Establish lasting relationships with innovative leaders in the state and nation
OIE's Annual Education Innovation Conference
Arkansas is becoming a leader in educational innovation thanks to pioneers across the state and the emphasis on student focused learning by our state department. Over the years, we've worked to engage educators' awareness of innovative practices and designs. Travel to any region of the state and you will see educators engaged in conversations and actions to innovate! The Innovation Rally pulls from successful student focused learning system designs and puts educators and students at the center of the design process. In fact, we have no doubt you will leave with a new or expanded vision of learning. One based on the premise we deeply believe.... that inside the learner is the design! We have school systems across the state, and country, successfully implementing innovative and student focused learning systems. These systems are transforming what it means to be a student in a public school system. Come hear, learn, share, and network with these pioneers.

Our Education Summit Is Getting A New Name
Over the past 6 years, we have grown and evolved in our work to support innovation in learning. We looked back at where we had been and we looked forward to where we want to be in the future--updating our mission, vision, and values to reflect how the innovation landscape is evolving. We thought the annual Summit should reflect the growing network of innovative professionals emerging in Arkansas and the region. We want to create a learning space where educators can connect and learn--leaving energized for teaching and learning. We want to rally with you to continue the spirit of innovation; therefore, the name Innovation Rally was born.
