TEXARKANA, Ar. (KTAL/KMSS) – The Texarkana Arkansas School District proudly announced that an Arkansas Middle School Principal has been recognized for their outstanding dedication.

Ms. Thelma Forte was officially established as an exemplary leader by the Extraordinary Educators Leadership Collaborative (EELC). An accomplishment the district is happy to celebrate.

“We are incredibly proud of Ms. Forte for being recognized as an exemplary leader by the Extraordinary Educators Leadership Collaborative,” said Dr. Lloyd Jackson, Superintendent of the Texarkana Arkansas School District. “Her commitment to student growth, equity, and instructional excellence reflects the high standards we strive for in TASD. This recognition not only honors her leadership but also highlights the powerful work being done at Arkansas Middle School.”

Forte has been recognized as one of twenty exceptional principals and assistant principals across 13 states. This honor highlights their remarkable leadership and commendable implementation of Curriculum Associates’ i-Ready programs.

i-Ready is an online program that provides both diagnostic assessments and personalized instruction in reading and mathematics for students in grades K-12, created to help teachers understand students’ needs, personalize their learning, and track their progress throughout the year. 

To qualify for selection, principals must have held their current position for no more than five years. Additionally, they must have at least two years of experience with i-Ready and/or Ready programs. It is also essential that they showcase a strong dedication to promoting student achievement, equity, and innovative teaching practices.

Through the EELC, Ms. Forte and her cohort will explore topics including school culture, data-driven instruction, educator wellness, and student engagement. P

Participants will also have the opportunity to present at the annual Extraordinary Educators Leadership Summit and other professional learning events throughout the year.
