We are excited to introduce AR Board Ed, the Arkansas School Boards Association's new online, on-demand learning platform designed to support your professional development as a school board member or district official.
Key Features of AR Board Ed:
Flexible Learning: Access courses anytime, anywhere, at your own pace.
Comprehensive Content: Explore a wide range of topics relevant to your role.
User-Friendly Interface: Navigate courses with ease.
Getting Started:
To help you become familiar with the platform, we highly recommend watching our brief video tutorial or enrolling in our free Getting Started course. These resources will guide you through the platform's features and ensure a smooth learning experience.
Important Information:
Annual Training Hours Deadline: To have your training hours count toward the current training year, please complete your courses by December 31. If you complete the course by this deadline, your hours will count. Your hours may not show up on your AR Board Connect transcript right away, as we'll update them manually after the holidays.
Available Courses and Credits: We currently have 16 hours worth of training credit available on the platform, including our most recent New Board Member Institute, recorded on December 11, 2024. This institute is available as a 6-hour full-day training or as individual 1-hour sessions. Please note that you can earn credit for each course only once. If you complete the full-day training, you cannot receive additional credit for the same sessions taken separately. Check back often as we will continue to add to our course offerings!
Sign Up: It’s recommended that users sign up and register for courses themselves. This ensures information stays secure and allows users to become familiar with the platform.
Invoicing: Upon enrolling in and completing a course, your district will be invoiced for the associated fees. Please check with your superintendent before enrolling. *If you would like to audit one or more of ASBA's available recorded trainings for no cost and no credit, click here.
Support: If at any time you need assistance using the platform, you may reach out to Jessica Prothro at jprothro@arsba.org.
To get started, visit our AR Board Ed Online Learning page for more details and access to the platform.
We look forward to supporting your continued growth and success through AR Board Ed!
