districts.

WDMESC Principals’ Professional Learning Community The Wilbur D. Mills Education Service Cooperative Principals’ PLC in collaboration with Arkansas

Department of Education was established to assist building leaders as they enable their teachers to increase

and improve learning opportunities for their students. The regularly scheduled Principals’ PLC meetings are

designed to enhance the understanding of current educational initiatives for the principals in our region. Our

goal is to provide explanation and clarification as well as implementation plans and strategies. Some of the

meetings are designed for specific grade level bands such as PK-6 or 7-12; others are for PK-12 when

appropriate. The

ADE staff often presents at our Principals’ PLC meetings. Principals are given an opportunity to share with

their colleagues across the region what is working well at their buildings. The round table discussions are very

popular with the building leaders. The leaders then have a better capacity to lead their teachers in new or

enhanced understandings.

Goal: The goal of Career and Technical Education is to prepare students to enter the workforce or to enter into post-

secondary education. It is our goal to train our teachers in the most current technology and bring that

technology to our students so that we can best prepare them for the future ahead. We use our Perkins

indicators as a guide to determine where to provide additional training for teachers and students.

Program Summary: The coordinator for the Wilbur D. Mills Consortium is required to write the annual Perkins Grant and to

expend the grant monies throughout the member districts. This is done through pre- approved projects in the

grant. The coordinator is also responsible for handling the reports required by the program and the

professional development as needed.

Major Highlights of the Year: This year our consortia concentrated on Technical Skill Attainment and Literacy Skills. We started an

intensive skill attainment program in 2012-13 school year that will be carried through the 2015-2016 school

year. This project is centered on interim testing for all of our EOC tests. We also provided extensive training

for MAX Teaching with our member districts. Both sets of scores have increased and we are no longer on the

State Improvement Plan. We will, however, continue to work in both of the areas to maintain skill levels. We

are in an improvement plan for nontraditional enrollment and nontraditional completion. We are working with

the advisory council and the WIOA boards to help realign our programs to be more in line with industry

needs.

Shawn Finley Business Manager HSD

Dana Jarrett Assistant Bookkeeper HSD

Program Summary: The director has general supervisory responsibility for all cooperative programs. He is responsible to the

governing board for recommendations on personnel, programs, and operations. He is specifically charged

with leading the Cooperative staff to accomplish goals and to meet the program and service expectations of

all funding agencies and stakeholders. He serves as a liaison for member districts to the Department for

Education, the State Board of Education, the legislature, and other policy making agencies.

Both the director and business manager are bonded representatives with fiduciary responsibility for receiving

and expending all funds. Because the Arkansas Public School Network (APSCN) accounting system is

required of all state education agencies and because that system loosely fits such agencies as cooperatives

where funding comes from many and varied sources, the bookkeeping procedures are complicated. The result

is that much attention is paid to internal fiscal control. Each cooperative program coordinator is responsible

for that program budget and is required to maintain a program account consistent with the APSCN coding

procedures established by the central office and to work closely with the director and business manager in all

fiscal decisions.

Goal: The goal of the Early Childhood Special Education Program is to identify and serve children with disabilities, ages 3 through 5, by providing developmental special education services, speech therapy, and related services such as occupational and/or physical therapy.

Program Summary:

Through the Early Childhood Special Education Program, children who may demonstrate potential

developmental delays that would adversely affect their learning are located, identified, evaluated, and, if

eligible, provided special education services. The following services are available: Developmental Special

Education Services, speech/language therapy, and related services in occupational therapy, and/or physical

therapy.

Behavior Intervention Consultation services are provided to assure that children ages 3 through 5 in need of

behavioral interventions are properly identified and receive the necessary services and supports. The

consultants work with Early Childhood teachers in ABC, Pre-K, Head Start, and Day Care programs to

develop behavior interventions for students who are eligible for special education services for developmental

delays in the area of Social/Emotional Development.

Once a child is referred to the program, that child is screened in the areas of vision, hearing, motor, cognition,

self-help, social/emotional, and communication. If the screening process identifies a potential delay, a Special

Education Referral is completed to determine if evaluations may be made. When the evaluation process is

completed and it is determined that a child is eligible for Special Education Services, an IEP is developed to

address the deficit area(s). A review of the child's progress, educational placement, and IEP is held annually.

The Early Childhood Special Education Program works closely with ABC, Pre-K, Day Cares, and Head

Start programs as well as with parents in the White, Woodruff, Prairie, and Lonoke counties in order to

meet the individual special education needs of their children.

Major Highlights of the Year:

Through the Child Find process, the following numbers were compiled:

Goals: One of the main goals for the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Specialist at Wilbur D.

Mills Education Service Cooperative is to provide quality educational opportunities for students. Some of

the other goals of the ESOL Specialist are as follows: Assist member districts to ensure compliance with

the Arkansas Department of Education ESOL program guide, and the office of Civil Rights and

Department of Justice obligations, provide quality resources, serve as a liaison with the Arkansas

Department of Education Office Division of Learning Services (ESOL), work with parent and professional

organizations including other public and private agencies, work with the district coordinators to promote

public awareness and advocacy, support coordinators in program options, and provide districts with

current research, trends, and instructional strategies appropriate for varying levels of English Language

Learners (ELL).

Program Summary: This year was the first year for WDMESC to provide an ESOL Specialist to assist schools with support

of their ESOL programs. There were quarterly coordinators’ meetings held at WDMESC. These

meetings were also available via Zoom for those districts unable to attend. These meetings were used to

support districts in the new handbook published by the ADE, host webinars with the ADE, and to share

strategies and opportunities available to assist them in their local programs. The WDMESC Specialist

attended several professional development opportunities this year. With that in mind, WDMESC plans

to offer sessions in the future for coordinators, teachers, and paraprofessionals around strategies and

best practice for our English Language Learners.

Major Highlights of the Year: The ESOL Coordinator participated in a blended learning experience concerning Sheltered Instruction

Observation Protocol with Bald Knob Public Schools. This course was very challenging and working with the

32

Bald Knob staff allowed for great collaborative conversations. The ESOL Coordinator also attended the

sheltered instruction presentation by Paula Johnson at the AEA conference. WDMESC has seen an increase in

the number of districts participating in PLC’s (Professional Learning Communities) meetings. This is partially

due to having an assigned person working with each PLC on a regular basis. New requirements received from

ADE has also been a factor. Because of the increase of correspondence with districts, we have seen an

increase in the rapport among ESOL Coordinators from district to district as well as the cooperative increased

relationship with district coordinators has brought growth increase in the levels of support in specific areas

such as handbooks, highly effective instructional strategies, and development and implementation of program

options.

thirty-two (32) home-based educators from the school districts administered the Brigance Developmental

Screening to each child three times a year and role-played HIPPY curriculum each week to the caregiver.

The staff also assisted each family in acquiring the documentation necessary for the child to successfully

transition into school. This documentation included information such as birth certificate, social security

cards, immunization records, and current well child check-ups. The staff also entered each family and child

into the ABC data system, COPA, which tracts family information and weekly home visits. Monthly group

meetings were held for HIPPY children and families in each school district. Weekly staff trainings led by the

field coordinators were held at 5 HIPPY sites to provide home-based educators the skills to effectively

instruct and support parents.

Program Summary: The Medicaid program is a state operated program to provide reimbursement for services for low income

and the medically needy. In the case of school districts, the program affects children who are being serviced

through the school districts for hearing or vision, EPSFDT screening, diagnosis and treatment, speech,

physical or occupational therapy services and who have met all requirements to be eligible for the Medicaid

Program. The school districts submit to the co-op records, which consist of the completed IEP, physician

referral, reports, history, and evaluations for each eligible student. After all files are received, the co-op

sends a prescription to the child’s primary care physician for his/her signature. This prescription is then put

in the child’s folder.

The co-op then submits each claim electronically to EDS for payment by the AR Medicaid Program. The co-

op sends each participating school districts’ reimbursement to the district when received. At the end of each

quarter the school district is invoiced for 10% administrative fee to cover administrative expenses. The

remaining 90% is deposited into a federal account by each school district and spent within one year on

Special Education Services.

Major Highlights of the Year: The WDMESC served 4 schools this year. The program was successful in getting Medicaid funds for our

districts.

Program Summary: The GT Specialist and Science Specialist provided professional development for new Novice Teacher

Mentors and support for previously trained mentors during the 2015-2016 school year. During this time, both

mentors and their project directors were kept informed of pertinent changes to the system and provided

support as needed for BloomBoard. Those who previously attended the professional development (2015-

2016) for Novice Teacher Mentors will be required to watch a video prepared by the Arkansas Department of

Education that will provide updated information on the changes that are taking place for the 2016-17 school

year. This training will provide mentors with the information and knowledge needed to mentor a novice

teacher during the ensuing school year.

New mentor training will provide mentors with an understanding of the elements of the new mentoring

process and how to utilize BloomBoard for information gathering and reporting. The goal of mentoring is to

provide continuous professional growth for the novice teacher. Mentors assist the novice teacher in the

implementation of the goals in the Professional Growth Plan, (which is developed by the novice teacher and

his or her administrator), the identification and celebration of strength areas, procurement of resources (both

human and material), and identification of professional development opportunities. The cooperative will

continue to support participating districts in creating and sustaining a successful mentoring program for new

teachers in the profession.

Virtual Arkansas is committed to developing the full potential of Arkansas students by providing access to

quality 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

statewide, giving this cooperative an opportunity to participate.

Program Name: ACT Aspire Competitive

Grant Yes No X Goals and

Description: Wilbur Mills Cooperative technology coordinators and staff have provided support to district testing and

technology personnel as preparations were made for the initial implementation of ACT Aspire in the spring of

2016. Support included onsite visits within districts to aid in preparing technology infrastructure, providing

multiple training opportunities for ACT Aspire updates, and hosting ACT Aspire workdays to help with data

entry and test scheduling.

Additionally, cooperative technology coordinators provided ongoing assistance through emails and phone

conversations as problems and questions arose in districts. The Wilbur Mills Cooperative also provided

support to classroom teachers and instructional leaders to ensure Arkansas content standards were taught in a

manner that would prepare students for the ACT Aspire. In addition to ADE presenters, cooperative content

specialists provided face-to-face trainings on ACT Aspire resources and their use in strengthening the

classroom teachers’ understanding of assessment requirements for students. Trainings will continue during the

summer of 2016 and the upcoming school year.

Program Name: CGI-Cognitively Guided Instruction Competitive Grant: Yes x

Goals and Description: No

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a teacher professional development program that has teachers

exploring a framework for how elementary school children learn concepts of number operations and early

algebra. This knowledge is used to drive instruction. Years 2 & 3 of training builds upon the previous year’s

training—resulting in a true, long-term sustained professional development program. What teachers learn in a

CGI institute enhances how they implement any curriculum or resource materials into their daily classroom

instruction.

Program Name: Instructional Facilitating Competitive Grant: Yes

Goals and Description: No x

Instructional Facilitating Training is based on Dr. Jim Knight’s Instructional Coaching Institute from the

University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. The training will refine the Instructional Facilitator’s

understanding of their various roles and distinguish between effective

and ineffective coaching practices. The training will also provide leadership skills for leading

reform, give direction on fostering internal commitment in others, and determine when it is or is not

appropriate for modeling in a classroom.

64

Program Name: Enhancing Education Through Technology Grant (TIE) Project Competitive Grant: Yes x

Goals and Description: No

The purpose of the TIE project is to increase technology integration across the state of Arkansas. Southwest

Arkansas Education Co-op wrote a comprehensive partnership EETT grant to develop a statewide

professional development module system to embrace all forms of technology, meet the needs of teachers and

administrators, and address State standards and licensure issues while enhancing instruction through

integrated technology practices. All education cooperatives across the state were offered the opportunity to

train teachers from their area to become TIE Cadre members. There are currently 114 TIE Cadre members

impacting 71 districts and 80 buildings across the state. Cadre members have conducted over 300 workshops

across the state on 72 different technology modules. The trainings have impacted 5,000 teachers and

administrators.

The modules are all project based and have been developed by teachers. Modules include trainings on

things such as Blogs, Classroom Wikis, High Yield Strategies with Technology, Internet Safety,

Podcasting and Video Editing. Modules are housed on the TIE website at http://tie.k12.ar.us. By sharing

these modules across the state, we are able to offer the same quality in technology trainings that we did not

have before. The cadre members not only train for the education co-ops in the summer but are also able to

help train in their buildings and districts. Module development and professional growth are the focus of

cadre trainings.

Program Name: EtherScopes Competitive Grant: Yes

Goals and Description:

No_x

In an effort to assist schools in preparation for online Common Core State Standards testing in 2015, ADE

awarded a grant to the Cooperative for the purchase of an EtherScope in 2013 and purchase a companioning

Link Runner in 2014. Our goal was to evaluate all of the schools in our cooperative to see if their networks are

capable of connecting 1 to 1 computer to student for the CCSS testing. When we visit each school, we save

reports from the EtherScope for evaluation purposes and inform the school technology coordinator of the

findings. We also use these devices for troubleshooting, network design, network redesign, network mapping,

and for connectivity/throughout test, which help the schools and their techs in evaluating, troubleshooting, and

planning for their schools.

Program Name: Literacy Design Collaborative/Mathematics Design Collaborative Competitive Grant Yes X_ No

http://tie.k12.ar.us/

65

Goals and Description: The LDC/MDC is an ongoing professional development process which consists of tasks aligned to the

standards that target those skills needed in reading, writing, and mathematics. Formative Assessment is used

as a tool for monitoring what students are learning and identifying misunderstanding or skill weaknesses in

students. These tasks work together to provide robust learning opportunities for students who are evaluated

with a scoring rubric that helps educators across our state and nation calibrate high expectations. The

LDC/MDC work is implemented in literacy, social studies/history, mathematics, science and career education

classes for students in grades 9 and 10.

Program Name: TESS Competitive Grant: Yes Goals and Description:

No_X

The Framework for Teaching by Charlotte Danielson provides the foundation for the Arkansas Teacher

Excellence and Support System (TESS). Teachscape partnered with Charlotte Danielson and Educational

Testing Service (ETS) to develop FOCUS, software provided by ADE that provides new district evaluators

with comprehensive training and scoring practice, followed by a scientifically designed assessment of ability

to accurately and consistently apply the Danielson rubric for teaching performance. The cooperatives held the

three hours Laws and Process training. The Arkansas Department of Education provided training for

administrators at each cooperative on Summative Evaluation Process and Professional Growth Plans.

Arkansas Department of Education in conjunction with BloomBoard and cooperatives provided regional

BloomBoard Universities. The purpose of the BloomBoard University was to showcase the insights and

reports as well as the additional features available to schools. The cooperatives are currently scheduling

additional sessions to extend the learning and to support administrators and teachers as they continue to

implement TESS as the teacher evaluation system in the 2015-16 school year.

Program Name: Leadership Excellence and Development System

Competitive Grant: Yes

Goals and Description:

No_X

The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards provide the basis for the Arkansas

evaluation and support system for all Arkansas administrators except superintendents (for whom an

evaluation system is currently being piloted). Trainings for the LEADS program throughout the 2015-2016

school year included work with the rubric, summative evaluations of

principals, assistant principals, and other administrators, use of BloomBoard for evaluation and artifacts, and

other support, as needed in individual cooperatives.
