Through the analysis, we seek to explore how high schooleducation in Arkansas is preparing students for next-generation workforce needs in analytics. Inaddition, we perform a descriptive statistics analysis of the learning modules created by theparticipating teachers through the AR-DATA program. We summarize the standards the teachershave used for their modules as well as the common ideas and topics of the learning modules.Through connecting the modules in different subject areas, we also analyze the possibilities ofcollaborative lesson plans that teachers in different fields can coordinate and teach together.Finally, we examine related topics in the post-secondary

Findings from the review serve as bases toestablish a strategic plan for the SSC.The literature review also revealed several issues that led to the launching of this project. First-generation college students demand extra support to find their path to academic and professionalsuccess [7]. Undecided freshmen desire more educated decision before choosing the right major.Students who have been mostly isolated in their last two years of high school need intentionallyadded support in order to develop their social skills [8, 9].

Lack of time to plan andimplement NE was cited as the topmost challenge for teachers.  Inability to figure out books andproblems, pressure from administration, difficulties in lesson planning, group dynamics amongstudents, and safety of students while handling materials were some of the other concernsmentioned in the evaluation.Similar findings were uncovered in a survey of 70 elementary and middle school teachers doneby Coppola, S.M., Madariaga, L. and Schnedeker, M.

The success of these programs in meeting their objectives demonstrateshow vital it is to jointly consider three factors: Results (learner outcomes), Reproducibility(adequacy of resources), and Representation (diverse and inclusive staffing and studentparticipation). The program partnership rubric was developed to help partnerships plan andevaluate their programs based on these three factors. How the rubric was used to plan these pilotprograms and determine how and/or whether to run them again is explained.Introduction In the United States, students in
