The AETN Education Division serves many functions throughout the state, both to local communities and to Arkansas's education system as a whole. These services include community outreach, professional development, online clasroom-ready media, educational productions and technological support for all endeavors.

ArkansasIDEAS (Internet Delivered Education for Arkansas Schools ArkansasIDEAS.org), a partnership between the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and AETN, was created with funding dedicated in Arkansas Legislative Act 2318 of 2005. ArkansasIDEAS provides free professional development for teachers currently holding an Arkansas teaching license.

AETN, ADE and ASCD www.ascd.org, the internationally renowned producer of books, video, audio and onsite professional development for educators and leadership, have partnered to enhance professional development opportunities for Arkansas educators through the ArkansasIDEAS. This partnership expands the professional development offerings to nearly 6,000 hours. Arkansas is the first and only state to offer this partnership with ASCD and to offer its educators access to the best educational authors, scholars and expert practitioners in the world, as well as access to ASCD’s entire library of award-winning online courses. ArkansasIDEAS and ASCD’s interactive, self-paced courses provide growth opportunities in leadership, teaching strategies and curriculum content.

AETN's education curriculum development team is comprised of licensed educators who are specialists in a variety of K-12 subject areas. This team trains educators on the use of the ArkansasIDEAS portal and video streaming, creates custom professional development for schools, and provides resources and support to K-12 educators, administrators and school districts. The education division instructional technology team built, maintains and supports the use of ArkansasIDEAS.

AETN's education production team produces original, award-winning educational productions – some for open access to viewers and some designed for online access by educators – within ArkansasIDEAS. Production also tapes in-studio workshops for video workshops to be synchronously interactive with the 15 ADE Co-op areas of the state.

Finally, the outreach and support team offers services across the state for early childhood and adult education.
