Guy Fenter Education Service Cooperative
Mission Statement
The mission of the Guy Fenter Education Service Cooperative is to assist the member schools in more
effective and more equitable use of their shared resources and to provide shared services for the better
education of their children and youth.
General Goals
Service desires of the local school districts shall be the paramount influence on the design of the
cooperative’s services programs. Such programs will also be influenced by the State Department of
Education’s desire to make services available to local districts through the cooperative.
The cooperative shall endeavor to provide requested services more economically and/or more
effectively than the same services could be provided on an individual district basis.
The cooperative shall strive to make services to all interested districts as equally accessible as
possible.
Communications and Coordination
The cooperative shall work with its local school districts, with other cooperatives and the State
Department of Education to improve communication and coordination through the Arkansas network
of local school districts.
This cooperative shall constantly strive to reflect the wishes of the local districts’ representatives in its
operation, consistent with the applicable provisions of statutes and state regulations.

Professional Growth Plans, Scripting, and Specialty Rubrics during the fall of 2015.
Additionally, two representatives from each cooperative participated in an extended
training that began in the fall of 2014 and will continue to support administrators
through the coaching process for TESS. The

Work with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and how they tie to the new

could occur across grade levels and disciplines.

MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR:
State Level
Arkansas Transition Services held two Cadre meetings i n L i t t l e R o c k w here the local
teams came together to receive professional development in transition assessments, student
focused planning, practice profiles, agencies, and post school options. These events provided
opportunities for continued team planning and networking.
ATS is continuing the pilot of the State Toolkit for State Toolkit for Examining Post-School
Success (STEPSS). It is a web-based, data-based decision making tool designed to support
state departments of education in disseminating and using data related to secondary transition
(SPP Part B Indicators 1, 2, 13, and 14) to improve in-school transition programs for youth
with disabilities. STEPSS training were held in June 2015 with eight districts attending in
order to pilot the program beginning this past fall. One district from NWAESC (Rogers) and
one district from GFESC (Greenwood) are participating.
The Arkansas Interagency Transition Partnership (AITP) will hold the fourth annual AITP
Summer Connections as a way for district personnel around the state to learn about a
variety of agency services. We will be including a panel of employers of people with
disabilities to discuss their experiences and expectations of working with people with
disabilities.
The AITP has developed, printed, and handed out to schools, a Resource Guide. These
guides were developed for schools and agencies to give to parents as a way to help increase
parental awareness of the importance of transition and resources to help with transition as
early as possible.
This year will be the 10th annual College Bound Arkansas . This is a yearly event held in
collaboration with University of Central Arkansas. It is a three day residential program
intended to increase student's knowledge of accommodations, assistive technologies, leadership
skills, and other exciting aspects of college life. Parents and professionals are also invited to
attend and learn about the possibilities for their children and students at the college level.

GOAL:
The mission of the digital learning program is to provide equitable, efficient, and effective learning

support and provide resources to assist Virtual Arkansas and Team Digital.
PROGRAM SUMMARY:
Virtual Arkansas is an Arkansas-based program that is implemented through a partnership between
the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives. We provide
an array of quality digital courses to public school students in Arkansas and utilize Arkansas licensed
instructors. Virtual Arkansas serves approximately 200 districts and over 30,000 student enrollments.
We are not an online high school or a diploma-granting institution but are a resource for
supplementing education for public school students. Students who are enrolled in a public school may
be enrolled in Virtual Arkansas courses by the local school administration.
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
31
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.
