This document reflects work that began prior to the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act. In 2015 the Arkansas Department of Education began engaging with stakeholders to determine how the Department could better support students, educators, school and district leaders, and communities in their efforts to improve student outcomes. The intention was to maximize the flexibility offered under No Child Left Behind to rethink the approach to accountability, moving from a compliance-focused system to one of support. The goal is to unleash the professionalism and creativity of educators to provide student-focused learning opportunities for all students. The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act provided an accelerated path for this goal to be realized.
