Education Innovation Rally Attracts Educators From Across Arkansas, Hosts TED-ED Student Talks

Ted-Ed Student Talks keynote speakers Alexander Gamble and Nori Shitandi at the 2023 Education Innovation Rally in Rogers.

Since 2015, the Office of Innovation for Education (OIE) has gathered educators from across the state to explore and support each other in designing and implementing student-centered learning.

This year’s Education Innovation Rally was held in Rogers on June 5-6. The rally theme, “Mission: Resilience,” focused on culture, practices, tools and structures that support resiliency with the goal of cultivating hope for each learner. The 2024 rally will be held in Jonesboro on June 4-5, 2024. OIE’s events page will have more information on that rally soon.

“One of the many highlights this year was the TED-Ed Student Talks,” said Denise Airola, OIE director. “The program brought students together to discover, develop and present their best ideas.”

In 2022, OIE was approved as a TED-Ed Student Talks partner and worked with schools across the state to support educators and students in connecting with content standards, preparation of presentations, video submissions and the opportunity to present live at the 2023 OIE Rally. In the fall of 2023, OIE will host Educator Talks, inspired by the TED-Ed student talks.

The OIE was established in 2013 to support innovation in Arkansas schools. It’s housed in the U of A’s College of Education and Health Professions and is funded by the Arkansas Department of Education. The OIE collaborates with public schools, districts, educators and organizations across Arkansas and beyond to ensure a measurable impact for all learners in Arkansas schools and gives “schools the tools to color outside the lines.”

Where Arkansas transfers landed

While the Arkansas Razorbacks have been hitting the transfer portal hard, it is partially as a result of having more than 20 scholarship players decide to enter the portal after a 6-6 regular season that was capped off with a Liberty Bowl win over Texas Tech on Dec. 27.

The transfer portal officially opened Dec. 9 and it was open for a 30 day window through Dec. 28. There is also an additional five-day window for players to enter once their season is over, plus there will be an additional 10-day portal window from April 16-25.

Parade on Beale Street | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

MEMPHIS –While Beale Street is famous for being the Home of the Blues, red was the color of the day Dec. 26 at the Beale Street Parade, where many watchers were clad in red — a team color for both teams playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl the following day.

Marching bands, vintage vehicles, cheer squads and floats marched, strutted and cruised down the historic street in downtown Memphis as fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Tech Red Raiders lined the streets, cheering as bands and cheer squads from their schools passed by.

The University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band, cheerleaders and pep squad brought up the rear of the parade, creating a grand finale as they marched to meet Texas Tech’s Goin’ Band from Raiderland at Beale Street’s Handy Park for a festive Bash on Beale Pep Rally. Both the parade and the pep rally were sponsored by the Beale Street Merchants Association.
