ADE Summit 2025

Join us for an engaging breakout session exploring the Arkansas Career Coach Program and its impact on student success. In this interactive session, you will first get an overview of the program and how it supports students. Then, hear from a panel of career coaches and school staff who have seen the program in action. They'll answer key questions about career planning, mentorship, and how coaching can transform a student’s journey. Whether you're a superintendent, principal, educator, or counselor, this session will provide practical takeaways on how career coaching can lead to success.

With recent updates to Success-Ready Pathways, it's essential for educators, counselors, and administrators to have a clear understanding of the Merit and Distinction designations. This session will break down the key changes, outline what they mean for students and schools, and provide clarity on implementation. In addition to a detailed overview, attendees will hear from showcase schools that have successfully guided their students to achieve Merit and Distinction. These schools will share their strategies, challenges, and best practices to help others replicate their success. Join us for an insightful session that combines information and inspiration to prepare students for success.
