"Never doubt that...
a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

BELIEVE
Real, sustained progress in education always comes from the hands and hearts of dedicated teachers who are guided and supported by respectful, visionary leaders. Today, more than ever before, there is a need for leaders within our profession (both inside and outside the classroom) with the ability to put all the pieces together by anticipating needs, being knowledgeable about challenges, and finding workable solutions to impossible problems.
Above and Beyond the Core is the result of the Achieving by Changing initiative initiated by the Arkansas Public School Resource Center. As a non-profit we are committed to developing and supporting common sense solutions that are both efficient and effective.
