Throughout the development of Arkansas’ plan, ADE collaborated with stakeholders around the state. Feedback was received from regional community listening forums, ambassador-led forums and advisory team meetings. ADE initiated surveys to get input, and the Vision for Excellence in Education and Arkansas Accountability System Steering Committee provided guidance throughout the process.
