ADE Summit 2025

High-quality instructional materials play a critical role in shaping young children's learning experiences and developmental outcomes. This session will explore how evidence-based, developmentally appropriate materials support early cognitive, social-emotional, and language development. Participants will gain insights into selecting and implementing instructional materials that align with best practices in early childhood education. Through discussion and real-world examples, we will examine how these materials enhance classroom engagement, promote equitable learning opportunities, and contribute to positive child outcomes. Educators, administrators, and early childhood professionals will leave with practical strategies for integrating high-quality instructional resources into their programs to maximize learning success.

This session will explore two years of Curriculum-Based Professional Learning (CBLP) data collected from over 60 districts. Learn about CBPL, begin to assess your readiness level for CBPL, and learn about the Arkansas Professional Learning Partner Guide (AR PLPG). Representatives from participating districts will talk about their experience with through-year coaching for their literacy curricula across the K-12 grade spans.
