The Arkansas Curriculum Conference (ACC) will be held November 5-6, 2009, at the Little Rock Statehouse Convention Center and Peabody Hotel. The ACC Conference is a curriculum conference for elementary, secondary, and university teachers. The 2009 theme for the conference is “The Classroom at Work: Standards-based Instruction and Assessment.” Sessions and workshops will provide content and instructional strategies in mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts content areas.

The conference is sponsored by the following professional organizations: Arkansas Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ACTM), Arkansas Science Teachers Association (ASTA), Arkansas Council for the Social Studies (ACSS), and Arkansas Council of Teachers of Language Arts (ACTELA).
