Hello and welcome to the Next Step for Arkansas’ Future website for the business community. This is a place to help you understand the mission of the Arkansas Department of Education to redesign our high school curriculum to restore the value of a high school diploma. Whether kids choose college or not, we need to make sure that ALL students are equipped for life after high school. Arkansas’ Smart Core curriculum is about giving the business community a better prepared workforce. Please take a look around; get to know the program and how you can support it. Thank you for stopping by.
